Another new tin of tobacco for this mornings' smoke in my "go to" Savinelli Oscar 127 is a McClelland brand called Royal Cajun Dark. But before we go any further I wanted to point out the new addition to my pipe tobacco hobby---the "Moray Eel" tamper! I gave it this name because that is what it reminds me of...a wicked, sinister, badass beast of the deep! Aaron Strange (@briarboy on IG) continues to express his talents through his works of art...highly recommended item to add to your collection if you don't already own one :) Besides the new tamper and the new baccy, my Savinelli got a buff job! I picked up a "block" of carnuba wax to bring back the shine of briar in my pipes. A little wax on the buffing wheel and viola! A shiny new-looking pipe :P Anyhow, back to the baccy. This tin has brown and almost black course Virginia tobacco + Perique which is ready for smoking--not moist and not too dry. Putting the sniffer to the test revealed a nice smokey sweetness with BBQ and woody aroma! Once lit in my pipe, a nice full smoke and similar flavors that touched the nose carried over to the palate. It is much lighter but I could taste the sweet smokey BBQ flavors. The pillow of sweet smoke rolled over my tongue which was also silky smooth---me likes! It is a relaxing and enjoyable tobacco that I would recommend for sure!
