Wilke Pipe Tobacco Royal Scot
(2.71)
The famous Royal Scot, a most aromatic blend, remains unique and unlike any other aromatic ever made. The flavoring for this classic mixture has been a closely held secret for over 100 years. This melange of plugged Virginia, North Carolina and burley can be smoked as is, or used to enhance your own favorite blend.

I really like the tobaccos coming from Pipeworks & Wilke. Very high quality and unique. Give some of them a try.
Royal Scot is the Norman Rockwell of pipe tobaccos. While an aromatic, it has nothing in common with the typical cased, PG coated, completely tasteless, flavor-challenged, black cavendish blends. Nothing. I have no idea what the aromatic is comprised of (it is a secret) but it is truly unique and tasty (and I normally do not like aromatics). I have to imagine this is how aromatics were made in the old days. No sticky spray nozzels of stuff or sickly black cavendish. Just high quality leaf aged with a natural aromatic essence. In a way it reminds me of the gently perfumed Lakeland tobaccos, without the awful "soapy" essence.
The cut is just great. True Americana. Moist chunky plug cut VAs with nutty Burley. Moderate nicotine punch. Burns clean and dry with no goop at all. Very pleasant room aroma.
Give this a try. While it may be too different for some, I think it is one of those unique old-school aromatics that all pipe smokers should try at least once.

This blend has quickly become one of my favorites. The flavor is hard to put my finger on but reminds me of vanilla ice cream. Very light topping that lets the base tobaccos shine through. There is no black cavendish in this blend, its a mix of browns. The blend is just perfect for a stroll as it does not overheat nor goop up ones pipe rarely needing a pipe cleaner. The aroma is to die for as my girlfriend swoons over this one and i always love the room note after i leave the room and enter again later. Delightful chunky blend, i see why it has withstood the test of time!

Don't know what its in this tobacco, but it is great. Just too bad that Pipeworks and Wilke are now only making it available in some of their blends.

I'm fairly new to pipes, but have tried a variety of tobaccos, including four from Wilke. I'd say Royal Scot is definitely one of my favorites. Not truly an aromatic, but there is still that hint of something interesting. Leaves a good clean aftertaste of pure tobacco unlike some other aros I've tried. Burns well and clean down to dry ash. With some other tobaccos, it helps to leave them out to dry a bit before smoking, but Wilke's seem to be always ready to load up and light. Just finished up my first 2 oz of this and placed another sampler order with Carole, but HAD to make one of them Royal Scot again.
