Reiner Professional
(2.93)
A fine Virginia, burley and black cavendish that is seasoned for weeks in oaken whiskey barrels. Topped with a nut type flavor. A milder blend for the aromatic smoker.

I am slightly amiss at the recent reviews of this fine Aromatic tobacco from Reiner.
I was hesitant to buy a tin after reading the reviews online but I took the chance and picked up a 100 gram tin from my local tobacco shop.
I am glad I did!
Firstly, the tobacco itself has a wonderful fragrant aroma as you open the tin, it is not an overpowering smell but instead a light and wafting hint of what is yet to come. It's moisture was seemingly perfect to me, very well cut and very easy to pack. Upon first light I immediately noticed a sweet and flavorful taste, much like a good Port. It was not overpowering in the least. Very sublime but nonetheless flavorful and "perky". The smoke was a pleasant sensation for my palette as well as my nose. There was absolutely no nicotine "punch", just a very tasteful smoke that kept my interest throughout the bowl.
Surprisingly, unlike some other reports, it yielded no discernible tongue bite to me at all. Yes, I could see that it may produce some biting if you were to keep puffing away and mistreat the overall experience but when enjoyed at a leisurely pace I cannot find any fault at all with the smoothness of this blend.
Something very unique to this aromatic that I was able to discern, was a very subtle change in tone (if you will) as the smoke progressed so did the amount of flavor and body. It was developing some very unique flavoring as the bowl was being drawn, exuding even a slightly malty taste I don't normally experience with an aromatic blend. As I have always enjoyed aromatics. I'm also exploring (and loving) Virginian as well. I find this blend to be a pleasant mid-ground. It allows for a very nice change of pace from SG FVF (which I also adore) without feeling that I'm missing out on any of the nuances that make non aromatics so appealing.
The Room Note was "high grade". At least my wife thinks so. She kept lauding it's praise and said I should really smoke this blend more often because it smelled so good!
Indeed, the more I smoked Reiner Professional, the more I realized that I've found a keeper for my rotation! Subtle yet exciting. Flavorful and aromatic but not overstated. I urge other pipe aficionados to explore this blend with an open mind and I think you too will discover how much of an enjoyable and relaxing smoke it exudes for all concerned. Kudos to Reiner for this absolutely delicious aromatic!

Reiner - Professional.
On appearance it seems to contain a generous quantity of each variety of weed. It benefits from a small airing, it's not soaked in moisture but a few hours in the open make a perfect improvement.
The smoke, once lit, has a pleasant aromatic side. The aromatic's are not, by any means, what I would describe as strong. The term 'soft' springs to mind imminently. At the forefront of the flavour I notice there resides a rich nutty quality, it's really nutty and it's a fabulous addition that works superlatively with the robust tobacco tastes. In fact the Burley's caramel-esc quality next to the nuts makes it almost resemble a Snickers chocolate bar! The nicotine is mild in Professional, it would be good for those who don't smoke for N. All the way through I have found the burn to be good, I haven't had to do many re-lights along the way. The room note is a resplendent one, it has the same quality of nuts that I have enjoyed all the way through. At the end of the pipe the standard of the burn is attested by the fact the the only remnants in my bowl are some light grey ash, no dottle, a clean burn.
Highly recommended.

I really like this blend. The tin note is delicious, and lighting up releases a deep, rich and sweet flavor and aroma that, for me, evokes all the best qualities of a classic aromatic pipe tobacco.
It shares something in common flavor-wise with Solani Tropical Mango Flake, but this is a fuller, more pleasant version with greater dimension.
Highly recommend for those seeking a high quality aromatic that tastes and smells like you always hoped an aromatic would. Smokes very well straight from the tin.

This is an excellent aromatic full of flavours and complexity with a nice roundness. This tobacco produces also the best aroma a pipe can produce. I've had compliments from lots of people, smokers and non-smokers alike. I could hear passers-by strolling down my street wondering what was that wonderful smell. I even had little kids coming to my porch at Halloween telling me that my pipe smelled amazing.

I love this stuff. The casing and/or topping is very subtle. The taste is extremely smooth and mild. It has delicate, sweet quality about it that is difficult to describe. The only criticism I have is that it is packed in a hinged tine that isn't air tight and the celaphane bag isn't sealed so it has to be put into a humidor or air tight jar immediately.

This is well worth the money. Professional Mixture has to be the absolute best Aromatic tobacco for both the smoker and the passerby. I was expecting a let down another european tin. But I was so surpirsed that the flavor was so very full the topping was just right the aroma was that of cotton candy. The Nictoine level was good and the moisture level was dead on. I will definetly add this to my aroamtic roatation. And don't be cheap buy a tin and Try it

I'm very surprised by the other reviews written for this tobacco. I don't know if everyone has fried their taste buds on their bitey fancy schmancy English blends or what? LOL This smelled absolutely amazing in the tin and was very nice in the briar. The room note is very appealing. It was a little moist when I first opened the tin. I had to sit the first bowl out for about an hour to get it to proper moisture content. Packed easily after that and stayed lit with little to no effort. Had a nice nutty, fruity undertone and a nice rich tobacco flavor. It did get a little bitey here and there but it was easily managed. No goop in the bottom of the bowl at the end. The only thing I can say against it is it's very expensive. I still prefer Boswell's Christmas Cookie as my favorite aromatic, but this is very high on the list.
