Pfeifen Huber Earl Grey Mixture Huber

The lead component by a couple of fractions is the nutty, earthy, woody, burley, which also has a little nutty, earthy, lightly spicy Kentucky in the mix. The grassy, citrusy, earthy Virginias play close to the same level as the burleys. The sugary black cavendish is always obvious as the third star in the blend. In the background is a couple pinches of spicy, plumy perique. The bergamot gives this an “Earl Grey” tea essence as the lead topping. A little orange and citrus chip in, too. I also observe a trace of caramel at times. The toppings dominate, but you’ll still get a little tobacco taste. It starts out strong when you light up, but quickly settles down to medium strength. The taste is a hair more potent. The nic-hit is almost in the center of mild to medium. Won’t bite or get harsh. Burns fairly cool and very clean at a slightly slow pace with a most consistent favor from top to bottom. Leaves little moisture in the bowl. Needs a tad more than an average number of relights, and the after taste pleasantly lingers. Not an all day smoke, but it is repeatable at some point during your smoking day. Two and a half stars.

Because the bar was good I went back. A gentle mixture that tastes like caramel and has delicate scent of bergamot. This ultra-soft blend contains Burley, bright Virginias, black Cavendish, black Virginias, Kentucky and a little Perique. It has a pleasant aroma that fills up the room when you smoke it. Overall, I think it is better than Jubiläumstabak. The small tongue bite at the beginning of the bowl, especially if you smoke it nervously, and being a little over moist are the defects that I spotted.
