Short Cut To Mushrooms: Like mother's milk but smokier!

     Although this is not a blend I came up with it is one of my favorite of Just For Him's private blends. It was created by former Just For Him tobacconist Bob Schafer and as much as I hate to give the crusty old codger credit for anything... it is a terrific smoke.

     Part of Just For Him's Middle Earth Pipe Weed Series, Short Cut to Mushrooms, is a unique mixture of English and Aromatic tobaccos inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. Perfect for a relaxing evening of reading or a group discussion on literature, music, and women with the lads, it brings an Olde World feel to any occasion involving the gentlemanly art of pipesmoking.

     Rich in flavor this tobacco has a smooth but full-bodied smoke lacking in many English blends. While retaining the unique latakia taste it also incorporates a subtle mushroom flavor and at times has just a hint of sweetness. The smoke itself is thick, creamy and satisfying to the palate making it an excellent after dinner treat.
