It's definitely my favourite aromatic at this point and I doubt I will ever ditch it.
Special Reserve no.8 has an outstanding smell both out of the pack and when being smoked. It's sweet, full of different fruity aromas, as well as honey, nuts, that all come together nicely. The taste reminds me of raisins and grapes, althought there is an interesting, seductive soury note towards the end, which only adds to the amazing experience. The moisture level has never disappointed me with Special Reserve and the tobacco packs nicely and snugly. It also burns well.
Fully recommended, no doubt about it.

I am absolute rookie pipe smoker as I have just started off... Please don't be too harsh on me if I do the review incorrectly...
I have decided to ditch the cigarettes for health (not inhaling, just puffing) and financial reasons (yes I know there is a capital outlay initially, but after that much for affordable than cigarettes)...
Anyway here is my review:
We have a lovely tobacconist in my town and the young man behind the counter is very helpful and knows what he is selling. I bought a few tobaccos and went home to start enjoying my smoking experience. One of the pouches was Amphora Special Reserve No. 8.
I filled my pipe and lit the bowl and started puffing. My first impression was a mild and smooth smoke. (I enjoyed this tobacco with a Jack Daniels on ice)... There was no tongue burn and the taste was not overpowering, although satisfying... I can't exactly explain the flavour but it was almost like a mixture of slight fruity maybe caramel flavour... This would be a wonderful Sunday afternoon or a "now and then" choice..

From cheap tobaccos is probably the best choice. For beginners, the most ideal option. Without unnecessary flavors, very light but creates an amazing fruit atmosphere. last week took a chance taking it from the store shelf and did not regret. But not recommended for long-term smoking because it leaves an ash-like taste after 30 minutes of smoking.
