Paul's Pipe Shop Seminole

Seminole is a layered aromatic that Paul's Pipe Shop built by combining several sub-blends. Per the maker's recipe, the shop's Post Office mixture, Green River black cavendish, Brandywine, and Virginia flake are brought together; rum, maple, and amaretto are used as the top dressing. The Post Office component contributes golden Virginia and burley to the blend, while the cavendish component brings moisture and sweetness. Having flake pieces alongside ribbon-cut leaf diversifies the fill's texture and slows the burn. The flavor profile is sweet but not one-dimensional; almond, caramelized syrup, and rum notes come forward in turn.
