Air cured burleys an a variety of Virginias come together in this blackberry treat that features notes of whiskey, sugar, and spice. Â Blackberry Cobbler comes to mind for some… perhaps the kind that would win First Prize at the Neshoba County Fair.

I’ve been working on Blue Ribbon for over a month now. While the berry aromas start out strong and lovely,it fades away rather quickly. The spicier flavors stand out then, but leave a harsh taste in my mouth. Perhaps it’s my technique, though I really try to be gentle with this aromatic.

Recently purchased this blend along with 4 others. Blue Ribbon indeed! Pouch note and taste are almost identical, room note is out of bounds as well! No goopy mess, no bite, burns cool and consistent throughout the process. Not a nicotine bomb but enough to satisfy me. Well done sirs! Best aromatic blend I have smoked in my 30 plus years of piping. Solid 5 with a bullet!!!

I had remembered this one from a pod cast episode , at the time I think it had been suggested the flavoring was blueberry but is now described as blackberry not sure if it got re blended or not , but was recommended as good summertime smoke so I decided to try , there is a berry component of some type for sure and smoked well on a 90 degree afternoon . Likely never be my everyday smoke but good for hot summer days as a change of pace.

Absolutely delicious. I don’t normally smoke aromatics, but I’ll make an exception for Blue Ribbon. No worries about bite, smells like a summer day out of the bag, and perfect moisture. Definitely a winner.

One of my earliest childhood memories is picking blackberries with my grandma and my great grandmother. We used to put sugar on them and eat them, and they made homemade blackberry cobbler and jam. To me there’s nothing better than a hot blackberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream slowly melting over the top of it. I remember my grandpa putting the jam on homemade buttermilk cornbread and eating it with a glass of milk.
This blend is lovely. It has a very pleasant bag and room note. Perfect moisture upon arrival. Smokes easy and smooth, just sit and slowly sip, no relight needed and it doesn’t bite or burn hot.
It’s a perfect summertime aromatic, and it’s one that I would definitely order again.

From the cuff smooth berry aromatic
Great room and tin note. Required no dry time and smoked fairly dry with a 6mm charcoal filter. This is a good go to when Iâm needing a break from savory aromatics.

Nice and dry (even without a filter applied); rich berry scent that mellows to an easy spice. No bite, and smooth velvet mouth-feel. 10/10

Love this one. Itâs not overwhelming like many aromatics and easily could be an all day smoke if aromatics are your thing.
