Russ' Jet Black

When the weather gets cooler, a lot of people prefer a pipe tobacco that's more robust in flavor. For some, that means breaking out their favorite Latakia or rich Kentucky blends. But most pipe enthusiasts enjoy aromatic, so what do they do when there's frost on the pumpkin? They turn to black Cavendishes. Black Cavendishes are toasted and steamed which allows them to easily take on flavor. In the case of Russ' Jet Black, Green River Burley is toasted until dark and steamed for a minimum of 24 hours. The notes you'll find in Russ' Jet Black are vanilla, some caramel, brown sugar, and dried dark fruit. It has enough flavor to satisfy, has a great aroma, and can easily be an all-day smoke. It also blends nicely with other tobaccos.
