ThePipeRoom.com King Arthur Blend

This King Arthur Blend is Awesome! When I smoked my fist bowl, I new I was going to like this tobacco! This aromatic produces a very pleasant room note and the taste is the same from top to the bottom of the bowl! I purchased my king Arthur Blend from The Pipe Room . Com. I did not find the tobacco to be too moist, I fired up my pipe "One Time" and smoked it to the bottom! I found the Strength to be Mild and the flavor to be intoxicating! This is a tobacco that should be smoked at a time when you really want to enjoy a Quality Aromatic Blend! This tobacco is one of my favorites and now is one of my top Ten!

I picked up a pouch of this after reading some good reviews here and it was a great purchase! King Arthur blend, as it seems to be called now, has a great pouch smell, a great room note, and a wonderfully subtle flavor. At first I didn't catch the berry flavor, but after a little while it came through and was very enjoyable. It is also quick to light and smokes easily. Sometimes I don't even dry it out beforehand and it still takes to flame very easily. This is my favorite tobacco blend that I have tried thus far!

Let me start by saying, what a fabulous blend! Aroma both lit and unlit is pleasant. The blackberry is there, the earthiness, as it is described, is there as well. Even some tobacco taste comes through once in a while from the VA ribbons. Produces absurd smoke clouds as all TPR blends do, I suspect unnaturally. It may bite if abused, i usually do let it dry out a bit. Comes in a durable pouch but it's best to mason jar it; the toppings/dressings is fragile and degrades quickly. Good quality aromatic.

This is the best aromatic I've ever smoked. Not to heavy on the topping, but a great flavor. Produces a lot of smoke-- great for blowing rings-- but has an incredible room note. If you want a great aromatic, this is your brand. I haven't smoked anything better yet.

Really enjoyed this, now marketed as "King Arthur". The casing was light enough to let the tobacco flavor through, strong enough to add nice flavor and a pleasant room note. No "perfume" feeling in my mouth after a full bowl. Vanilla and Raspberry flavors predominated, which seems to be a Pipe Room specialty. The underlying mix of Tobacco was smooth and complimented the casing nicely. Not as strongly cased as "Enchanted Forest", but still huge volumes of smoke to blow rings with. I could literally blow a ring inside a ring inside a ring.

The burn was cool, no bite, not spicy, and didn't leave me tasting it 3 hours later. As with all of the Pipe Room's offerings, overly damp upon first opening, so 20 minutes air out helps immensely. I'm not a big lover of aromatics, but this is one I'll keep going back to.

If I had any complaint it would be that after a while the flavor gets a little old as there isn't much change from the top of the bowl to the bottom, and the casing gets a little strong towards the end. This tobacco loves a smaller bowl. Smoked in a Corn Cob first, the flavor was allowed to come through and the small bowl left me wanting more. Smoked in a Peterson 120 later, it was a bit more muted, and by the end of the bowl I was kinda glad it was over.

Funnily enough the one Tobacco the Pipe Room doesn't pimp with a grand description is probably the most deserving of it. Very nice, well balanced, smooth, and tasty.

I am fairly new smoker, less than a year and I must say that this is one of the best aromatics I have had. The other being Delf from the same company. If you like aromatics, you should definatly try this one.

King Arthur Blend:

The piperoom has a winner here. It's not their most popular blend by accident.

Yes, it is a fruity aromatic as it claims to be and lives up to it's calling. The vanilla and raspberry come through but not in an overbearing way. The cavendish makes for a nice cool, even smoke that have I haven't been able to make bite yet.

There is a mild tobacco taste if you look for it and desire that aspect, but again, its billed as a fruity aromatic and it simply is that.

80% aromatic aroma, 20% tobacco taste.

Dry this one quite a bit before smoking. The high moisture content can make this one burn a little hot and wet at first upon arrival. However, it was still a pleasant experience even before I figured out it needed drying.

Again, never a bite and every one of my non-smoking friends rave about the room aroma - they love it and so do I. Clear raspberry notes with vanilla backing it up.

Wonderful, another of my regulars!

I have to admit this was my first venture into pipe smoking, (yes yes, with a MacQueen Wizard 15" nontheless!!!) but this was not only a great tasting smoke, I think it really helped me learn HOW to smoke correctly! Too much too quick and tounge bite, too slow and it goes out, but just right and you have this wonderful flavor rolling over your tounge! Has a 'zing' to it!

****sold now as "King Arthur Blend"****

Being new to pipe smoking myself I found this blend to be extreamly easy to smoke and keep lit. It will bite if your not too careful but overall its a very pleasurable smoke. The only thing i've noticed is that it burns pretty darn hot, i'm a very conservative puffer and i still have to set down my pipe for a few minutes to cool off. Overall a wonderful smoke and i'd recommend this to anyone!
