C&D 839: Boker Or Morning Light (Hebraica Series)

[Brewdude]

I've recently had the pleasure of smoking one of the offerings from the Hebracia series - namely Or Olam, courtesy of our own Padre. In fact I've developed a taste for it.

In perusing the review site for feedback on the others in this series, this one stood out for me-



Cornell & Diehl  839: Boker Or Morning Light (Hebraica Series)


An unusual base of light yet rich orientals serves as a backdrop to a real Perique presence, enveloping stoved red Virginias sweetened with a bit of black cavendish. Perfect with a cup of strong coffee or on a morning stroll.

As you might have guessed, it is on my list to try.

 

[Brewdude]

Surely, someone here has had the opportunity to try this?

I would suggest our splitting an order, but by the time we ship, etc. we might as well both order it in the first place.

I bought a half-lb of Milk and Honey (Halav u'Dvash) on sale at mars cigars a few years ago. I think I've gotten through 3 oz, and it's pretty good. I think it's cursed, though, as I've lost two pipes which I dedicated to it, and no others since I've been smoking. I liked them both, too! :evil: 

If you find some fellow smokers close by, splitting shipping costs and bulk discounts is a great thing to do!

I've tried two of the Hebraica series. First I tried the Halav U'Dvash. I loved the list of tobaccos used but I was terribly disappointed. It seemed to be a bit of a confused mess to me. The ingredients just didn't seem to jive with each other. Boker Or on the other hand is much better. The Orientals dominate with the Virginias adding a little sweetness and the Perique is just a supporting player adding a bit of spiciness. Over all I found it to be fairly tasty but nothing mind blowing. It can be a bit cigarettish at times due to the Turkish component but not overly so. I polished off my 8oz. without a problem but there are so many blends out there that I enjoy so much more.

Morning Light is the best of that series. A really nice, gentle yet interesting smoke.

Thanks for the feedback Mr Natural. Have you had the Or Olam, and if so how does it compare?

[Fr_Tom]

Did you ever get any of this?

Not yet Padre, but it's on my bucket list. Perhaps next order.

I bought a pound of it, and I am maybe 3 oz into 4 oz i did not jar. It would not be a problem to send some off to hold you over...

This series has been discontinued by C&D/SP. Marscigars might still have some.

Very kind of you Padre, but I'll have some soon anyway.
