| The 1960s meets the 1970s. Scottish Moor is the classic 1960s era American burley blend with a hint of aromatic essence. Buccaneer is the classic 1970s era black cavendish, only far superior to the junk that is packaged in those foil packs that can sit on a convenience store shelf for a decade.
I learned to smoke a pipe from my father and this is the type of tobacco he loved. While I am generally an English smoker, I nevertheless enjoy this type of blend for what it is - pure Americana. This is the type of tobacco that was smoked when pipe smoking was at its absolute zenith.
Try this tobacco if you enjoy taking a trip down memory lane or enjoy classic American blends. If, instead, you are the type that prefers the many (perhaps too many) "small batch" blends that are currently in fashion, then stay away from this blend.
