P&C now has the H&H Midtown Series in 2 oz. pouches for $4.99. Great news for those who would like to try these blends without buying 14 oz. tubs.
I've been smoking H&H Chatham Manor for a few months now, and I absolutely love it. At first, like many of the reviewers on tobaccoreviews.com, I was getting a lot of chocolate notes in the smoke. I mentioned it here in my discussion of different burley blends. Russ commented in the thread stating that CM is topped only with bourbon and vanilla, and that any chocolate was coming from the burleys.
Anyhow, after having the tub open for some time, there is only a hint of chocolate (as is inherent in most burleys), and the dominant flavor is the burley with the bourbon and vanilla close behind. I did not jar the tobacco, and can only assume that giving it some time to breath caused the subtle change in flavor. It's an excellent smoke and has become my go-to burley recently. Something about it works great for me in this cooler weather. I do expect I'll probably continue to favor Carter Hall in the warmer months as my burley blend, but suffice it to say that I love CM and am happy to know that I can try the rest of the Mid-Town Series in 2 oz. pouches.
