Hot on the heels of the super-successful, bite-free aromatic, Ole Shenandoah Barrel No. 76, it's time for another round, and this time it's Bootlegged.
Ole Shenandoah Bootlegged holds true to Barrel No. 76's reputation for being a blend you can enjoy all day long., but this time the flavor is taken in a different direction. Instead of the pastry/cookie taste and aroma, Bootlegged adds a subtle dark fruit note. It's still gentle-smoking, lightly sweet and eminently affordable, but the flavor's a bit more pronouonced. If you liked Ole Shenandoah Barrel No. 76, you're going to love Bootlegged.
I bought 2 tins in 2015 and set them aside. I finally opened the first one a few weeks ago. I really enjoy the aroma when I first open the tin. The tobacco packs well in the pipe. It lights easy and stays lit. I have smoked it in a corn cob pipe as well as one of my Brigham pipes. It has been wonderful in each. Sorry to see it us no longer available.

You really need to try this tobacco. This is a perfect blend of tobaccos for those who want a mild flavor with a hint of spirts.

Very nice!
Nov 03, 2019
Smokes very smoothly, no harshness at all, nor is it hot. It also stays lit quite nicely without having to fuss with it much. It smokes cooly in both of my pipes, one a 5 inch the other 7 inch w/out filters. The aroma is very nice too. It may be a little strong for some though, so if you are somewhat concerned about that, smoke it with the door shut to your smoking room or go outside or something. I don't think it would bother non-smokers, but I can smell my pipe after I've set it down (and I leave anything more than a quarter bowl) I can get a whiff of the tobacco throughout the day, as if you had just opened the tin. Still a wonderful smell though, just that it *may* be a little strong for some.
I'll definitely be getting more of this.

A nice aromatic, subtle flavor
Oct 17, 2019
Another experiment in aromatics. Again I’m a English smoker and have been trying aromatics, the Ole Shenandoah brand have surprised me, cooling smoking, no overpowering taste, subtle flavors, no bite. Glad I started with this brand, none have failed to impress me. Burns to a nice ash. Needs to air for 15 minutes before smoking. Nice tin and room note. Best thing it was a great sale price.

Dec 26, 2018
My Dad recently passed away, and I was going through his pipe tobacco stash and found this blend. I carried the tin home and it sat there a while. This morning I finally broke the seal, opened and had a go with it. I must say this is a FINE blended pipe tobacco! The taste is luscious, creamy, slightly fruity, but the tobacco taste comes through all that to make for one really enjoyable smoke. One more thing, it easily stays lit. You should offer this in a 16 oz tub!

What's Not to Like?
Feb 18, 2017
As I've said before, I'm not all that big on aromatics. It took me almost half the tin to decide on this one...but I like it. It's mild, stays lit, doesn't soup up my pipe, smells great and has a pleasant taste that I've yet to pinpoint. What's not to like?

Very pleased with this. As of now, the best aromatic I've had. Many aromatics I've had just taste like sweet air. Not this. Good flavor, fantastic aroma. I'm buying this again.

Not As Great As Put Off
Aug 05, 2016
Going by suggestions that this is a good replacement to Barrel 76 (since it's out of stock), I ordered this instead though I desperately wanted to try 76. Very smooth. No bite. Quite a bit of fruit taste & note which I'm not too crazy about. The smoke is cool... but I won't say as mellow as I thought it would be. The fruitiness is just a bit much in this one. I'll set it aside and come back to it much later to see if it melds & mellows a bit more, but I doubt it will be on the reorder list. Guess I'm a vanilla man for sure.

Like the description says, if you like Barrel No.76, you’ll like Bootlegged. Similar but subtle difference. A nice change up smoke. Mild and tasty.

Ole Shenandoah Bootlegged!!!
Apr 19, 2016
This has to be one of the "BEST" tobacco's I've ever had.
I liked the Stanwell Vinilla, then I tried the Ole Shenandoah 76, but this really "TOPS" both of them! It's my "Go To" smoke. Doesn't matter if it's morning or night! If you haven't tried it, I would suggest that you do!

If you like dark fruit notes, this is for you.
Apr 09, 2016
Bright, fruity and bite free. A step up in aromatic value from their barrel no. 76. I get a black cherry note that seems to hold the entire bowl. This is enjoyable as a dessert tobacco to me, although it could be an all day smoke. Another very good value priced offering from Ole Shenandoah.

was actually pleasantly surprised with this blend. I'm not a huge fan of aromatics but, after trying the #76 I figured I'd give it a whirl. The taste is light and fruity with no bite at all. My wife loves the room note more than anything else I smoke. All in all a good all around aromatic that isn't sickly sweet but does convey the flavor that the smell promised.

God has been busy dipping.....
Dec 16, 2015
I just don't understand it. I just can't I guess. Here I am smoking a bowl and I cannot place what that taste is. Fruit dipped in the love of God and sprinkled with the best humanity has to offer..........?Close but not quite. But a interesting "bootlegged" type taste. Got wonderful compliments from strangers with this and as a whole I think it brought a little cheer to the mundane world of Louisville, Kentucky.

Dark and tasty!
Dec 05, 2015
This stands up very well right next to Barrel No. 76! It has great aroma, no bite, great flavor, and not at all syrupy. As I do with 76, I recommend this blend to anyone searching for an all day aromatic. It pairs well with Barrel Aged Stout or Porter and great with a Belgian Dubbel! #stoutseason365

A pleasant aromatic
Oct 16, 2015
I purchased Bootlegged as a trial sampler with Barrel 76. I had read a lot about Barrel 76, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Gotta say, I liked Bootlegged better. It has a nice fruity aroma and very nice room note. I couldn't really taste the fruit in the smoke, but there was a hint of sweetness to taste and no bite to speak of. To be fair, I don't have the most sophisticated palette for picking out the nuances in the flavor.
In general, I like it a lot, and I have bought additional tins to mix into the rotation. If you like fruity aromatics like Cult Blood Red Moon or Cao Black, this will fit nicely in your rotation. I highly recommend.

Fantastic all day
Oct 05, 2015
I loved the mild, flavorful 76, so I decided to try this one. It's even better. The added fruitiness really enhanced the aroma and taste. Very smooth. Good all day with no bite. Burns easily and completely.
Customer Testimonials
Received a tin as a gift. A dear friend discerned my taste better than I did myself. This is certainly one that will become a 'go-to', anytime blend to enjoy. Very, very nice!!!!
LF of Fort Worth, TX
Great blend. I get a ripe cherry and raspberry in the tin note. The flavour is a sweet fruity taste. The sweetness is not over the top. This is an all day aromatic, easy smoke and a real crowd pleaser. Highly recommended.
JD of Magog, QC
This stuff is awesome. A very pleasing easy going taste that never gets boring. I really like it.
GP of Lake George, NY
One of my new favorites. It has a very pleasant taste and aroma.
WW of Hurlock, MD
This is a good blend if you like the pronounced fruity taste. Just not my cup of tea. Prefer 76.
GB of Oklahoma City, OK
I got this in the IPSD sampler. I am HOOKED! I guess I'm a sucker for sweet n fruity aromatics. It smells amazing in the can and just as amazing when smoked. Smells so good you want to eat it! It also loads and smokes great, very little bite and only if you puff it aggressively, which I admit is hard for me to resist with this one. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
KR of Glen Burnie, MD
It's good if you like fruit punch or bubble gum taste. It's just not my preference.
TB of Baton Rouge, LA
When I received this blend it was with several other tins in a sampler package. It set on the shelf for a few days while I tried other blends. When I finally opened the tin up I was met with pleasing aroma. I set some out and let it dry for about 10 minutes. I proceeded to pack my Nording and light it up. The room note was pleasant and the flavor was pleasing to my taste. After finishing the tin off I went back and ordered several more tins. I give it a 4 out of 5. It does have a bite if smoked to fast, otherwise I definitely recommend it.
KP of alba, TX
A very sweet and appealing tobacco to smoke. No bite either.when I open the tin, the smell reminded me of a fruitcake sweetness. Wife approved !!!
