Voodoo Queen

 Marie Labeau was the Voodoo Queen of New Orleans.  I wrote about ordering the tobacco named after her.  I’ve now smoked a few bowls and I can see why it is a top 50 best seller on Smoking Pipes.  I find it has a bit of tongue bite but I tend to smoke my pipes a little hard.  But it is just a bit.  It is described as an English Aromatic

But overall I find it a rather pleasant tobacco.  It comes in long flakes and needs a little work for packing a pipe, but it does have a rather pleasant taste.  Not sure what the aromatic flavoring is, but I would guess either bourbon or whiskey.  It has a kind of smokey flavor.  

I wanted to order some more Old Professor, but found Voodoo Queen above the listing.  I checked out the description and thought it might be worth ten bucks to try it.  My wife hasn’t said anything about the room note.  Not sure she’d like it.  As an Aromatic I can taste some sweetness, but not sure what it is other than what I’ve said.  

The rating on the tobacco is 3.7 out of five with 38 review, which is a good sampling of reviews.  I would say the 3.7 is about right.  My problem with writing tobacco reviews is that most any tobacco is at least a 3.5 rating unless it is absolutely horrid stuff.  I may have had some of the horrid stuff through the years, 

Well, that’s my review of Voodoo Queen.  It’s better than average.  It’s just that Smoking Pipes can’t seem to be able to keep Old Professor in stock.  They sell a lot of it for good reason.  But Voodoo Queen won’t dethrone the Old Professor.  I’m smoking my Dunhill pipe this morning.  My coffee is Mt. Comfort.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.
