A mixture of large flakes. Needs to be aired briefly after opening. Quite mild and no complaints on room note. Seems to leave a slight aftertaste but burns cool.

I do enjoy this blend and would like to give it 4 stars but the confusing thing about the blend is it’s description on pipesandcigars. It says it’s black cavendish and the picture looks that way. The tobacco I got looks like a mixture of burley, Virginia and black cavendish. Because of the somewhat misleading description, I’m giving it 3 stars because it smokes well and I do like it but it does make me wonder if I’ll get the same thing if I ordered it again.

I consider myself relatively new to the art of pipe smoker, I started in 2014 for a short while but took a long hiatus until late 2021. I grabbed the Brigadier Black sampler pack from pipes and cigars and began my reintroduction to smoking pipe,
The Antietam description caught my attention as it was described as a black cavendish with a black cherry flavor undertone. I utilized the "frank" method of packing my corn cob and the breathing technique. I'm not great at describing flavor, I'm probably ignorant in terms of flavor profiling but I'll try my best. It smoked very smooth, mellow, no bite at all, it was also quite sweet. However the cons were that there was little to no cherry, I couldn't find it at the top of the bowl, the bottom, or anywhere in-between. Despite the main character missing from the show, I did enjoy how mellow and smooth this tobacco was. I'd give it a 2.75
