Old Shenandoah Bootlegged review

[Cool Breeze]

Thought I'd open this tin of OS Bootlegged and give it a try.



Name: As you can see on the tin, Shenandoah Bootlegged

Age: New

Blend: Burley, Cavendish, Virginia

Smoked in: MM Huck Finn


This is made by Lane Limited who as you all know are known for their bulk stuff.
The tin note is amazing. Very sweet tobacco smell that is fruity and delicious.
Is a little wet out of the tin, but I decided to go ahead and give it a try as is. I packed it using the swirl method, which I've found works great with ribbon cuts like this.

I was expecting it to be extremely sweet, but it really wasn't. Don't get me wrong, the sweetness was there it just wasn't as prominent as the tin note led me to believe. The vanilla flavor was there and was very good. Basically if you took Lane 1Q and added some fruit flavors this is what you would get.
For me, this is a great thing because I love 1Q.

Even though it was a little on the wet side, it burned fine, only requiring one re-light. No bite at all.

I'm a fan of sweet tobaccos so I enjoyed this very much. The tins are very reasonably priced at only $6.99. You can get a tin of this and a tin of Barrel No. 76 for only $9.99 right now at P&C.

Happy smoking.
