Hmm I think I have the same same blend as described above. Well the tub is similar anyway. There is no cavendish in the brew i have bought from Dan Pipe I am certain.

'How do you know you old fart' ?

You see the colour is uniform light golden brown, and smells well like a good shag virginia, with its bread-like malty smell emanating from this (shocking I know) 160g tin. No cavendish or anything else in here.

Ooooh 160g's wow ! Yup big huh, and its lovely. Glad about that otherwise I'd have one hell of a problem! And even better its only 14 euros! I know ! Couldn't turn that down now could I?

The review idiot.

Ah yes. Beautiful rich toasty smell from tin, containing soft (a wee bit dry) shag, golden-yellow, just waitng to be dived into.

Yeah it's a cheap blend and doesn't taste of much after the first bowl of the day day and burns down suspicously quickly for a pipe tobacco, but what the hell. There is also a hydration issue here. As I've said before I don't rate these tubs the Germans are packing their tobacco in, they don't seem that good at holding any moistness. A very well watered Peublo stone is neede for sure.

If I was on a desert island or in lockdown at home for 3 months this would fill the time nicely


Must have had a premonition or something.
