More Details |
Ashton Artisan’s pipe tobacco is a true Latakia connoisseur's blend. It features one of the most enjoyed of all tobaccos- exquisite Cyprian Latakia. Artisan’s blend is completed by the addition of premium Virginias and choice Orientals. The finishing touch on this pipe tobacco is a bit of Louisiana Perique for rich body and a deeply sweet note and a hint of spice. Ashton Artisan’s blend is a must-try of Ashton pipe tobaccos for those who enjoy a sweet aromatic smoke.
I am new to the Latakia blends. This smoke is wonderful and goes well at night with a fine single malt scotch. My first taste of an Ashton product. The only way Ashton can make this better is with a biscuits and gravy topping!
Ashton's Artisans Blend is a Latakia Bomb with little else going for it. Some times I smoke it & it gets complex near the end. At other times it's Smokey Latakia all the way through. Do you have an aged Frog Morton on the Bayou in your cellar? If so mix Ashton's Artisan Blend 50/50 with your mild bland aged Frog Morton on the Bayou. Artisan brings out the Latakia flavor that the FMOTB has lost and the Froggy Unleashes the Perique that the Artisan claims it has. Your left with a nice come back kid. Smokey & Spicy. Frog Morton Visits Deutschland.
I got this blend as part of a pipe kit. Wow. I am learning about English style blends. This has a rich heavy smoke with a little sweetness that comes to me after I taste a puff. As in the latakia goes away and then the sweet comes. Very mild sweet with a slight fruity flower quality I never have gotten before. The flavor is big. Can be heavy on the nicotine. Go easy if you can help yourself
