John Patton Bulk: DARK HORSE

I needed something a little gnarly and strong, a man's smoke. Digging through my cellar, I knew I had one choice: crack open that bag. It's not my favorite JP blend, but it gives that bitter, deep body Burley kick I needed. Would pair well with any stiff drink. Moisture perfect after 4 years. More complex than one night imagine, your can smoke it all kinds of ways and it grows on you. This will be my last / oldest bag before a reorder. You know those days when your just need two fingers of something good in a glass? It's the pipe tobacco equivalent. Will put more hair on your chest than TRT.
Praise The Lord.

I think if you love a VaPer with a touch of cigar leaf - this one is for me. Has a nice sweet complexity that isn't overly cigar like in taste.

I am a veteran cigar smoker and have not been able to get into pipes. With Winter upon me and a kid in the house I have found I don't have anywhere to smoke, and even when I find a spot I don't have the time for a full cigar. I have tried a pipe before, with an assortment of tobaccos, and it has never scratched the itch or peaked my interest. On a whim I picked this up due to the cigar leaf... I dusted off my Nording pipe and tried it out. MAN AM I GLAD I DID. I have not even looked at my cigar humidor in about 2 weeks, and have been smoking this daily. It is great. I am currently waiting on some storage jars so I can try out a few of his other flavors. Storm Front is next on my list!

I can't stop smoking this stuff! Phenomenal blend as usual by John.

Dark Horse had me repacking all day. I enjoyed the deepness of this blend without the latika. It loses a star due to the cut, lots of shake in the bag when I got it. If this was a more dense ribbon, it'll be spot on.
