Planta Golden Irish Coffee Mixture

I am somewhat surprised by the lack of interest and negative reviews in this tobacco, am I the only fan I wonder?

First off, I gather from other reviews that this tobacco was bought tinned. My purchase was as loose tobacco and I have to say that despite being a newcomer to piping.....and thereby having limited experience.....this particular blend is by far the best of many loose mixtures I have bought thus far.

That said, I could not taste coffee in this mixture (Irish or otherwise) but I could taste chocolate & whisky and as the pipe burned down those flavours developed to such a point that I was a tad disappointed when the smoke was over.....I wanted another straight away!

I certainly found this to be very full flavoured and not lacking in strength as others seemed to find, which leads me to wonder if perhaps the majority of pipers reviewing on this website might be American? I say this simply as from what I have read on several forums is that the American piper has very different tastes to us folk here in Blighty.

All in all a very pleasant smoke & one to which I shall return so thanks to Johnny at Newquay (Cornwall) for suggesting this particular blend.
