Frenchy's Sunzabitches is a robust blend of sweet Virginias, bold, dark Burley, lots of tangy Perique and a bit of unflavored black Cavendish. To add to the complexity and to give the blend a pleasant room note, a splash of Bourbon is added. This long-time favorite among Hearth & Home customers is hearty enough to be the perfect after dinner blend.
The complexity of this didn't really show up until my third smoke. It's a little rough, but I think that's one of its good points, kind of livening up the flavors in the same way a little heat makes fudge taste even better. Nice touches of sassafras, clove, anise, and pecan. Needs relighting, though, in any of my pipes. A good nice mid-day picker-upper.

One of the few blends I've ordered twice

This blend comes in a coarse cut that packs easily. The burley adds great body to the smoke, and the perique comes through with fruity apple like notes. Beware, this blend bites, and has the potential to bite quite a lot unless smoked slowly. There also seems to be a slight inconsistency in the amount of casing applied. I think the first batch I had had a bit too much, leading to a tin note strangely reminiscent of sour apple bubble gum, but the second batch was perfect. The labeling of this blend is a bit misleading, as it is clearly labeled as nonaromatic, but clearly states in the description that it is in fact topped, and lists the ingredients as Burley, Virginia's and Perique, but clearly also contains pinch of cavendish (as mentioned in the long form description, but not the short).
I would compare this blend more to an American Semiaromatic than I would a straight VaPer, however, it derives the vast majority of it's flavors from the condiment tobaccos. It's different to be sure, and worth a try for an experienced pipe smoker.

Big bold VaPer flavor. Nice and spicy. Can be a little bit bitey so you have to sip it slow, but the flavor is well worth the effort.

Every so often you find a blend that just "IS" !
This is one of those. Mellow, great tasting and a very light room.
I still blend my own blend, but You can enjoy "Frenchy's Sunzabiches" all day long.

Very different

Never tasted anything like it and I love it. Those light yellow leaves are wonderful. Also mixed it into another blend that was bland and it made it wonderful.

And that's a good thing. Really like the cut of the large, thin leaves. Smooth and nice tasting.

This tobacco is outstanding and I love the name...I flavored some of it with a bit of Jack Daniels...that was a treat as well.
I will soon order more

I could only smoke half a bowl, because the tobacco arrived too dry. It had the moisture of pencil shavings. The half bowl I smoked tasted really good, I'll rehydrate and try again.

This is nice. As a former National Level Beer Judge (Acetomenophen clobbered my liver), I can tell you the aroma is exactly that of a fermenting ale. Damn good smoke, but that can aroma brings back some wonderful memories.

This stuff is wonderful! What a flavor! A very satisfying smoke after a meal or any other time. I am really impressed with this blend and will be stocking more soon.

When I first opened the bag, I was unsure about this one; the cut is a fairly thick sort of cross cut and I wondered how well that would burn and the pouch note was a little tangy. It was great though - only had to relight once for a 2 hour smoke (I used a big pipe)! The flavor is wonderful, nice and spicey especially through the nose. It's not as strong as I expected from the description but there's enough there to know you're smoking something substantial. I'll reorder when I'm low!

A pleasing smokeing experience. It is working its way into my daily routine
