"Three Farthing Stone" (Shortcut to Mushrooms tribute)
Three Farthing Stone is an english crossover blend that is both sweet and somehow rich and savory. The inspiration is the old "Shortcut to Mushrooms" blend that is long discontinued. It took over two months and a lot of pipefuls to pick apart the original flavor profile, but it was an all time favorite of mine, so I was detirmined to get this tribute correct. It has virginias, burleys, cavendish, and rich cyprian latakia with a unique sweet top dressing.
Ive now had four pipesfolk that loved the original Shortcut to Mushrooms tell me this nearly IDENTICAL to the original, with many others enjoying it who didnt get a chance to try Shortcut, as it sells out every time I make a batch.

This is a tasty English blend. It's very smooth, has your traditional English flavor, with some added sweetness that makes this an incredible smoke. Comes out of the tin a bit moist, but 15 minutes in the tray before loading did the job. Do yourself a favor and try this blend. This will appeal to English smokers and aro smokers a like.
