Looking For Nostalgic Room Note

[kola]

GLP Gaslight. Oh yeah.

Burley is definitely a chameleon leaf. It can have a room note that is soft and mellow, like with many OTCs, Chatham Manor, Peter Stokkebye Cube Cut, etc. It can also be pretty repellent to non-pipe smokers when treated other ways. Examples being Old Joe Krantz, Haunted Bookshop, etc.

I like OJK, but have not warmed up to Haunted Bookshop yet...

I love ‘em both, but the tin and room notes would probably send many non-smokers or new smokers running for the hills. ?

For sure! My wife leaves the porch if I'm smoking one of those, but she will stay if I'm smoking an English...

HB is my favourite smoke...room note is a beautiful mix of stale urine, cow shit and sweet nuttiness. Fortunately I know nobody else who smokes it so I don’t have to worry about that

I wonder if EGR would have that reminiscent note. My dad remembers the fruity sweet port smell of his grandads smoke

Yeah, Maybe. I forgot about EGR.

I have to say that when I smoke Half and Half it takes me back to my childhood

how many types of burly are there. Must be a lot to get that much variety of profile notes.

It’s not just the leaf but the treatment of it as well. White and dark are the two main types, white having been air cured, dark having been fermented in piles. But then you can get pretty deep into the rabbit hole talking about casings and other post-harvest treatments.

Adding to that the way burley can act as a carrier for the other leaves in a blend

I'm going to agree with all who said Half and Half. Classic smell, great taste.....im going to pack a bowl of it right now

 

[mortonbriar]

The consistent thing I have noticed from bystander comments is that the 'my grandad' comments usually relate to a blend with black cavendish as a component.

For me growing up as a kid in the Scottish Borders it’s the aroma of Condor, St Bruno and Clan. It’s what my late father and many others smoked here in 70’s & 80’s.
Happy puffing

Navigator reminds me of the tobacco my father smoked.............in the 1980s................My father he was driving trucks..........???

Recently picked up some Captain Black Copper, and I find it's hitting all the nostalgia marks for me.

 

[Mr.Pink]

Captain Black. If I smell it, I will imminently stop in my tracks. Brings back memories of My Uncle that passed many years ago.

What does EGR stand for?
