As with the famous Bald Headed Teacher, this is a latakia crossover blend. It is soft, biteless and has a nice roomnote. The whiskey topping is light and adds a touch of flavor. A new Frog worth trying.
I opened this tin as soon as I got my hand on the box and couldn't get my nose out it for a good while! I packed up a bowl and was immediatley greeted with bliss from my pipe! I recommend this Frog to any pipe smoker! Such a great treat, I will be adding several tins to my cellar time progresses. I think I have found a new #1 for my rotation!
Hands down a great smoke! I can't put my finger on the smell yet, but the aftertaste for me has a fennel/black licorice flavor, the smoke smells great as well, it has that whiskey/subtle vanilla aroma. I wish I could say more about the smell and taste, maybe it's too complex for my beginners palate. It's a cool smoke, no relights, no tongue burn, just a good non-aromatic tobacco. My friend who is an aromatic smoker, is finally warming up to it after finishing about 3/4 of the 100g tin. If you're a non-aromatic fan, this is definitely a good one. I'm stocking up on this tobacco for sure. Thanks.
As a new pipe smoker, recently converted from cigarettes, I'm still feeling my way through the zillions of tobaccos available. I have read a lot of tobacco reviews. Frog Morton's Cellar kept popping up, so I decided to give it a try. And boy am I glad I did! I tend to lean towards aromatics like Mac Baren Vanilla Cream. But this Frog Morton's Cellar blows everything away that I have tried thus far! If they sold it in bulk, I'd be all over it lol :))
This tobacco mix looks interesting. Mainly black, some brown and bright tobacco in a mix of wide, medium and fine, very irregularly cut ribbon, heading towards a Wild Cut. The dominant tin notes are fresh, fruity tobacco and sweet Whisk(e)y, reminding me of Drambuie® or Southern Comfort®. I call this one a Flavoured English Mixture, not an Aromatic. Base and body of this blend is definitely (soft) English. A cube of a former Whisky barrel in the tin delivers a Whisky aroma (which I find much more difficult to identify in smoking than in smelling, and I am a Whisky enthusiast), plus a note of wood. FROG MORTON’S CELLAR is a light, easy-going, fruity, tasty and fragrant smoke with a mild aroma range, able to satisfy Scottish, English and Danish pipe smokers. An interesting gate for Aromatic smokers to approach English blends. Good quality tobacco. A short drying time is advised. Good smoking “mechanics†(stuffing, lighting, burning, etc). Consistent taste throughout the bowl. The Whisky flavour is difficult to catch and Latakia is very low but always present. There must be a touch of additional, artificial sweet topping, which I am sensitive for and never appreciate. I favour purely natural tobacco-sweetness and reserved salty tastes. All a matter of individual preferences. For my personal satisfaction, I miss depth and a determined character in this mixture. Disappointing after-taste. I also miss the aromas of campfire, peat and leather in the added Latakia. FMC might be an occasional light smoke for in-between, mainly to satisfy visitors, as this blend is pleasantly fragrant. A very dark roasted, unsweetened coffee is a matching company. A recommendable trial mixture for Aromatic, Danish, Scottish and soft English smokers. Not recommended for hard-core English and English-Oriental smokers (too little Latakia, no peat, no Oriental, no spice).
