This is one of my favorite tobaccos. I needed a few tries to learn how to smoke it slowly and steadily to enjoy it's taste without burning my tongue, but I'm glad I didn't stop trying. I smoke this blend from a medium sized Capitol with balsa wood filter alone or in a group of friends and no one complained about it's aroma yet. If you are a lover of not too aromatised blends then you have to give it a try.

There is a reason why this blend has been around for such along time . Its a very pleasant easy smoking aromatic that deserves more praise than it gets.

I wasn't prepared to be so disappointed. Living in a country that doesn't normally have any good pipe tobacco for sale, and yet rather finding it unexpectedly at some store, I had real high hopes for this baby. Smell: disagreeable. Taste: citrus(y) and flat, rather sour. Behavior: burned well, not too wet and/or dry. I figured its famous, tinned, dates far back.. No. Captain Black regular is a much better smoke. But seriously, I'll confess why I'm so mad at this tobacco. I smoked two bowls and discarded it since but OMG has it left a ghost in my briar that even Father Merrin can't kick out! An acidic citrus ghost that now spoils anything I try after. Not worth it.

Erinmore Mixture… Years ago I tried several tins of their flake version of this blend and found it way to much of a fruity aromatic for my taste at least at that time, but either my beat-up old palliate has changed (again) or this mixture version is very different, because I’m enjoying this stuff. This ribbon cut version seems to burn better (no surprise) and is much smoother across the board. I found no tongue bite and very little Virginia tongue tingle, which for me makes this blend more enjoyable. Overall IMO a very user friendly smoke, with enough tobacco taste to know your smoking real tobacco, not gum-drops. I would recommend this blend to anyone that found the flake version OK, but too aggressive, and for that matter anybody else that enjoys a easy going ARO. from time to time. For that person...3+ Stars.

This is a pretty good blend. I consider myself an English blend man, but as most pipe smokers do, I enjoy a variety every now an then. When I am not smoking an English blend, I enjoy Virginia and vaper blends, and European style aromatics. There is a real difference in my opinion between American Aromatics, and European, aromatics. The latter being more focused on adding to a particular blend of tobaccos rather than attempting to make a tobacco taste or smell like a particular something else. Erinmore mixture is definitely a European style Aro, and a great one at that. Perfect for the smoker who enjoys flavor and finesse, and sometimes wants something light and sweet. The taste of Virginia tobaccos are present throughout the bowl, as is a sort of fruity sweetness. The cavendish adds The tin note reaks of citrusy fruits and maybe vanilla, and the taste resembles that, but much lower key. A very good blend worth trying.

This is another I purchased due to reading so much about it on here. The reviews seemed to be mixed so I thought I'd assuage my curiosity and give it a go. The smell on opening the packet really increased my anticipation, a good waft of currant bun greeted my nostrils as I dived in. The packing and lighting were sensibly easy, so far so good. Once again, the currant bun flavour appeared along with a good hint of citrus, quite nice I thought, especially when hints of pineapple popped up occasionally. Sadly though, there is something rough about this, something I can't quite put my finger on this, something that hits the back of the throat and the roof of the mouth. It's almost like they've made the perfect hot cross bun and garnished it with sandpaper. So there we go nice flavour with more than a hint of rough. I'm not sure if it's a case of it being made with floor sweepings from some good tobaccos or added a very good casing to some bad ones. I think I can understand why a lot of people like this one, there is a good flavour in here. However, for me I can only quote the venerable James May "It's like they came up with the recipe for a perfect shepherds pie and then made it with dog meat!".

If you are looking for an aromatic, but not one of the usual artificial "junk" aroes, try Erinmmore. I was put off by the reviews mentioning a pineapple flavoring, but put it to the test when I found a tin at the local Tinderbox (one of only four left in California, by the way). The pineapple is present, strongly, in the tin note, but not the taste. Burning characteristics are very good for a wet and somewhat sticky tobacco, the flavor is mild, with a medium sweentess and a fruit taste that is present, but again, mild. The flavoring reminds me most of ripe nectarines. The base tobaccos are clearly like other Orlick products, and that is fine by me since I am a fan of their Dunhill offerings. A Dunhill-like boost in the nic department would be appreciated. This is the nicest aro I have tried, but I'll keep hunting for that perfect dessert pipe. And now for something completely different...Grousemoor.

Strange how some of these tobaccos polarize opinion so much. I grabbed some of this stuff from a newsagents, mainly because I hadn't seen it anywhere before. Yes it's wet, I left mine out overnight to dry. It is also very Clan-like in it's fine ribbon cut and I reckon it's best to pack this lighter than you would normally do so. But what an enjoyable smoke, cool, fairly quick burning and a taste that seems to creep and creep. Mid-bowl, I found myself staring contentedly at nothing in particular, thoroughly lost in a fug of smoke, the odd giggle and chuckle spluttering forth as I sat back in my shed and when I left half an hour later, I kinda wobbled across the yard and back into the house. And to really freak the haters out, mix it half and half with Clan...HA HA!! Wonderful...

I think you need to just have a taste for this. I did not. Also, I could not get past the nasty tongue bite this gave me. I smoked the entire tin, hoping it would get better and it caked my pipe...but it did not. Would never buy this again.

I picked up an old tin of this online still full of the old style tobacco when it was still made in Ulster. I was somewhat overwhelmed by the moistness of the blend and the sweet fruity pinapple like notes. under all this was a dark chocolate coffee smell. It filled a bit awkwardly because I presume of the moisture and was a bugger to light and keep lit. The taste was currant bun/pudding like and fruity and not unpleasant but it burnt hot and bit somewhat. It left quite a large wet dottle which angered me as it meant frequent digging out and reaming. I transfered the remaining tobacco to a loose lidded jar to try and dry it out a bit. I succeded. The result was cooler, better lighting and burning smoke, but the currant bun/pudding taste was much deminished leaving only the coffee chocolate notes. The dottle waste was less but still present. Overall not an awful tobacco but nothing great either, too labour intensive and fiddly to be realy enjoyable. I will finish smoking what I have but I'm certainly not about to start panic buying more.

I have to admit I expected a lot more from this blend. Alright I tried it in a Captain Black ghosted pipe which didn't help. I'm such a lazy sod when it comes to pipe cleaning. Realising my error I switched to a virtually new pipe with 9mm filter. Give this blend a fair trial I thought. I certainly gave it a lot of time but I couldn't get anything other than a very subtle, more like faint, aroma of something in the pouch. It's soft to the touch reminding me a little of some of the Robert Lewis' tobaccos. There any similarity ends of course. This blend remains tasteless throughout the smoke and starts getting hot very quickly. Tongue bite, yes. Not a million miles from Ashton's blends in that regard. No saving grace like a nice room note either. Not the vilest I've ever had the misfortune to try but seemingly lacking in any buy again attributes. Maybe the flake is different but I can't say I'd bust a gut to find out. Very disappointing, as I Remember this blend being smoked by old guys in the 70's when I was still on fags and it certainly wasn't odourless and tasteless then. Perhaps that is just looking back with the old rose-tinted glasses on.

Just smoked a bowl of this. No tongue bite, no overwhelming flavours. It's a bit like a nice twiggy campfire. Smells of apricots and raisins in the pouch. I like it, not as sweet as Clan or as Strong as Condor/St Bruno or as flavourless as Gold Block.

This blend reminds me of Stanwell's Melange only a bit weaker. This is not a bad thing for me, I quite enjoy both but can only smoke Melange every once in a while. Erinmore is a nice gentle smoke, something I could smoke all day. Smells nice, lights up well and stays lit, but I think it could bite if puffed heavily. Really pleasant tobacco, if you like aromatics this one is a fine change of pace.

I used to smoke Erinmore Plug for years (40++). Erinmore is no longer available this end of the world so I decided to try the Erinmore Mixture - What a letdown - I found it very mild with a weak taster/flavour. I mixed in some Condor Original and it did the trick - It turned out to be a fine mix. Would I buy Erinmore Mixture again - NO - I would only buy it if I was stuck but I would mix it with some Condor to give it some body.

Smell is the key to this one. It smells great in the pouch, the room note is also quite pleasing. The flavour was a little lacking but all the different flavours can be tasted in it. Interesting little thing. As I smoked it, whenever I'd clear my throat or coughed a little, an aftertaste of some sort of berries was definitely present. Not while smoking for me, only when I cleared my throat. The flavouring while smoking was a little citrusy. I'd buy it again, but not my first choice. Good one to have stashed when the mood fancies it.

Erinmore Mixture is a pleasant aromatic with a kind of 'citrusy' casing. It leaves a really nice room note and having used it in a number of smoking shelters, it wont offend anyone. Another positive with it is having smoked it in several different pipes and several different weather conditions it burns all the way down to the bottom of the bowl without re - lighting. The only downside to it is that it gave me major tongue burn, and I kept wondering how nice it would have been without the flavoring! This may have to do with a developing taste for English tobaccos. In general, a nice blend, but I'm not sure I would buy it again.
