Watch City's "Fat Bastard" (Bulk by the Ounce)

Package note of sour vegetation, mildly smoky and sugar. Tobacco is a rough cut of dark brown, black and light brown. Moisture content is great. Burns slow with a few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild to medium. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium and mostly/very consistent, with notes of sweet smoky, lemon grassy, savory, fermented vinegary, sugar, toasted bread, spices, tart stewed dark fruit, orange peel/zest, peaty musty vegetation, sour, herbal floral, spicy, a tangy citrus background note, and a peppery retro. Virginia is leading with Cavendish, Oriental/Turkish and Latakia supporting. Perique is supporting from the rear. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great.

This blend advertises itself as a balanced Scottish style mixture, and I would agree. It's nice and smooth, and nothing really dominates. I t is very well behaved in the pipe and does not bite even when pushed. My rating is based mostly on the aftertaste, which I don't really like. Just a little too sour for me.

First time with this blend. I cellared the majorly and smoked 5 bowls. I didn’t get a lot of flavor besides dirt. I hope a year helps it out

Working my way thru trying all of Watch City's blends, I finally got around to ordering Fat Bastard. This blend has everything in it and then some. How in the world this blend turned out so balanced is nothing short of a miracle. Perfect moisture level, burns cool all the way down and the flavor is consistent throughout the smoke.

This is a Scottish blend that has a subtle sweetness and floral notes. The is also a fruity/vegetal quality that flirts with me. It is in the background and is their then gone only to reappear. This is a medium blend and can easily be an all-day smoke. I do get a tiny bit of tickle on the back of the throat from time to time, probably from the perique but it is not unpleasant or annoying. I like this tobacco and have never had other Scottish blends quite like it

No expert, can't find some long lost taste from childhood that I only remember from my first trip to a circus (yeah that old) or something. Just a very nice "light" English would be a good start. There is a good bit going on actually, I just can't really describe it. Very tasty/creamy even, keeps my interested without being a slap upside the head deep/dark English blend that has it's place no doubt (have some of those). I keep going back to this even though my weather has been way too warm for this time of year and I would normally think of a more Virginia based blend in hotter temps. Not sure if I would compare it to another "Scottish" I enjoy (McConnell - Scottish Cake) a bit different. This is very well balanced I guess would be a good description. Like I said, not good at this but I like it. Nice smooth easy smoke with interesting flavors, few relights burns down very well. Smoked in a Savinelli 320 ks, wide bowl seemed to work just great. Just found Watch City in the last few months and haven't purchased a bad blend yet. Very happy camper, good value and Great blends!
