Oh… Oh my.
If you’re reading this review… it’s terrible, don’t buy any.
ANYWAY…
4/02/22, I cracked open one of two tins that I purchased – met with two hefty slices of pristine-looking cake and the smell of dark fruits – prunes, dried dates and figs – and a kiss of hay. Not particularly exciting on the tin note, but promising all the same.
This came out of the tin at the PERFECT moisture level and smoked beautifully in a Missouri Meerschaum Devil Anse Acorn – wow, this is divine. Citrus, dark fruits, earth, and warm leather notes all come to mind, with the dominant notes shifting throughout the smoke. Absolutely stellar stuff… I need to order a few more tins to cellar, before it’s all gone… I don’t think I can live without this one.

I received my first tin, opened it up and was hit with what I call the “classic horse poopy scent”. JD calls it earthy/mushroomy. Of course it’s the beautiful scent of perique that I love. It was a little fresh for me so I jarred it and let it sit for a month. Opened the jar and man what a difference. Now I’m getting the spice, the dark fruits…its a really nice tobacco. I cant wait to see how it matures and changes over time. I ordered another tin and jarred it…I dont think its going to last me long, I better order more!!!

This anniversary blend is worthy of Country Squire! What a surprising blend and such a pleasing and rich blend without bite or being too heavy. All the tasting notes described come through at each stage of the smoke. It takes a few lights but that may just be my packing method. I highly recommend this to fans of aromatics as well as fans of other straight blends. Well done folks.

Excellent for vaporizing, didnt enjoy the smoke, but 10/10 for vaporizing. Maybe I smoked it too hot

First smoke today, got two tins and thank you guys for the recommendations this one is a complete winner. Tin note purple/ black plums deep and sweet aroma and the flavor is not cloying to the palette . Moisture content perfect, cake slices crumble easily into manageable consistency to pack my Bulldog Ropp. Lights well and stays lit , room aroma is pleasant . The taste is not too spicy, the perique mixture is pretty near perfect for me, full bodied and creamy smooth. Very easy on the tongue! This was a recommendation from the staff and they were on target, thank you Gentlemen and suggest on….

It is OK. Not up to my expectations of Country Squire tobaccos. Smoked it and it is not what I expected as a VaPer nor what I expect from The Country Squire. I noticed it is made by Sutliff who in my opinion has slipped since being aquired by STG. The flavor is ok, the thick cut slices or cakes are ok, tin note nothing unique. I bought 1 tin and will be happy to smoke. I really wanted this to be a higher rating, however, it is just not there.

Pure magic. While the taste is different, this blend provides an over-all smoking experience that is reminiscent of some Orientals I have enjoyed in the past. To my senses, the tin note has a sourness to it, but that sourness turns to sweetness in the pipe. It leaves you wondering how the CS blenders can work this kind of magic. This blend continues to grow on me and I now crave it in a unique way. It definitely has its hooks in the tobacco lobe of my brain. I smoke it in a Neerup Bent Acorn, and it is a wonderful treat in that pipe. You may find this blend ghosts your pipe somewhat, so you might want to smoke it in a pipe you reserve for spicier blends. My sense is that this blend will get better with age and I have set a side a couple of tins to age for ten years.
