 Two of my favorite authors are CS Lewis and JRR Tolkein and they famously smoked Three Nuns. Plus I bought it around the same time I got a brand new Danish (American) Pipe . So I wanted like hell to like this, but wow - not my thing. It's full minus one pipe load :-) IM me your address and it's your's. Merry Christmas! |

Actually I got this confused with Ten Russians Three nuns, ten russians, my poor brain The latter is hardcore latakia. So I've never smoked this due to thinking they were one and the same. I'll have to try some now due to being a Tolkien/Lewis nerd. I'm curious as to what it is that you didn't like about it now either. |

If Three Nuns is not your thing, you might like more Latakia forward blends. Three Nuns is an example of the Navy Flake, pressed Virginia/Burley tobacco cut into coins and usually flavored or cased with rum. The English or Balkan blends with Latakia, Cavendish, Orientals offer a less heady flavor, and more of an earthy leathery taste. I personally prefer the English/Balkan blends as a regular smoke, but on occasion will go on a Virginia forward tobacco kick. I would recommend Hearth and Home's "Magnum" or "Black House" to start if you haven't tried. |
