Blender:

J. F. Germain & Son

Tin Description:

The name of this tobacco originates from the early days, when all tobaccos were pressed into cakes before cutting. Four types of Virginia tobaccos are blended with Cavendish and a specially-prepared Black Tobacco. The complete blend is then flavoured in accordance with a 70-year-old formula, to produce a honey-sweet smoking tobacco.

i found this a most unpleasant smoke . it looked like cigarette rolling tobacco ,was very wet and left a wet unpleasant residue at the bottom of the bowl.the taste was unremarkable bordering on the unpleasant . most disappointing .

In my opinion this is not a good blend. The taste is sickly and overwhelming and it left me with a nasty tounge bite. Never again Thankyou.

I found the pleasant looking tin to be the best thing about this blend. It is nothing like Mac Baren's Plumcake (which I enjoy once a year or so)..... This mixture is soggy, very sweet and took awhile to dry out before loading into my pipe. And yes, it did burn a bit hot, even though I tend to smoke aromatics very slowly. Germain is a terrific blender and this Plum Cake may appeal to some. It just did not agree at all with my taste buds.
