Southern Bread

I got this tobacco a few weeks ago and have smoked it a few times. It’s part of McClelland Tobacco’s “Frog Morton” series. If you don’t know what Frog Morton is then have a look here. I have smoked “Frog Morton on the Town” also and will review it on another day. The bayou version however has quickly become my favorite tobacco. It’s a balkan blend with a little bit of louisiana Perique tobacco mixed in – hence the name “on the Bayou”. It makes for a great morning smoke along side a cup of coffee with cream and sugar. The flavors compliment each other perfectly. It seems to be much smoother than the “on the Town” version of the Frog.

Since the start of my foray into tinned tobaccos, I’ve noticed that I enjoy the darker flavors of Balkan, Basma, Latakia, etc. much more than Virginian blends. The Virginians just seem to cigarettish for my taste. Maybe I just haven’t tried the right one yet, but I really do lean more toward the darks and orientals. If that is true of you as well then I think you would really like Frog Morton on the Bayou. Mine smoked a little wet at first, but since the can has been unsealed for a while it is drying out nicely. The smoke is just heavy enough to linger. Most importantly my wife gave it’s smell the nod of approval. She said it smelled better to her than “on the Town” did.
