Watch City's "Terrapin Station" (Bulk by the Ounce)

I had this tobacco with Ahab's Comfort and fell in love with Ahab's Comfort so I haven't had too many chances to try this Terrapin Station. That said I should say it's possible I've downgraded this Terrapin Station and wil provide a much higher rating soon. Its a darn good smoke!

Bold , earthy , very flavorful and easy to smoke !!! Quality all the way !! Plus as a Deadhead pipe smoker just love that I found it !!!

Package note of sweet smoky and sour vegetation. Tobacco is a mix cut of black, dark brown, brown and a little light brown. Moisture content is 0k, most pipe smokers will want to dry it a bit. Burns slow with a few relights. The strength is mild to medium and nic is mild. Flavoring is listed as Sweet/Sugar, but I couldn't detect a topping. Taste is mild to medium and consistent, with notes of floral, tangy smoke, mild fermented sour, spices, orange zest, wood, peaty vegetation, sugar, herbal incense, toast, tart citrus, savory, mildly spicy, mildly sweet, a nutty lemon grassy background note, and a peppery retro. Cavendish is leading with Latakia, Virginia and Burley supporting. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is great.

This tobacco has a bit of vanilla aromatic flavor, which I really don't like. I just really dislike almost all cavendish, so no surprise there. That being said, it's not a bad smoke, and the cavendish is light. I'll be able to power through the bag, but probably won't order again. If you like a mellow cavendish blend, this will probably be great.

New to pipe tobacco and was lamenting the passing of McClelland tobaccos before I had the opportunity to try the Frog Morton series. Ernie sent me a sample of the Terrapin Station along with my order and I was immediately impressed. Thought I would never smoke anything with Latakia, I was wrong, didn’t think I would like anything other than aromatics, wrong again. It is number one in my rotation, with Ernie’s Scottish blend a close second (Fat Bastard). Great stuff from a guy who knows what he doing and likes creating some awesome blends.

Smooth, silky, mild American-type English. Easily a comfortable all-day smoke, or a great switch-off from VAs or burleys.

I'm a new pipe smoker and still exploring different blends. This has by far blown me away and is a new favorite of mine. The 4oz I initially ordered will go very fast!

Terrapin Station, WC’s homage to their late Deep Elem blend, is an English blend for those who aren't sure about Latakia. The Burley, Cavendish and Virginia all bring a great tobacco taste. The Latakia is very much present but not at all over the top. It is blended in the perfect quantity to enhance the smoke but not bash you upside the head with a smoky tree branch. If you don't think you like Latakia or a heavy English blend, you should give this a try.
