    Hi Guys - normally I would just put a link - and let you click on it - but for some reason I can't copy links on my computer - so if you love an amazing Aromatic (and IMHO - this one of the great ones) check out this offer - that Jack Peterson is offering (I got this in my yahoo inbox today - and thought I would share it) $30 bucks for almost a pound of this wonderful blend is a steal:

    Hello Friends of Sterling Tobacco,

    In 1950 a tobacconist by the name of "Doc" Allen began producing the first all Black Cavendish tobacco. He called it Old Dominion. It is still one of my most popular "light aromatics". An unusually mild smoke with a wonderful light aroma, pleasing to you and others.

    Today I'm offering you 14ounces of 1776 Old Dominion at a discount of over 30%. Get 14 ounces of Old Dominion for just $30. This offer is limited to one per customer and is good only until June 31, 2011 so order now by replying to this email special offer.

    To be removed from my email list, reply to this email with the word "remove".

    Thank you all for your continued patronage.

    Here is my review on this blend:

    When someone delcares that their tobaccos are made of the finest tobaccos - one is tempted to think "Yeah, right!" But such might be the case of Jack Peterson's "1776 Old Dominion."
    The tobacco blend is superb. Notes seem to hit it right with notes of vanilla, cream, cinnamon, coffee, and toasted nuts.

    The cinnamon note is more apparent at the start of the bowl - but that slowly disapates as one progresses throught the smoke. The creaminess remains throughout as one is treated to a mild aromatic that is of medium strength.

    Although described as a mild aromatic - the tobacco blend itself lends itself to a lovely medium almost full taste on the palate. And yet afterwards there is no pipe funk left in the bowl or in the mouth. Absolutely no bite whatsoever - So, one does not have to worry about "Godzilla Breath" or ugly halitosis that seems to plague so many pipe tobacco blends out there on the market.

    My only faulting of this blend actually lies in the description - as I wonder if the word cigarette might be something that could turn a lot of potential buyers off. The blend is excellent and whether one is 'transitioning' to pipe from other smokables seems to be a moot point.

    Black as sin and pure heaven in the bowl. This could be another tobaco blend that will become a permanent fixture in my rotation of tobaccos.

    Jack really hit it out of the park on this one.

    Edit: added a link for you... Hope you don't mind. Lawrence

    Very fine review Clanobucklin.
    I love blends based on Dark Cavendish tobaccos.
    I will have to add this one to my "must try" list.
    Thank you.
