Tobacco Review - Low Country Tobacco Waccamaw

Recently the folks at smokingpipes.com have come out with three (3) of their own blends. (See www.smokingpipes.com under tinned tobacco). I ordered some Waccamaw, and my impressions follow.

A strong blend of Virginias, Orientals, and Perique artfully combined. My first bowl on opening the tin was overpowering . However, after the tin had been opened a short while, I found the blend less overpowering with each bowlful.

I finished my first tin more and more impressed as I went along. I left my second tin open for a half an hour or so after opening, and started in again. As this tobacco is quite moist in the tin, I conclude it improves with a short period of "breathing" and simply letting a little of the moisture escape.

The Orientals are very noticeable over the Virginia base. The quality of the tobaccos used is very high. I conclude this blend, which all of the staff at smokingpipes.com had a hand in, is tinned by C&D. The closest tobacco I have had is GLP's Fillmore, and smokers of that blend and its ilk will enjoy Waccamaw as much as I do.

One final note - for those who regularly order from smokingpipes.com, I am told by the staff that the label depicts their building in Little River, South Carolina.

A fine effort.
