Watch City's "Rouxgaroux" (Bulk by the Ounce)

Great tobacco and excellent service

This blend is top notch. The deep-flavored Virginias are the star and the Perique plays an excellent background role. This is the best Virginia Perique blend I have smoked, no doubt about it. I heard about Watch City from a friend, and by providence checked out the website for the first time days before the Cajun Werewolf was let out of the cage on April 1st. I bought 4 oz. for a first time purchase, some to smoke and some to cellar. I'll buy a pound on Halloween. I tip my hat to the Boston boys for this blend.

Desert island smoke.

A very nice blend consisting of both Roux ribbon and pressed Garoux leaf. The bag smell reminds me of a gothic barnyard full of spicy snails, and meatballs. The flavors are dominated by the Roux (grass, dried fruit, cured meat, okra) with the garoux (plumb, spice, pepper, lychee) mostly in the background, ebbing and flowing like my Irish temper. The Anchovie casing adds some umami and the grape topping reminds me of waking up in jail after drinking far too many Nehis in college. While not everyone will appreciate the addition of real bacon in this blend I find it quite pleasing. Mine came FULL of plume and usually you have to wait years for that. If you like fish and grass and grape and bacon, with hints of animal waste, meatballs, dried rhubarb, and anger, you should probably get a tattoo of Rouxgaroux on your face. Also Birds aren't real. And Epstein didn't kill himself.

Package note of spices, pungent sour and sugared raisins. Tobacco is mostly ribbon cut of dark brown, black and a little light brown. Moisture content is great. Burns moderate with few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild to medium. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium to full and mostly consistent, with notes of tart and tangy dark plums, savory, sugary spices, floral, fermented vinegary sour, peaty vegetation/hay, wood, stewed sweet fruit, mildly spicy, bread, rich earth, a zesty tangy citrus background note, and a peppery retro. Virginias are leading with Perique supporting. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great.

Absolutely stunning blend...perfection in a bowl..peppery...sweet...tangy...Wonderful blend

By far one of the best blends I have had from WCTC! This has been added to my weekly, sometimes daily rotation. So glad this comes back again in April.

While I’m no expert tobacco reviewer, I am thoroughly enjoying this blend. Beautiful leaf, citrusy tart tin note, and a nice pepper note on the retrohale. Glad I grabbed this blend and look forward to getting some age on it. Smokes cool to a fine ash and, to me, is just shy of medium in the vitamin N department.

I love this stuff! Main notes of citrus, raisin, and sour/spice. Lower notes of hay and grass with a Virginia sweetness. Sweet, sour, spicy. Very tasty.
