East India Trading Company’s “Officer's Club”

[Mike N]

My goodness, Officer’s Club is a tasty smoke. I’ve been a fan of all aromatics made by The Country Squire, and my go-to is Tombigbee (fka Old Toby.) But my father was a retired Army officer and would take us as kids to the local base’s Officer’s Club and I bought a tin out of nostalgia. Boy, have I been pleasantly surprised. I just reordered a half dozen tins and wish it was sold in bulk. So tasty.

Has anyone else smoked this?

Who makes it?

I believe Gurkha is responsible for that line.

Edit to add: Double checked, yes it is a Gurkha brand. Russ O developed the blend for them and its blend by K. Hansotia & Co, the mother company of Gurkha.

Of the three, I actually found Officer's Club to be the lightest while Cellar Reserve was much bolder, even with the aromatic topping of rum and spices. Word of forewarning to anyone interested in trying them, they make Gawith tin moisture look like the Sahara. They may even have Molte Dolce beat for goopy wetness. Days and days of dry time recommended.

Lol, yes it is a bit moist and goopy in the tin, but flavorful. I just ordered a can of both of the sister blends and can’t wait to try them out. Thx.
