Tobaccos which taste of campfire or cedar

[Doc Sixstring]

Hello all. Sorry if this has been posted in the past but I'm having a difficult time with my search. I have been looking for pipe/cigar tobaccos that taste of campfire or cedar wood, my two favourite smells. So far my list of possible suspects consists of:

Nightcap
Royal Cajun Dark

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You have probably thought this already, but... anything with a cedar wrap will give you anywhere from some to a lot of cedar flavor.

I hadn't, but I suspected it. How would I go about do this for pipe tobacco? I'm only familiar with cedar wood used in cigar humidors and tubes.

Man, I really gotta start paying attention to WHERE the posts are!
Sorry...Thought this was about cigars :/

A lot of McClelland pipe tobacco has that profile.

Look for "fire-cured" as that should have that campfire flavor. I hate it personally, but others love it.

I thought I read some where people putting pieces of cedar in their mason jars with their tobacco. I just cant remember where

Latakia is campfire to me. So Pirate Kake is tops for lat bombs

I'm primarily a Cigar smoker, and as such, I prefer the taste notes a good cigar has. That being said, in the last month I pulled out the old pipes in an effort to expand my experience and cut back on the HEAVY prices I was paying for my cigars. We all know premium pipe tobacco is pennys to the dollar compared to cigars. So I've been experimenting; And I've been looking for that Cigar like: woodsy, earth, cedar taste I enjoy in my sticks. So far I've discovered McClelland's Dominican Glory Maduro and Drew Estate's Meat Pie to be closest in experience. Enjoy.

Thank you all for the suggestions

I can't pick out the different notes in Latakia yet. it's a little too subtle or complex for my palate. It just tastes like a foreign spice to me. I think I prefer English

also love latakia, the shortcut to mushrooms has a crazy amount of campfire/bbq flavor, the ruins of isengard in that line is less bbq and more campfire imo...both good tobaccos.

brilliant, thanks for the suggestions. having a hell of a time trying to find most of these blends in Canada, though

Mushrooms & Isengard are part of the Middle Earth series sold through justforhim.com
I just ordered a bunch. I'll get you a sample out when they arrive if you'd like!

I'm still learning to distinguish flavors myself, but aroma-wise, Dunhill 965 really gave me a shot of the hickory/bbq/bonfire. I think it's the latakia that people talk about that does it.
