시애틀 파이프 클럽 호그스헤드 파이프 담배

The aged Virginia leaf in this blend is something else — it's sweet and tangy without any bite, even on a first light. I packed a bowl after dinner and the room note had my wife asking what smelled so good. The old-school hogshead story behind it makes every smoke feel a little more special.

The tin note is a nice balance of sweet and earthy, but I was a bit surprised by how dry it was right out of the tin. It smokes well after a little humidification, though, and the old Virginia flavors come through smooth.

The tin note is pleasant, but I found the moisture content a bit high straight out of the pouch, needing some dry time. It burns slow once it's going, though the flavor stays mellow rather than complex. A decent smoke for the price, just not the bold Virginia experience I was hoping for.
