Paul Olsen Curly 44
(3.00)
As soon as you take the lid off the tin and the tobacco comes to view you can see that this tobacco is something quite special. Cut tobaccos from various sources are blended with beautiful curly cut slices the size of a penny piece. The taste is characterized by light Virginia tobaccos and cavendish.

Paul Olsen - Curly 44.
I'm puzzled by the name, rather than getting what I expected, a tin containing a blend that's prominently coins, mine would be a closer match to the name Mixture. Yes, there are a decent amount of coins, but there's also a lot of ribbons (some short, some long, some extremely long), a few slithers of broken flake, and some cube cut pieces; Curly 44? a bit of a misnomer there!
The moisture was good so I could fill and light my first pipe-full imminently from freshly opened the tin. And then, once I had some burning, I thought it was great!
I'm not too sure as to what the added flavouring is; it seems to me to be the kind of taste that would usually come from a Cavendish-heavy blend: slightly sweet with some vanilla qualities. Other than those, I can't particularly identify any other taste aside from the Virginia.
For me, the other merits are: the smoke's quite thick and cool, it bites none, the room-note's pleasant, and as it's a big tin there's plenty of tobacco to enjoy!
I feel this is easily worthy of getting full marks:
Highly recommended.

Just got a tin of this today and i must say its something special for sure Smells nice in the tin and also when lit. I cant really figure out what im tasting but its really nice and stays good all the way through. I dont agree with the overly aromatic review its just a nice all day smoke in my opinion. Edit Having smoked some more bowls of this and in different Pipes i must say this tobaco keeps impressing me and i think i get some of the same taste in this as with Mac baren club blend. So if you like mac baren club blend but want a Little lighter blend of it this is for sure something you should try!
