Reiner Blend No.12
(2.67)
A delicious blend bursting with flavour. Cased in rum and topped with vanilla this is a blend dominated by sweet brown cavendish. A well balanced flavour of high quality tobaccos dancing with the aromatics. An ideal choice for any pipe smoker.

Reiner - Blend No. 2.
I wasn't too sure what to smoke this morning, so decided a vanilla/rum aromatic such as this should be perfectly non-offensive.
When I removed the lid I straightaway got a nose-full of its delightful scent, it smells lovely! Although it says on the tin it's made up of Brown Cavendish it appears to contain a tiny amount of Black Cavendish as well. There's also a few larger golden leaf like pieces in there; it's quite charismatic looking.
Regarding the smoke, the added flavouring has a lot more life for the first quarter of a bowl, with the vanilla being the heavier taste. The rum gives some sharpness, but it's less conspicuous, and calms down quickly. The tobaccos' taste nice; obviously, the Cavendish outweighs any Virginia in the blend. On the negative side of things it burns hot, and also bites; this shaves off a few stars.
The room-note's quite nice, and the nicotine's mild.
This would do a lot better if it weren't for the malevolence from tongue bite:
Somewhat recommended.

I'll say this for Reiner, when they make an aromatic blend they load up on the sauce! Blend number 12 is explosive with Vanilla, Chocolate and plum pudding elements according to my palate. The Virginia was evident, but way off in the background and used as a sponge to absorb the added juice. I am sure this one is a huge hit for those who enjoy aromatics (which I do), but not for every aromatic fancier (I'm not). Too much for me.
