For ~$22 per pound, I can give this commercial pipe blend (actually manufactured by Cornell & Diehl) my highest praise: it tastes like Virginia and burley! No flavorants. Minimal humectant. Its pH balance is excellent. My only complaint is that it is shredded finer than I would like for a pipe blend.

My only complaint is that it’s not imported in Italy….

Bob, I've been blending 50/50 lemon Virginia and Kentucky burley (raw) from WLT. How does this compare, is it milder?

That is hard to say. The Low Country blend includes some VA red, so I suspect that you might find it smoother (less bite) as well as a bit higher in nicotine. With my home-grown flue-cured and burley, it always varies from one growing season to the next.

I was just passing the time poking around on their site a week ago and saw that and decided to take a chance on a pound. Glad I did. Seemed like something nice to have around when I'm feeling lazy or can't decide what to smoke. It's just like you say.

Something similar is C&D Three Friars. It also contains a token portion of perique.

It currently costs twice as much as the Low Country blend.

I just smoked a bowl of C&D Three Friars, right after a bowl of Low Country Natural Virginia and Burley. The C&D product produced a more copious cloud of smoke, and a wetter pipe. Its humectant bite was evident. I followed this with another bowl of the Low Country product—less smoke, less pipe moisture and no humectant bite. So I would say (as a person who simply does not like what humectants do to pipe tobacco) that the Low Country Natural Virginia and Burley is the better pipe tobacco, and at half the price. One pipe smoker's opinion.
