I just popped a tin of this I’d let age for 5 years, and whoa! It’s got so much going on, and by mid bowl you’re just along for the ride. For such a strong and forward tobacco, there is a pleasant subtle sweetness that creeps in. It’s reminiscent of a smoldering campfire and roasted nuts. No tongue bite or gurgle whatsoever and smooth as silk until the last wisp of smoke. Maybe the time in the can mellowed out the sharp edges. Either way, I’m glad I let it age a while....Read More
Full, cool smoking and similar to the cigar smoking.

I have mostly gone back to cigars and have not smoked my pipes in the warm months. But in winter, I love this blend because it is similar to smoking a cigar. This is the coolest smoking pipe blend I have found.
And, this, it one of the only pipe blends I can smoke any more.
Incredible hybrid experience

I love this blend so much. The cigar leaf brings that weight and volume of smoke I like cigars for, but the sweet and deep muskiness I love from pipe tobacco. Good amount of nicotine thanks to the Burley, perfect latakia seasoning to balance it out. This one's a hit with the pipe buddies too. Great job, this one is in the permanent collection, I'd be bummed to be without it....Read More
a good, well-balanced smoke

I think G.L. Please's Robusto is better if you want a blend with some that taste more like a Maduro wrapped cigar. The Cigar Leaf in this is scarce and just tastes like spicy, natural wrapper cigar leaf. This is a good, well-balanced smoke though. There's nothing gimmicky or fancy about it. Personally, it's one that I always want to have around. Next time I get some, I'll probably blend in some more cigar leaf with it....Read More

This rather tasty English ribbon is comprised of Virginia, Latakia, Burley, and a touch of cigar leaf. Of course, this gives some nice deep aroma’s that include smoke, leather, spices and is a nice blend of very dry an
d fragrant dark ribbons.

I really love the outfront smoke element of this blend. It doesn’t make any apologies for what it is - a strong blend with a strong flavor.

It’s very evocative of a campfire specifically reminds me of how a campfire smells in the winter time when the air is crisp.

Latakia and cigar leaf and Burley rohether all make for just a forest fire in the bowl.

The layers of smoke are mesmerizing because sometimes you can pick out elements and other times they blend into a thick melange of just smoky pudding.

The really funny thing is the smoke itself physically is fairly light and the mouth feel is fairly light, but the flavor is just such a heavyweight. It reminds me of some old Drew Estate cigars I used to smoke called Nica Rustica and KFC’s.

This is a really nice blend. I like it a lot and I plan to order a pound.

My rating: 5

This is the 75th of 101 blends. I am reviewing for this project. Which means we are 3/4 of the way there and the finish line is in sight. I’ve enjoyed this process so far and look forward to the next 26 blends.
