Exclusiv Plum & Rum

Plum&Rum is one of the better blends from the house of Exclusiv in that it is not overly cased like some of them. When opening the tin, the aroma of plums and rum really is very delicious and also very natural, not synthetic or overdone at all. The tobacco itself is distinctly light in appearance and is of the ready rubbed variety. It burns well enough but the smoke is rather inconsequential, no real body here! But this is not what this blend is about. It is aimed at the aromatic smoker who likes a light blend with a decent sweetness that is not cloying. I would say there are some orientals in it as well. In all a very easy going smoke but it won't satisfy those looking for a nicotene punch.

This Tobacco has very little flavour and I would not recommend.

I was fooled by the ease of the smoke at first but quickly realised it burns too hot and doesn't give a very good taste or smell.

I tried this one expecting perhaps something analagous to Plumcake. Not so - in more ways than one. The Tobacco itself is uniformly of a light tan colour and has only a mild but pleasant nose from the tin. Upon considered smoking of half the tin I have put it aside as an utterly insipid, flavourless smoke which also, inexplicably, burns my eyes when I smoke it (and I have never had that happen to me before in a lifetime of pipe and cigar smoking!).
