Warning! I can't taste flavors like others, so don't rely on my reviews.
Rougaroux: The Rouxgaroux! The Cajun Werewolf. It prowls the sugar cane fields outside New Orleans looking for it's next victim.
Watch City's "Rouxgaroux" is based upon a bed of our "Simply Red" and a Matured Red Virginia. Rouxgaroux is an indulgent melange of flavors of stewed fig and plum. spiced with a generous amount of Perique along with some stoved Virginia and a bit of Bright Virginia for a unique floral note that drifts in and out through the bowl.
The first bowl, a few days ago was stronger than I prefer, but the second bowl today was much better. I enjoyed this blend, because I could catch different flavors. Actually it was very enjoyable. The weather station said it was 25 degrees and dropping shortly. I rarely retreat my unheated, but insulated garage at 7:00 am, but the temperature is going to drop soon and I had already cleared the snow off my wife vehicle and then cleared my daughter's car.
********
Old Dominion: Old Dominion is a simple yet complex tasting "Crumble Flake" (A mixture of cut leaf with some whole leaf added, pressed and sliced thick) of red, matured and bright Virginia varieties with a dose of Perique. Pressed for two weeks to bring out the natural sweetness.
I enjoyed this flake. It certainly fit into my strength standard, ie not too strong. I am attracted to Vapers. I need to try this blend in one of my cobs from Old Dominion Pipes. This will be in my rotation often.
********
Stubb's Pipe: In Moby Dick, The Pequod's second mate, Stubb, is a pipe-smoking Cape-Cod man, good tempered and "neither craven or valiant." A perfect description for this blend of our Crumb Cut Burley, light, sweet Carolina Flake, and just a touch of Virginia and Green River black. A very light unique aromatic is used and carried by a small measure of ship's rum. Delicious, cool, naturally fragrant and mild.
This is my favorite. I could taste the sweetness. It is a light aromatic, but I could also enjoy the tobacco flavors.
