Russ' Walking Stick Sale

If your pipe is a constant companion, you don't want anything too heavy that will tire out your taste buds. But that often means puffing on something bland and boring. Some years ago, Russ came up with a blend that was a nice "in-between" tobacco - mellow enough to enjoy any time, but with just enough flavor and sweetness to keep your interest. He only sold it for a little while, but we've decided to bring it back, so say hello again to Russ' Walking Stick.

Russ' Walking Stick is a blend of golden and black Cavendishes with a soft, slightly-sweet top note. You can enjoy this while reading a book, taking a walk, or at any time when you don't want a heavy blend that will distract you. It has just enough flavor to keep your interest. If you're looking for a new all-day blend, this might just be what you want.

This is the aromatic that sets the bar for others. Great Smoke! Wonderful room note, little to no tongue bite. Smooth and enjoyable all day it’s my go to tobacco if I decide to have multiple bowls a day. As far as aromatics go this is one of my favorite.

The superior light cavendish blend.
I would call this gently-enhanced blend of gold and a small amount of black cavendish a ‘light aro.’ I consider such a category to be an essential part of the rotation of any discerning pipesman or woman. At this Russ’ Walking Stick achieves perfection. According to my experience it smokes cool and never harsh, both when freshly moist and when allowed to breath in a Ball jar for a year. It’s topping is subtle and soft, yet possess the authority to remain present with near perfect consistency to the bottom of the bowl. So well it dances with the blend’s tobacco, that Im not sure I’d even know it was there if I wasn’t told, and would take it for an untopped cav blend. Because the tobacco is where it shines. As of yet I have never tasted a cavendish blend that is so free of that great weakness of cavendish both black and gold; the rapid decay from soft, sweet fragrance to burned pencil-shavings and cardboard when pressed even slightly too hot. This blend has an elastic tolerance of heat in relation to taste such that I’ve never smoked. To an extent, (don’t superheat the thing, obviously) you will be greeted instead with a lessened sweetness accompanied with a nutty, even piney edge of complexity, flirting with relation to the flavor released when chewing softly on a fresh pencil, until the smoker chooses to lower the temperature of the burn back to a more reserved mellow sweetness. The holy cavendish grail, beautifying every aspect of the leaf. And she smokes clean, dry and pleasant to the heel, typically before I’ve even noticed the time pass, such is this blend’s excellence. The retrohale produces a similar nosesmell to its mouthsmell. I don’t know how he managed it, but Russ has created a blend that actually does what it’s blurb states, to every letter. So hurry and buy some, lots in fact, so it doesn’t fade away into the aether of lost blends.

Russ' Walking Stick
"Walking Stick" is my "go to" baccy, so far, of the brands I have sampled(but my sampling days are not over). I am enjoying my new hobby very much. I might dump cigarettes entirely! Thanks for handling my orders so well, thus far. Happy Holidays!

I have appreciation for the blend, that is mild and, has a good flavor without bite. I am thankful for mixing my tobacco as, sometimes have needed to stick with a mellow yet, tobacco taste having a slight tickle, inhale.

Nice and smooth smoke but
Nice and smooth smoke but a slight tongue bite. The aroma is not strong and the burn is consistent. Not much relighting.

Woodsy and Easy
The flavor is slightly sweet. The biggest thing you will note is the woodsy tone. Not smokey. Not eathy. Woodsy. Most blends with Golden Cavendish give me tongue-bite, but not this stuff. The wife declares this to NOT be an aromatic, but it is tolerated. I love the cut; packs easily without having to pay a lot of attention. Perfect blend to just grab and go.The ash is fine and jumps out of the pipe.

Russ working overtime 5 star
Another Russ blend made for me, but Russ, get on the stick, you are falling behind again. Cav in the woods is my Champagne, & you doing well on it. Like MR, Walking Stick has A Kinda’ Sweet CLOVE Note (Not really) but is slightly sweet. No real vanilla, maybe in back ground. It has a short-lived, pleasant after taste like CB Round. I look for the natural tobacco flavors to come out with some light flavoring or cask. This is in that realm. I love it enough to feel maybe regular rotation tobacco.

Walking Stick review
Decent tobacco that is smooth and long burning. A little bit of tongue burn and a little too much of an aromatic for my taste. I was searching for a new go to tobacco when I couldn't get Russ's Log Cabin. I'm grateful to be able to get Log Cabin which is my favorite smoke in over 50 years of pipe smoking. The Tax Man Cometh is pretty high on that list,too.

I'd Walk To Get More Of This
The description of Walking Stick is spot on....very slightly sweet top note, without hiding the tobacco flavor very much at all. Just a nice, tobacco-forward taste....won't bite, and stayed lit, right out of the pouch. I tried this on a whim, but I think this will become a regular. Would make a nice, uncomplicated, all-day smoke, and I would recommend it. If you like Carter Hall, then this will feel very comfortable, indeed. No strong pouch note, but the room note won't drive anyone away. It is what it is...just a nice, friendly tobacco. Four stars, because the tobacco taste is sublimated somewhat, but a solid four, and worth trying.

Pleasant tobacco, cool smoking no overbearing aromas like black cavendish. Burns oddly and unevenly, I'll figure it out.

mild & good tasting
Very nice, good taste but mild. I normally smoke a dark cavendish, but this is a good alternative. The description given by P&C is accurate. I plan to buy more.

Flavorful and mild
I just finished my first bowl. I'm very happy I ordered a couple ounces of this! Mild, mellow and even a little sweet. It smoked cool and dry in my new cob. It was a delight and I can see myself having some Russ' Walking Stick part of my daily routine.
