Large (1.5 inch or larger) coins of first quality leaf. Wonderful aroma in pouch. Eulenburg review on taste exactly mirrors my experience. A nice touch is that de la Concha packages in premium, thick poly bags (8oz and 16 oz in canisters). De la Concha is probably better known to cigar smokers than pipe smokers but they have always been a stockist of high quality pipes and pipe tobaccos. I know some of their mixtures such as Pieces of Eight have be offered since at least since the 1970s. This mixture can be compared to Stokkebye Luxury Bullseye Flake; based on appearance, however, probably not a relabeling of that mixture. Four stars based on quality of tobaccos and preparation.

Sliced spun tobacco, top quality. Virginia, perique, a touch of unflavoured cavendish to slow down the Virginia. If you love Wessex`s Brigade Sovereign Curly Cut, because it is just a shade less sweet and a lot easier to smoke than Escudo, you will love this Bull's Eye, which costs only a tiny fraction of the ludicrously overpriced Dunhill De Luxe Navy Rolls. The red virginia is wonderfully toasty, but made safe by the cavendish, which doesn't taste like anything, it's just there to protect your tongue. The perique is very present (yeay!) and real. The coin-like sliced twist, which I barely rub, burns slow and easy. I loved this.
