The process by which this tobacco is produced predates Columbus. The Choctaw Indians of (what would later be) Louisiana would make it by pressing Pipe Tobacco in Bags it into hollow logs with a long pole, and securing it with weights. Another “spice” tobacco grown only in St. James Parish, Louisiana.
Leaves little moisture in the bowl, and requires an average number of relights. Has a pleasantly lingering after taste, and lightly stronger room note. Made with tobacco grown in the USA, Good Stuff has a strong following and for a good reason.

GAMBLER pipe tobacco has a variety of flavors that are tasty and come in big quantity bags. This tobacco is made from the finest Virginia, Burley and Oriental tobaccos for a mild, sweet taste. Ohm Blue Pipe tobacco is a popular choice for many pipe smokers today. Not only does it provide a pleasant smoke with its sweet and mellow taste, but it also is a great value for money when compared to other brands of tobacco on the market.
Every last ember sears complete leaving a thick gray ash of its memory. The texture of smoke is decidedly creamy and flowing, manifesting neither harshness nor discomfort on the palate. A generous column of lacy smoke rolls outward producing a room note rendered by a warm inviting aroma of soured earthen spice, dark wood, and some sweet barn-like hay notes. The duration of this essence is marked considerably, yet its presence lacks unyielding forcefulness making Bag End’s fragrance pleasantly tolerable. Despite the presence of the burley, with its sweet/bright Virginias and delicate Turkish and Latakia flavors, Bag End smokes like a milder, somewhat less sophisticated version of Squadron Leader.
