Bailey’s Front Porch
Smoking Pipes rated 4.1

Sampled in a MM Missouri Pride.

Typical English blend appearance with even ribbons of hues from tan to black; bag aroma includes notes of leather, saddle soak or mink oil , smoke, hay, a sense of dust. Composition is Virginia, Latakia, Perique, Burley.

I had a bit of trepidation starting back up the reviews with an English, mainly because Jase I just spent a week smoking blends that had heavy Latakia and dark fired components and I was afraid that I may not appreciate any more subtle aspects of a blend - luckily I was wrong.

By now it’s clear I’m an avowed English blend lover and this one kicks off with great notice that it’s a great example of one variant of the genre. It’s soft. Maybe some would call it an aromatic English, sometimes I see the phrase American English. Whatever you want to call it , BFP is a nice full serving of burley and Latakia , with nicely metered dosages of sweet Virginia and spicy Perique deftly applied.

It makes an oily , semi transparent smoke, and it has a nice room note. As I enjoyed a bowl with a glass of Pinot Noir, I tried to determine what image the blend evoked for me - and I settled on a nice walk through the woods on the backside of our property. It’s got a “go for a walk” kinda vibe.

Sometimes English blends leave just the tip of my tounge feeling like it’s spiced - not so much here. It’s judicious in its profile to be a clever little sipper.

My rating : 5

If you like C&D English blends you’re going to like this.

Smooth, spicy, smoky, and mouthwatering goodness. Ordered a sample and ordered 3lbs

(*Update*) This one is continually growing on me. Beginning to love the taste/flavors, mildness, comfort, and enjoyment, and I always find myself reaching for it. So....I've bumped my rating up to 4.5★. And for wanting more, in storage, I put its link onto my "next order" list. (*Original Review*) Hmm...wasn't all that impressed with this. I just opened a jar after it sat for two years. It was kept in a section of storage for blends I didn't care for upon arrival; giving them some time before revisiting. And I am still not overly excited for it. It's between Average and Good for me. So I give it 3.5★ for now, as I'll need more time with it. I mean it is 26°F outside right now...and it is morning. Not quite the "sitting on the porch on those late summer evenings" time as suggested in its description. I smoked this back-to-back with Byzantium, because the two had very similar tin/jar notes. And, at the moment, I prefer Byzantium over this....Read More
