A&C Petersons - Escudo Navy DeLuxe

[Mister Moo]

A new tin smells powerfully of figs to me; as the tobak dries out it gets a sort of tobacco/barnyard smell - not at all unpleasant. The presentation is always perfection.

I love the way Escudo smokes in a big pipe when it's moderately dry and gently rubbed out - I don't often have great luck with a rolled coin. It's real... Virginia-y. A potential mouthburner it does well to puff slowly. As with many smokes it can get wound up tight near the end of a bowl and offer a final 3x flavor bump. Some say "haybale" taste and I agree - sometimes it is. Hay, I like it.

One of my favorites - never catch me without some. It's like a Ritz cracker,
"know what I mean, Vern?"

I recieved some of this in a Newbie Sampler, enough for a few bowls, it's now on my "Buy" list.

This is definitely one of my favorites being such a novice pipe smoker. Upon first cracking the tin I immediately recognized a mollases type aroma, and it was a nice smell to be greeted with. I have been expirementing with the roll/fold and stuff method the last few bowls. It smokes good both ways so far, although it seems to burn hotter rolled and stuffed than it did rubbed out. Maybe it's just me puffing too much though. I like the hints of the Virginia sweetness that go along with the Perique zing. Thanks to cquon for recommending it, and A-P-A for sending me a tin to try.

A little rubbing helps me out with it, too. I could burn up a pipe with just rolled coins.

I've been getting into vapers recently. I have got to try some of this stuff. My list of stuff to get just keeps on getting bigger.

I LOVE the fig smell of perique.
