Hearth & Home Signature Sweet & Smoky

Very good blend with just the right amount of smoky taste

I'm not a fan of Latakia, but I like this one! I'm mostly an aromatics smoker. This blend is great for those who like aromatics but are curious about Latakia. This one is an aromatic in the foreground and smoky in the background. It's good with coffee too.

Good smoke. No overpowering flavors. Perfect for letting the world go.

It has a nice room aroma, but it's a little light on taste. It burns nicely, not too warm but not cool either. Stays lit very nicely. It's a tobacco to have when you just want to have 'something different'...not sweet but slightly better than plain (if that makes sense).

This is a nice blend. Some dark, smoky notes, some sweetness and spice, not too heavy or too light.

As a new pipe smoker, I am pretty happy with this blend. It's mild with some dark and smoky notes, a bit of spice, a bit of sweetness. Overall, it's very nice.

It gave me tongue bite and wasnt very sweet or smoky

Very nice, especially enjoyable when pared with a glass of good whiskey next to a blazing fire.

Great mixture, nice smoky flavour and aroma, the warm essence added to tobacco, is just great, i found a lil bit of butterscotch on the flavour profile, maybe the warm essence is butterscotch.

I found I'm a Latakia fan, but love my aero's as well, so the thought of Sweet Cavendish blended with the smoky latakia seemed like something I needed to try. On first light, the Cavendish pulled out front and I had to do a little searching for the latakia, but 1/3 down the bowl the latakia pulled even and they worked together nicely to the bottom. After the char light I never had to re-light, nor did I have to work the pipe to keep it lit. Very pleasant tobacco, and one I'll enjoy, but exactly as the description says, it is a lighter version of both the Cavendish and latakia. Room note was wonderful, but even though this will be in my cellar, it won't be my daily 'go to'. Can't give it a 5 star (Blackhouse is a 5 star) and certainly rates higher than a middle of the road '3'. Overall, a little disappointed, but Russ is such a master I hold him to pretty high standards, and not everything will be mind-blowing. Nice little tin of tobacco to enjoy and share with friends without giving away your cherished favorites. I'll enjoy this one, and would suggest you give it a try. Good combination and if Latakia scares you away but you know you should try it, this is the one. Very mild introduction to the leaf.
