Summary: a pipe adaptation of the popular rolling tobacco, this delivers a piquant medium strength smoke.
Go to a park. Watch the ducks play in the lake. Nod at the lovers under a tree. Walk a few miles among the flowers and grass. What do you smoke for this venture? "Amsterdam" adapts the "Halfzware" style of mixed Virginias and dark-fired Kentucky that shows up in rolling blends like Drum "Gold," but makes it fit for a pipe smoke. Compared to recent pipe smokes of Drum "Gold," this blend is not as sweet or as strong in flavor as one might need with the hotter-burning cigarettes, but instead a mellow mix of bready and sweet Virginias with the spicy smoke of the dark-fired. For slow smokers, this is a great blend that works well outdoors.
