ATTENTION: CB Pipe Tobacco Review Bombing Run Version 2.0

[MrMotoyoshi]

My tobaccos arrived. Thank you @NeverBend for doing this! They made it though customs, opened, but untaxed. You have the magic touch.

I received Yellow J, Green C and Pink A.

The J and the C are both in flake form and about the size of two SG flakes put together. A is very dark and from outside the bag it looks to be either straight latakia or a lot of stove VA. Maybe a mixture of both?

The I only opened one bag and will probably smoke through a full bag before I move onto the next one. I asked the Mrs to choose one and she picked Yellow J G&H Louisiana Flake

Appearance. A very clean cut and dense flake. Dark to light brown with some strips of dark/black. It smells very chocolatey. I broke on of the flakes in half and did a fold and stuff in a Kiko African Meerschaum Dublin after letting it sit for 30 mins. Took a bit to get it going but once there was a nice even burn the flake did its magic.

Taste. Right away I noticed some Lakeland essence (not a bad thing but I'm glad i put it in one of my meers). When I first got a Custom-built pot there was a ghost of slight lakeland in that pipe. I am almost positive this was the tobacco that person smoked in it. The perfume scent isn't overbearing but subtle. I am definitely getting burley and Virginia but this is not a typical aromatic tobacco. It tastes like very high quality leaf with slight toppings of cocoa and lakeland sauce. The balance is wonderful and boy does this stuff burn slow. I mean real slow. I'm going to need some more bowls of this to give a better description but for now, it's very enjoyable.
