The Service Corporation
commissioned a report to argue for the vital importance of the income earned from tobacco bag stringing by many
families in Virginia and North Carolina. The authors of the report solicited and published testimony from agents
who distributed the bags and from local government officials. The bulk of the report contains photographs and
descriptions of women and men who relied on tobacco bag stringing as a supplemental and, in some cases, a primary
source of income. The authors interviewed 147 families, primarily in and around Wilkes and Rockingham Counties,
North Carolina, and Richmond and South Richmond, Virginia. Evidence presented to the Court showed that the United States Marshal Service Fugitive Task Force located Galloway at a local hotel. When the agents arrested Galloway, they saw several plastic bags in plain view.
The smoky, woody, earthy, musty sweet Cyprian latakia is a background player. The strength and nic-hit are just past the center of mild to medium. The taste falls a hair short of the medium mark. Won’t bite or get harsh, but does have a small rough edge here and there. It burns cool and clean at a reasonable pace with a complex and nuanced mildly sweet and sour, savory, and at times, inconsistent taste from top to bottom. Leaves little moisture in the bowl, and requires an average number of relights.
By skillful blending each varietal is afforded proper equity in the effort to achieve tasteful elegance and harmony. Although the dance of the different strains is quite distinguishable in the registration, the choreography Pipe Tobacco if you will, is quite seamless. Furthermore, the baseline Virginia plays out beautifully as it cradles the moving ambience of tones circulating above, supporting transitions that are silky in effect.
The tobacco I have stored seems to be picking up the smell of the rubber gasket. I use the large ones (Quart) Pipe Tobacco in Bags for ageing, and I usually put 8 oz in these. You could fit more with tight packing, but I like them at 8oz.
You can still taste it, but the rest of the smoke is so creamy-smooth that you wouldn’t want to drown it out. My tour didn’t stop at Bag End, but definitely took a different route after the visit. I will certainly be back to the Shire in the future. On the upper and rearmost perimeter of this moving triage of dense flavors the controlled woody, leathered smoky/charcoal annotated presence of Latakia provides the finishing relish.
