Tin Aroma: Fairly sweet natural aroma with Virginia leaf prominant.
Room note: Very mild general tobacco aroma and virtually unnoticable. Only the slight sweetness makes it stand out as pipe tobacco.
Packing: A ribbon cut which is very easy to pack.
Moisture content: A bit too dry for my liking.
Lighting: Very easy; one charring light, one tamper and a re-light is all that's required. Smoulders well and evenly with minimum maintenance.
Appearance: Quite attractive natural tobacco in ribbon cut form; brights and mediums. Maybe a little one dimensional. Couldn't see or smell any evidence of Latakia or any other leaf; this seems pretty much a straight virginia.
Smoking: Smoked a bit dry and hot. Burned a bit quickly and the taste, although a little sweet was very one dimensional bordering on the dull and boring. Burned very evenly to a light grey ash but tended to bite. Very mild indeed; I couldn't detect the nicotine at all. A little bit straw-like and harsh but not in the same league as Troost! Might benefit from ageing to mellow it a tad. To sum up a so-so straight virginia blend that would bore me rigid after a few bowls.
Pros: Smells OK in the tin and in the room, burns well and is easy to pack and light. Can be pleasantly sweet before decending into blandness.
Cons: Burns a bit hot and tends to bite. The tobacco is a bit too dry in the tin. A little acrid and harsh. Very one dimensional; too mild and bland in the taste department to hold my interest. Pretty boring- I could never finish a whole tin!
Score: Two out of five; some might find this mild mannered (if a little unrefined) mixture a treat but it's not for me.

Let me start by saying that I purchased a 15 year aged tin of this on the vintage market for around fourty dollars through an online retailer.The bigest waste of money ever!What a BORING and FLAVORLESS blend!I had to check the pipe occasionally just to see if their was tobacco actually burning in the bowl!It reminded me of "Half and Half" in a way.Kind of like smoking a "watered flavor" blend. YAWN!One of the worst tobaccos that I've tried since I started smoking a pipe."Simply Awful" is a great description of this blend.... prep
