Another offering from my good friend Peterpuffer, Squadron Leader may be the Holy Grail of pipe Tobacco [if you enjoy English blends].
The cut is a fairly coarse so it?s well suited for ?breezy day? smoking. Although there?s absolutely no need to rub it out or otherwise molest it for an even-burning indoor smoke.
IMHO, the S.L is reminiscent of a Balkan blend... yet mild. Shortly into the bowl, the blend yields to a Turkish pallet of flavors fond to those who favor the Balkan blends. However, the overall mildness allows a slight hue of the Virginia?s natural sweetness to present an almost ?woodsy? tone.
S.L. goes extremely well with Pusser?s British Navy Rum [or if you?re Peterpuffer ? Bombay Gin].
Room aroma... bugger off _sshole! The only people who can appreciate room aroma is... everyone but the Pipe Smoker. And frankly, I don?t give a sh_t how it smells to you. Pouch aroma... it smells like tobacco J_rkoff!
Once again, if you enjoy English blends than Squadron Leader is a must. If you don?t, than you deserve to have your pipe b_tch slapped out of your mouth.
And to our friends at Samuel Gawith... you are forgiven for that abomination known as Grouse-Moor.
