Grouse-Moor

[brownbilliard]

GROUSE-MOOR. Apparently its not written Grousemoor as it appears everywhere else on the web. For a while, I thought it was named after some city in the UK. After getting my first tin today (which looks like it was manufactured in the 80's)I realized Gawith is actually refering to a moor on which grouse are hunted. This is illustrated well by the dogs, gun, dead grouse and landscape on the cover.
The taste of this tobacco reminds me of eating a piece of lemon poppyseed cake while drinking a hot cup of green tea. It's spectacular. What say you?

I can find no fault with your logic, however; The name of the blend is Grousemoor.

I love this stuff too.

Will be on my next TAD order for sure.

On cup o joes site it has the dash in the name in the photo tin. Yes I went to order that fast.

Spot on flavour description brownbilliard. And thanks for something to think about he he he. I love the stuff myself. You could take the scent away and I would still want to smoke it. Gives me a top end sweetness when slowly sipped that knocks my socks off.

 

[markw4mms]

I'm with you there, I love Grousemoor!

 

[ohin3]

Maybe top end was the wrong word to use there. I am slowly sipping a bowl now and it's more of a midrange savoury sweetness that is just lightly sprinkled with something sweet. kind of like powdered sugar atop a pastry. Good god I love this stuff.

I've got a couple of tins in the cellar but haven't tried it yet. I absolutely love G&H's Lakeland style, so I'm looking forward to eventually cracking these open.

I hate aromatics, but Grousemoor is the exception to the rule, most perfectly textured and flavoured smoke.

Sorry to pull away from the thread a little bit, but I noticed on cup o joes there was a limit one per customer thing. Is this just one per order? I would hate to find a tobacco I really like and not be able to get more.

 

[pstlpkr]

Grizzly it's tough to get. I believe it to be a short run tobacco blend.

It has been around for 200 years and a favorite of Latakia smokers.

Some find it difficult to return to their beloved Latakia when they smoke this.

Please read my review of this outstanding smoke... There are some suppliers that hoard it and jack up the price.

But, believe me one tin and you'll be hooked... and will watch for it to come available.

Edit: It can be purchased in bulk.

It's not for everyone. I've tried a tin and some bowls were great, others not so much. But it's high quality leaf and definitely DIFFERENT.
If you're looking for a change, it's worth a try.

 

[papipeguy]

I just finished my tin and now the search begins to replace it. This time I'm ordering 2. A fine blend from an excellent blender.

 

[cortezattic]

A delicate mix floral scents, old lady perfume, and urinal deodorizer cake; with licorice-like flavor that reminds me of

either Sen-sen breath freshner, or C. Howard's Violet gum. ... in a good way, of course. :rofl:

 

[spartan]

I have the after dinner mints made by C.Howard's.
Taste like violet soapy perfumey goodness.
I'm glad to hear you reference the gum because this was what I had in mind when people talk about lakeland blends. Still haven't purchased any but it'll be in my next order for sure.

 

[cortezattic]

All kidding aside, (ya, sure!), I think you'll like it -- at least as a treat or change of pace smoke.

 

[jpberg]

There are very few blends that my system cannot tolerate, Grousemoor is one. I suppose that's good news for the rest of you.

 

[thesmokindragon]

I really enjoy the blend from time to time

 

[maduroman]

it is growing on me...

This is a blend that I just couldn't get in to. When I tried a bowl, there was a sweetness there that reminded me of something, but I couldn't put my finger on it at first. After about halfway through the bowl, I realized what it reminded me of. Back when we first moved to SC, and I started doing warehouse work, I drove a forklift and loaded and unloaded trucks all day. One truck came in with a delivery, and when the driver opened it up, there was a dust that came out that was really sweet smelling. I unloaded our stuff, and I could taste the sweetness in the back of my sinuses. I asked the driver what it was, and he said that it was a flour mixture for a baking plant nearby that made the bread for the McGriddle sandwiches at Mickey D's. That sweetness stayed in my sinuses for days, and made me a little ill. To this day, I can't stand the smell of the McGriddles, and don't want to know what eating one might do to my stomach.
When I tried the Grousemoor, that top end sweetness reminded me of that. Strange, I know, but there you go.
