Smoker's Pride Rum Cured

Gota call it like it is, to much of nothing going on here. Yes the price is nice, and you could mix it up with some half and half, but why bother, thats all I got to say,. Happy jack 1 star, only cause you can keep it as a blend.

Well ive had great luck with most of the smokers pride blends, but this one i wasnt overly impressed with(i guess when your cheap you can strike out from time to time)Upon opening the sack, the pouch aroma was pleasant but very difficult to consider this a rum cured blend, more of a lightly cased burly(which i guess it is, but just not topped with rum)the cut was less than desirable, a real rough cut un-consistant with any other smokers pride blends ive had to date. Upon lighting the aroma was pleasant but not remenicant of rum, more like roasted walnuts and pecans. It took a bit to keep it lit but when it took OHHH man look out this one burns rather fierce and hot. For what i paid i cant be disappointed, i wont buy this particular blend again, but i wont toss it out either. The bag can be well salvaged by blening with a bit of black cavendish, this adds a bit of sweetness and masks the heat a bit, it can also take the edge off those cheap cherry blend you have laying around, id find it difficult to smoke this one on its own unless i had nothing else around to fill the pipe. Its not terrible, but its no show stopper either.

I bought a bag of this out of curiosity, and when I had opened it I was initially disapointed. The way it was cut seemed very "ragged" and uneven, and I got an overwhelming aromoa of (to me) vanilla. After I had smoked a few bowls I was rather surprised. It did not bite, smoked well although I really could not taste any rum flavouring. What I could taste was a mild burley and a hint of a "rum like" taste. There was a slight bitter after taste, but I suspect this may fade in time as it ages.

Overall it isn't that bad, there are no bells or whistles and nothing to get exicted about, but it is a decent (very) mild burley blend. Although I won't rush out to get another bag, I won't bypass it the next time I see it.

Picked up a 12 oz bag of this today for under ten bucks. Since I first discovered the art of blending my own I've found that no matter what a tobacco tastes like out of the container I can always remove most of the flavoring and use it for blending.

This is suppose to be cured rum. After reading some other reviews I have to say I must have gotten an old bag because there was no rum smell nor taste to it in any way for me. All I get is burley and even that is fairly mild, almost like a cigarette tobacco. Those silly plastic bags are not really air tight and likely the flavoring has drifted away over time. Being very dry it burns rather hot but did not bite.

I can say some positive things about this tobacco mixture. It is nearly flavorless which will make it an excellent choice for me in my own experiments. It is not heavily cased like most smokers pride varities and even the plastic bag taste isn't there. It is also very dry. I've had some of their offering that I had to air out for a week before I could even get them to light.

If you are looking for flavor then look elsewhere. If you are looking for a great room note then look elsewhere. If you are looking for a cheap burley to make your own blends or cut some other blend that's too strong then grab a bag. I intend to purchase another couple of bags myself and may even jar up some to see how well it ages.

The product produced by Lane Limited is probably the best rum flavored cavendish you'll find in the bargain tobacco catagory. Real tobacco flavor with just the right amount of rum casing and surprisingly, no bite at all. This stuff is a real treat at about $8.00 for a large 12 ounce bag of it. Available at select drug stores and discount tobacco shops. Also widely available online. I'm very impressed and will smoke this regularly.

I originally bought this bulk to blend with other tobaccos, and smoked some of it (as I always do) before dumping it in the crock to age with the other mixture. A bit drier than other comparable blends, but not bad. Pleasant, a light rum flavor upon exhaling, and overall one I'd buy again, but in the smaller pouch, rather than the 12 ounce bag. A comfortable, relatively smooth bulk, and certainly one which adds its own rum aroma to another blend. I've smoked a lot worse, and a few better blends, so I'd rate it just to the positive side of middle-of-the-road.

I bought this on impulse in a liquor store and having enjoyed another Smokers' Pride product early in my return to piping. I didn't get much flavor from this pouch but it was quite a bit drier than I prefer. Have to put this on the "o.k. for beginners list". Not a bad tobacco, just not much to recommend it.

March 11, 2005: There doesnt seem to be too much difference between this and Lane's Rum & Maple, other than that this blend seems to burn hotter. It also appears to have quite a bit more casing than Rum & Maple. Leaves a pretty good after taste, but there isnt much taste while its burning and it smells nice burning as well. 6/10

I was immediately attracted to the aroma as I literally could smell it from almost a foot away through the bag. The Price was right at only $7.99 for a 12 oz. bag. It was very easy to pack and just as easy to light requiring only one light to get it started. The rum flavoring is mildly noticeable but never overbearing. Actually I was expecting a bit more flavoring, but I cannot complain overall as it has a nice flavor to it without over powering the natural tobacco flavoring. Overall I would recommend this to any flavored tobacco fan, but anyone who prefers rich English blends will not enjoy this as compared to that it is rather mild. I would definitely keep this in my rotation of tobaccos I normally smoke although I tend to keep a good selection of choices on hand at a given time.
