Deacons Downfall
Dark and mysterious! This exceptional tobacco blend unites intense aromas for true connoisseurs. Rich Latakia lends it a smoky depth, while smooth Black Cavendish and dark-aged Virginias contribute a velvety sweetness. A touch of spicy Perique provides a piquant note, which is rounded off by a pinch of oriental tobaccos with exotic spice. This intense and multifaceted blend unfolds a powerful flavor experience that nevertheless remains smooth and balanced.
Characterisation:
Two Friends Deacons Downfall comes packaged in a small, round tin. This is sealed with both a pull-tab lid and a plastic lid. For longer storage, it's advisable to transfer the opened tobacco to an airtight container. Beneath the wrapper leaf are short, crimped fibers. Light, medium, and dark brown tones are evenly mixed. Two Friends Deacons Downfall has such a well-balanced moisture content that it can be used in the pipe immediately after opening.
Plugging:
The short fibers make packing easier. If you first place the tobacco loosely into the pipe and finish with only gentle pressure at the top, you'll achieve a good filling with Two Friends Deacons Downfall.
Light up:
The Two Friends Deacons Downfall, with its crimped fibers, quickly catches the flame. You only need to lightly smooth the surface with the tamper before lighting it a second time evenly.
Smoking properties:
As befits an English-style blend, robust aromas dominate Two Friends Deacons Downfall. In the rich smoke, ethereal Latakia combines with the spice of Oriental and Perique. Harmoniously integrated, providing a rounded finish, are notes of leather and wood. The other tobaccos are also clearly present. While the Latakia keeps the tobacco cool throughout the smoke, one shouldn't be tempted to overindulge. This leads to unwanted gargling with Two Friends Deacons Downfall. However, if smoked leisurely, the tobacco burns calm, leaving behind only a little condensation and flaky, light-colored ash. Cleaning is therefore not very demanding.
Redolency:
Since the Latakia content of Two Friends Deacon's Downfall is clearly noticeable in the air, it's best to smoke the tobacco outdoors or in the company of like-minded individuals. It could otherwise be too much for those with sensitive noses, and especially for non-smokers.
Conclusion:
The small, round tin of Two Friends Deacons Downfall contains an autumnal-scented blend of curly fibers in various shades of brown. The Latakia, already clearly perceptible in the cold aroma, combines with the spicy Oriental tobacco in the rich smoke. Leather and wood notes round out the flavor. One should therefore appreciate a strong, distinctly English tobacco. For although preparation is straightforward, the intensity of the tobacco demands attention and experience. Only when Two Friends Deacons Downfall is smoked consciously does its full potential unfold. However, this will certainly not be difficult for connoisseurs of English blends.
