Russ' Yule Log

I'm new to pipe smoking, so forgive my ignorance. I got a selection of various tobaccos and was trying the aromatics in a clay, but this is the one I tried in a briar and the first that I really sat back and said "Wow, that's pipe smoking!" Smells kind of woodsy in the bag, and try as I might I couldn't get the campfire/fireplace taste that people were talking about. It reminded me of something that I couldn't place and have never smelled coming from a pipe... then about halfway through the bowl it hit me. Old Bay seasoning. A slightly spicy, smoky, herby combination. Really nice!

I enjoy this tobacco immensely, it smells like fireplace on cold hazy morning. Yum

This is some fantastic stuff, it reminded me of a warm fire and was a very pleasant smoke.

I smoked this blend in a Mark twain Corn Cob. When I first opened the bag, smelled like a campfire. The pleasant smell of fresh wood burning will remind you camping in the outdoors. After dinner I sat back and lit up a large bowl of this pipe tobacco. Simply fantastic. The main flavor is wood, literally the flavor reminds me of the smell you get from a campfire. It tastes fantastic and smells great. If you are someone that enjoys a full smoke with nice woody flavors then this will be a blend for you. It is not a all day blend, and I would best recommend it after dinner. Buy this stuff by the bulk, you wont regret it!

I was just gifted a sample baggie of Yule Log. My first bowl and I really like it. I will be looking for it to come off back-order status. Great smoke. I will be getting more of this.

If christmas had a flavor this would be it!

Excellent mild to medium English blend well suited to someone trying English blends for the first time. I am hopeful this becomes a regular blend at P&C.

My new favorite. This is the shizzle.

I agree with the review that noted a pine aroma and taste. I was looking for a hickory flavor. It is not an unpleasant taste, and I may find myself reordering it.

This has become my new favorite morning blend. It is wonderful for my morning drive into work. I must agree with CR, that I didn't order enough.

I am hoping that this becomes a regular blend and not just a monthly blend. I have cellared a pound already.

Great light latakia blend. This is a wonderful tobacco for someone wanting to explore latakia for the first time. I find that I keep going back to it more often than some of the heavier latakia blends and it has become my go to morning tobacco. This is a blend for all year.

At first I thought didn't like it as the Latakia was so overpowering I couldn't get past it but after letting it sit a while maybe two or three weeks the Latakia mellowed out to reveal a sweet delicious flavor of currents or some kind of sweet tart berry underneath all the smoke. I originally thought I'd ordered too much but now I'm thinking it may not have been enough.

I love this blend, gives a mild hint and aroma of pine, brings back the holidays also this would be good on a spring day.
