Well you may not like this tobacco for a couple reasons. First is that its got a bad tongue bite and tastes somewhat strong. I have only smoked a little of it so far, I like it for some reason though. I dont taste the whiskey immediately until I pack down the bowl after puffing for a little while. It does smell decent, but maybe not so pleasant to all people. I really dont know how many others would like it, but I still recommend it.

I ordered some Preacher's Secret from Just for Him, it is what they are calling the Stokkebye Whiskey. Upon opening the bag you get a nice whiskey smell and a top note of licorice. The moisture seemed to be spot on, and it went in the pipe very well. It lit easily and smoked to a fine grey ash. I thought that I was going to really enjoy this blend, but when I first light it up I get a burn in the back of my nose, not from the heat of the pipe, but from the initial burn of the tobacco (I think it is the whiskey). For me it is akin to smoking a very dry cigarette from my teenage years. As the pipe burns it mellows out, and becomes almost nutty. After smoking the 2 oz of this that I got, I can say that it is ok, but I will probably not get it again. It lacks the complexity that I enjoy in other tobaccos, and isn't all that flavorful to my palate. If you enjoy whiskey cased tobaccos that are mild, you may enjoy this.

Tin Aroma: Simply astounding. A wonderful burley/virginia aroma topped with a sweet, mature and rounded malt whisky. I could eat it! Room Note: Much the same as the tin aroma but with an odd 'incensey' type smell which could almost be a hint of latakia, except there is no latakia in it. However, this just adds to it's rich and homely aroma. Marvellous. Packing: As this is a wild or loose cut intermingled with short ribbon, packing was very easy. A little on the dry side but nice and springy. I favour the pinch method which is a doddle with this weed. Lighting: Easy to light with a charring light, firm tamper and relight. Takes the flame well due to it's perfect moisture content. Appearance: Black cavendish mixed with bright to dark leaf gives this blend an attractive, mottled appearance. Smoking: For an aromatic this burns very cool and slow. It smoulders evenly to a fine grey ash with no dottle. The flavour is just superb to the bottom of the bowl, perfectly balancing a mature aged malt whisky taste with high quality tobacco leaf. The burley marries well with the sweet cavendish to create a high quality aromatic that bursts with whisky flavour but not at the expense of the tobacco itself. I found no bite at all and no unpleasant aftertaste. Absolutely no demise on relights. Magnificent. A king amoungst the 'whisky' tobaccos! Incidentally, this review is of P.S.'Highland Whisky'. Pros: A splendid whisky blend that bursts with flavour whilst remaining slow and cool burning. This tobacco certainly takes some beating. Cons: None at all. I can thoroughly recommend this quality aromatic blend.

This, along with Lane's 1Q was one of my early tobacco selecting mishaps. Bland, uneventful stuff. I prefer my Scotch in a glass, as it apparently doesn't do much for cavendish tobacco. Note: Having sampled both, I would agree with aadelma that the Highland Scotch blend is indeed quite a bit better than the one reviewed here.

Decent leaf, decent topping, generally average results. Those with a predilection for liquor-flavored blends should be reasonably happy with this middle-ground aromatic. Not a lot of depth, and not a naturally cool smoke, but no different in those regards from similar blends, and plenty of whiskey flavor. So, nothing new here, but a solid showing for what it is.

I agree with a couple other reviewers here that PS Highland Whiskey is clearly a better blend. I could not find a happy medium for this stuff when it came to long term storage. Too wet, or too dry. When it gets too wet, it develops a musty smell. Too dry, it bites like a rattlesnake on the tongue. At no point could I taste real tobacco, not to mention the gurgle halfway through the bowl. PS Whiskey just not for me.

A friend gave me a sample to try. We are always looking for a good every day smoke that isn't too expensive. He likes it, I don't.

"Well" I tried it. And it made no great impression on me! If I had nothing else to smoke,then & only then I might consider lighting it.This left me with similar memories of B/Riff Whiskey.(NOT GOOD)In it's class-I'll give it a half Star out of 4 Star's.

Most Stokkebye blends, while of excellent quality, are just plain too sweet for me. Whiskey blend was no exception. It reminds me of Iwan Ries & Company's China Black Whiskey in that there is lots of whiskey flavor with very little bite. I did not really enjoy the smoke to a great extent because it was just too flavorful (i.e., cased). If you have a sweet tooth and enjoy quality virginia/burley mixes with lots of added juice, this stuff is for you. It does leave a bit of a wet heel and you'll need extra pipe cleaners for this one!
