Warped/C&D Blend - The Haunting

[crawdad]

Just received this in my email from SP

The Haunting - Warped Pipe Tobacco | Smokingpipes.com - https://smokingpipes.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=37de4568d9066e4a3f39d6281&id=40e6c68954&e=9b50d9323a

Any takers? Think I'm going pass.

Got the same email but didn't follow up. What the hell is it?

EDIT: Just read the description. Sounds interesting but I'm in TAD lockdown with few exceptions so I will pass as well.

Virginia and cigar leaf

 

[cortezattic]

IMO a touch of cigar leaf improves a Virginia blend, but a pipe-cigar crossover might be too much of a good thing.

I'm curious about it! Also, after listening to Smokingpipe's interview about this new blend, am I right in thinking this may be a seasonally released offering? Each fall this may roll around? What was your take on it?

 

[burleyboy]

The description sounds interesting, but I do not need another blend that I like and never have a chance to get a tin again.

In addition to that, I consider it weird to market products with adjectives as diabolical, but I might be old fashioned.

 

[drydock]

@burleyboy, I think they're doing 'diabolical' etc. on purpose to tie in with the Halloween season--in the interview at SP.com they did refer specifically to this 'halloween' release, in terms of the season. So they're probably going after a little of the spooky factor.

But again, I kind of took them to indicate this might be a recurring seasonal release? Is that just me or did you guys get that too? Wishful thinking on my part?

 

[burleyboy]

Good explanation, drydock! This did not come to my mind.

If it is a limited release, that is oh so on-brand for Warped, which milks that cow as hard as any cigar maker. They do make some fine cigars (I especially like their regular production La Hacienda, Flor Del Valle and Los Relatos), though. If I am placing an order and it's available, I might snag a tin, but won't be going out of my way.

If I want cigar leaf I’ll scrounge around the bowels of the internet for a few tins or loose ounces of Gawith rope. This is not in my wheelhouse enough for me to jump on.

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

40% cigar leaf content seems like over the top to me.

 

[rogers]

Cigar leaf and no latakia got my attention.Ordered a tin...

 

[scloyd]

What the hell...I ordered two.

 

[cohibajoe]

I tread lightly with "Limited Edition" releases....Marketing and plus when I smoke a Cigar...I will smoke 100% cigar leaf.

 

[canucklehead]

I like smoking chopped up cigars in a pipe, so I might like this blend. I'm surprised no one asked the obvious "will it ghost" question yet...

 

[acidpox]

Hopefully they still have some left when I get around to my next order.

 

[dcon]

I would not mix my cigars with pipe tobacco anymore than I would mix my Irish with Bourbon. Just my taste. Pass.

Between John Patton's cigar based blends and C&D's Billy Budd I'm already pretty good in the cigar leaf dept. I also keep a small jar of Maduro leaf for when the urge to add a pinch to a pipe takes me. Tempting but I'll pass also.

 

[mityahicks]

I'm with acidpox on this one. Not in the market but next order I'll check it out if it's around.

When I smoke a cigar its always either a maduro or a double so reading your idea grabbed my attention. Which flavors from the leaf develop when smoked in a pipe?
