There is a difference between shag cut pipe tobacco and cigarette tobacco . The Penny Farthing cut is so fine that it is difficult to smoke in a pipe . Such a cut in a pipe burns fast and burns hot . The tin note and composition of the blend is promising with its Virginia- perique- combination but any flavor that might have been captured seems lost due to the burn . I found that it caused tongue bite and a really hot feeling in the mouth . I know that Greg Pease is a serious blender who strives for quality but I think that this one got away from him .

The tin I opened was form the first batch produced. I was very disappointed to discover the tobacco was dry as bone, without any discernable tin note. Lighting up and afterward it was clear that things would not work. Despite being a shag cut and being dry as bone, there was no way I could keep it lit. When it also turned out the tobacco was flat in taste, I did not bother any further. If you are seeking a decent Shag Cut, look for some of the G & H offerings instead.
