4noggins Bulk WEYBRIDGE

I absolutely love this blend. I'm not a huge burley fan, but in this, it blend really adds a nice touch. The combination of the Virginia, Perique, and Burley is exquisite. All of the tobaccos work together in perfect harmony with textural body, sweetness, and a Perique spice/bite. This is one of my two favorite tobaccos. Well done.

Probably named for the Addison County, VT town, Weybridge is a high quality blend of several brown tone and darker leaves of rough-cut ribbon. If it has any aromatic flavoring, I for one, could not detect it; and it burns cleanly, without gurgle or bite. The delicate sweetness of (what I think is red) Va and a nutlike Burley combine in a full-bodied, chewy smoke seasoned to perfection (meaning not cloyed) by Perique. It produces a lush, almost succulent smoke. Its full body is nicely in balance with medium-to-strong flavor and mild-to-medium strength, creating a smooth smoke that will not fatigue the palate. It is kind of woodsy, ideal for an Autumn stroll in the forest -- or at any other time, reminiscent of one. It has a naturally expansive flavor, so I prefer to use a pipe with a more narrow chamber -- but a deep-bowled pipe -- because it seems to grow richer as it progresses, and you'll want to capitalize on that. This may not be terribly helpful, but to me Weybridge suggests an analogy to various breads, where it is like a hearty rye -- as opposed to plain whites and wheats, or overly assertive pumpernickel ...if that makes any sense. Smoking Weybridge will not distract you from any activities; but it will regale your palate with interesting tastes if you so choose. It belongs on the Vaper lovers' short list.

As of now this is my favorite tobacco. My desert island blend. Sweet, a little nutty, rich. There's never a bite and it is complex enough to always keep me interested.
