Description

Before Captain Ahab threw his pipe over the side of the Pequod, he smoked this dark rich English flake of 60% latakia balanced out with Turkish, white burley, stoved cavendish, red Virginia and perique. A beautiful Crumble Flake tobacco for those whose white whale is latakia!

    Excellent blend! Full bodied, deep flavor. Latakia is not overpowering, but present throughout the smoke. There is a lot of complexity, and the evolution of the flavors is smooth and not sudden. I have enjoyed this one quite a bit, and will be ordering more.

    A fellow member of a Facebook pipe group, knowing that I was trying to find and try some Butera Pelican, recommended that I try Ahab's Comfort. When the first 4oz order came I just fell in love with the blend and I'm still smitten. It is the only pipe tobacco blend I have ever smoked that consistently provides a variety of exquisite flavor nuances in each bowl. For example, there may be an essence of coconut revealed in one retro-hale then superseded by some other enjoyable sensation I know I have tasted or smelled before, but can't quite put my finger on. The first time I smoked Ahab's Comfort I actually heard myself murmur, "This blend is magical"... and it still is!

    rich, dark and creamy...ultra smooth. This is a very satisfying smoke for any time of day, but works great in the evening with a dram of malt or some navy rum. yaaar

    This must be the finest blend I have tasted in over 20 years of pipe smoking. The taste hits you as soon as you light up, and improves even more after a few minutes I now order this tobacco twice a month to ensure I always have it in stock. This blend will always be in my rotation. I cannot speak highly enough of Ahab's Comfort.

    Ahab's Comfort

    Posted by Lee on Feb 2nd 2021

    As a confirmed pipe smoker suffering from a nasty case of TAD (tobacco acquisition disorder), I smoke everything from Balkans, to Virginias, to English, to Scottish, to, to, to... Similar to what I imagine the evolution of most smokers is, I find that I reach for the purest form of tobacco unencumbered with anything other than unadulterated tobacco. Ahab's Comfort checks that box with conviction. Just as English is my preferred tobacco form, Ahab's has taken top billing as my Go-To smoke in that category. Fantastic stuff!!!

    This blend is a comfort indeed. I don't exactly know how to describe it. It has the smoky incense quality of Quiet Nights, the rich full mouthful of Plum Pudding, and the tangy sweetness of Mississippi River, all rolled into one blend. I know that's not a very descriptive review, but I've never smoked another tobacco that reminded me of so many of my favorites all at once. This is an excellent blend. This is one I'll definitely want to keep in stock.

    This is a well-balanced tobacco that is heavy on the Latakia, but because it is so well balanced it does not smoke like a latakia bomb. It has a chewy mouth feel, with a really nice smoky sweetness to it. While smoking it I also get wood, spice, dried fruit and a sweet nuttiness that is very pleasant. For me, this an end of the day smoke. I will enjoy this after a nice dinner with a Scotch or an aged rum.

    Wow

    This is my favorite blend in my rotation. Not just as far as Watch City, but my favorite blend above all others. While it does boast of 60% Latakia, it is not a Lat bomb. It is so well balanced that the other players come through and give a wonderful smoking experience. My desert island tobacco. A masterpiece.
