Do not let the 2 star rating tell all. I did enjoy this tobacco much like I do a 3 star. When it comes to recommenations, only a small portion of pipe smokers would I recommend this tobacco to. It is one of the strongest tobaccos I have ever had, and I like strong tobacco. The distinct floral taste of the Lake District is dominant, along with a spicy nicotine blast. The Whiskey can be tasted throughout as a nice compliment to the natural tobacco taste. It tastes like real whiskey, not candied sweet cavendish phoney whiskey. My only complaint is the window of opportunity to smoke this blend. Freshly sliced discs from the rope - a little too wet with whiskey to burn well. This has such a unique fine taste that I grew impatient having to keep it lit. Allow the rubbed out discs to dry too long, it burns too hot and quickly - not something you want from a powerhouse tobacco like this one. Highly recommended for any smoker who likes to mess with the bull's horns!

A nice, medium brown rope with a good whiskey aroma and some dark-fired tobacco smell. Needs to be cut from the rope with a cigar cutter or VERY sharp knife, then rubbed out. Airing it out for a few minutes doesn't hurt. Best in a small pipe, in a recliner with seat belts. when you light it, there is a blast of dark flavors, and a bigger blast of nicotine. I like it once in a while in a cob, but don't plan on putting it in any more briars, as it leaves a residual aroma and taste in the pipe. An interesting experience, but not one I plan to repeat.
