OK - So being from the Isle and an ExPat - I fell for the tin !! Have to say I di not enjoy my first experience. Had an awful time lighting and found it very fluffy to pack. Tin Aroma was pleasant, intial light up was hard work for me and back to cigarette taste.
A light EMP came to mind but lacking any body or character - more of a Squadron Follower and Leader !!
I'll try some more though and report back - I do hope it improves.

A fairly complex smoke. I detected hints of leather, mint and spice. All this playing over a delicate sweetness.
Beautiful in the tin. Flecks of green, brown, tan, gold, black and yellow. Good stuff in all of my English blend pipes.

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.
