Comoy's of London Cornish Mixture

(2.54)
A blend of selected Virginias, quality cavendishes, and a hint of burley. Cinnamon, chocolate and clove give a winter beer taste. On opening the tin you're greeted by an aroma of the raisin and chocolate.

It's hard to decide what the "noble aroma" here is. In the tin it smells like a stout beer; while smoked it has more of a spice, like clove. I find its elusiveness intriguing, and, at the very least, am thankful that this isn't simply the pipe-smoking equivalent of a clove cigarette.

Cornish Mixture has a definite tendency to bite ... in fact, "burn" is the more accurate word. I smoke it exclusively in a calabash for that reason, and if not for the bite would have given it a high recommendation.

I have no idea what the base tobaccos are. There do seem to be at least two, judging by color. The topping is not exactly light, but it's not heavy-handed either.

This might be a good tobacco for someone looking to get into aromatics, since there's a lot more spiciness than sweetness ... almost like a VA/Perique blend. It certainly appeals to this smoker, to the point of really craving it.

A rich, Cavendished Virginia with perhaps some Kentucky or Burley, mid brown in colour, taht comes in a very classy and elegant tin. This is quality tobacco. On opening the tin, you are greeted by a very special and interesting aroma. It reminded me of cinnamon, with a vague clove essence. When you smoke it, you get the same taste, very subdued and not at all offensive (kind of an unsweetened cinnamon roll).

The tobacco is easy to pack and light, and smoke rather cool. It comes in broken flake, and its moisture degree seems to me all right. I would say this is a light aromatic, very tasty and spicy smoke. It is definitely different to any other aromatic I have tried. Yet you still get plenty of tobacco flavour, very refined and temperate.

If you like Cavendished Virginia, medium strength, with a slight spicy aroma, try this one. I would not smoke it constantly, but as a winter smoke I have really come to enjoy it.

Cornish mixture es un aromático difícil de definir en cuanto al.aroma se refiere, esto quizás sea su punto más interesante ya que, más allá de los gustos y preferencias, está es una mezcla con personalidad que no se parece a nada y que recuerda quizás a la vieja escuela. Es una mezcla sumamente especiada dónde no hay ninguna nota que sobresale sino, mas bien, que huele así mismo. El corte es una cinta gruesa con trozos de flake y que se basa en virginias, burley kentuchy. La humedad es la deseable. Quema lento, de intensidad un poco por arriba de la media y sabor pleno. Buen volumen de humo. Nota de habitación alta y un nictic también alto.
Pipe Used: Keywoodie
Age When Smoked: Nuevo
