Rattray Winter Edition 2015
(3.25)
Rattray's Winter Edition 2015 is a warming blend of black cavendish, Virginias and a little burley. It is flavoured with rich fruity cherry, nutty almond and a delicate dusting of cinnamon. These flavours come together to bring you a comforting, radiant sensation, full of the glow of winter cheer and celebration. You are welcomed into the quaint seasonally designed tin by the aromas of Christmas cake, roasting nuts and spice to look upon the choice tobaccos; an array of deep black, chestnut browns and a tinseling of gold.
Perfectly moist with a texture that evinces quality, this blend fills your pipe and lights with joy. It burns cool and thoroughly giving its voluptuous smoke. The limited edition that surely Santa Claus would enjoy smoking is available now and will keep you snug throughout the colder months of the year.

On opening the tobacco, you get an overwhelming scent of Christmas cake. The tobacco itself is unique from anything else I have smoked and I believe you will either love it or hate it. I myself loved it. If you do not like marzipan, then stay well clear of this tobacco. If on the other hand you do, then this tobacco may be for you. There is an strong taste of marzipan followed by notes of fruit, which creates the flavour of Christmas cake. This is only recommended for those who like full flavoured aromatics, as the taste may be a bit much for some. Personally, I found this to be my best tobacco discovery in a long while.

Been trying to move from cigarettes for a long while...
Many Pipes, and a variety of tobaccos have failed to convince - I've tried them all. Old Gowrie and Larsen No 32 still persuade.
Expecting yet another disappointment, I thought I'd give this one a go!...
Well done me!
Nice Tin - sets the mood.
Open Up, and the aroma captivates. Never mind smoking... You could sit for hours smelling this stuff.
The appearance of the leaf encourages a smile - classy!
Then... The smoke...
Taste and flavour without bite. Easy burning that extends time. Relaxing. The most enjoyable pipeful I have encountered!
Ordering a few more Tins tomorrow!
