So we received a sample of Gentleman Jim’s Beard Oil at DR HQ and the duty to give this stuff a test run fell to me since I have the largest beard at DR HQ and I also didn’t currently use any beard oils, so it would be a true test.
I don’t know about everyone else, but my beard is exposed to some serious elements like heat, sweat, dust/dirt, grease, industrial and man-made gases (that was a fart joke) just to name a few. I have also even singed my beard hair with a cigar lighter or 2 when I’ve had a few too many. Honestly I used to only shampoo and condition my beard and that was it, but I have been looking to do some kind of beard oil treatment to take care of my beard more.
So I started a several week test of the beard oil, I applied after I washed and cleaned my beard. I applied about nickel sized puddle of oil in the palm of my hand, and rubbed it into my beard trying to coat my beard with an even film. The more and more I used the oil, the more I noticed my beard hair was softer, less curly, didn’t turn into a huge rats nest as much and was overall more manageable throughout the day. Like I said I had never used a beard oils or products before so this was a huge step forward for me, no more combs with broken teeth or tangles that almost made me cry, it was like a gift from above but it was just really a gift from Spring, Texas.
Gentleman Jim’s Beard Oil is made in the USA and made of all natural oils, the style I had was Texas

Virginias). I was worried that that I wouldn’t like this tobacco based on the smell. Let me tell you something do not ignore this blend because of the smell.
As I packed the first bowl, I used my Peterson XL12 with a P-Lip stem (I rubbed the flake out and then gravity filled the pipe); after it was filled I started with a false light, when I lit the pipe I was greeted with a sweet sugary taste, slightly tangy like a BBQ sauce. I then proceeded and lit the pipe; man I just knew this was going to be a great smoke. The baccy stayed sweet and smoked very cool all the way to the half way point. When I hit the halfway point the flavor profile shifted some and was now a sweet lemony hay taste. To say the least it was glorious. There was some spice from the perique but it was a nice light spice not too hard on the mouth.
My first sip was nice and somewhat surprising. The sniff test boasted this strong peaty scent but the flavor was not its equal. The flavor had just enough peat those even ruffians who don’t care for Islay scotches could feel safe purchasing this beverage and enjoying it. There was virtually no back burn and the flavor was very pleasant. Before I knew what happened, I was staring at an empty glass. Needless to say, I was content with my purchase.
