Its a cold, rainy, misty early evening which suggests an English blend - Maltese Falcon - and an English pipe, a Lane era smooth poker Charatan. Cheers!
They taste natural because there's no toppings, and have minimal casings, especially in V/Oriental. Only the Va. was cased in that one.It was a long day, but lunch time provided a spell to sit by this small tributary of the Elk River right where it enters. This was really clear water and in a sense, it is easy to see how Jack Daniels was drawn to make whiskey in these parts due to abundant clear clean water-Lynchburg is 15 minutes away. There were more Greater Blue Herons in this one place than I've ever seen. Note the one above the trout fishing sign. I was able to try Watch City Cigar Simply Voriental first and American Cut Plug last in an MM General with forever stem. These are remarkable blends and very natural tasting. The Voriental was spicy with tobacco incense like tastes. The American Cut Plug was a full on very tasty burley. I have plans for these tomorrow. The Voriental taste stuck with me in my mustache with some of the American Cut Plug there too, so I was going down the road sniffing it with joy.

I dry it out a bit and enjoy the sugary note added to the tobacco, I let it dry too much once and it got a little sharp, almost bitey. I also pack it a bit lighter than other blends.so I may dry the tobacco a bit, and/or vary how I pack it. It has a lovely tin note and flavor, so I think I'm going to like this blend a lot
