Scandinavian Tobacco Group - Sail Regular.
A flake which has been broken to the point of being just very coarse ribbons. It's medium brown and the Orientals give a touch of smokiness to the unlit aroma. My pouch's moisture was spot on when I first opened it.
I'd enjoy it a lot more if it was minus the Orientals. Without these it would be simply a honey-sweet, Cavendish Burley and Virginia blend, but the Orientals give the smoke just enough of a sharp herbiness to reduce my enjoyment. Regarding any added flavour, apart from the Cavendish honey note I get none. The burn? OK, it was easily lit, is quite consistent, but becomes way too hot if it's not puffed with the most phlegmatic and tentative technique; show it the slightest bit of alacrity and it will show you what a burnt tongue feels like.
Nicotine: above mild. Room-note: not nice.
Sail Regular? I don't like it. Considering the flavour and mechanics it gets one lonely star:
Not recommended.

This is another example it seems, based on the older positive reviews, of a tobacco that has not made the transition from one manufacturer to another without a drop in quality.
This is a mix of mid to light brown ribbon. The pouch note is of a very attractive casing. This casing is very subtle and complex to my nose. If it came as an aftershave I would wear it.
The tobaccos however are very poor quality, as should be expected from the budget price. The orientals are sour and without aroma. The virginias are harsh and the burleys have no body at all. Something in this tobacco wants to attack my tongue at the sub atomic level. The chemical tongue bite is off the charts.
I have been mixing this stuff to get rid of it. I hate to bin tobacco but there is a good chance that is where it will end up.

This smelled nice in the pouch and that's about it. Way too light for my tastes. Smoked dry and had a good volume of smoke, but there wasn't much substance behind it. Time for this ship to sail into the abyss of vapid tobaccos.
Smoke in peace.

Just got a free sample of this, and was really looking forward to seeing if it was as good as I remembered from back in the seventies. It wasn't. Nothing to write home about here. I won't be buying any, and I'm not sure that I'll even smoke another pipe of it.

This tobacco seems to get better as you approach the bottom of the bowl, but all in all, there's not much in here to focus on.

This smelled heavily of anise to me. I enjoy licorice, so I had high hopes for this dutch blend. When first lit, a cloud of licorice scented smoke filled the air, I guess all the flavor went up there and then. After about two good puffs this tasted plain and boring. I expected the flavor to last until at least halfway down the bowl. I agree with SopwithCamel, in that this is very much in the same league as Skandanavik, I would not buy this again.
