House of Windsor Hines Mixture T426
(2.00)
The culmination of over 150 years of Master blending experience, combined into one fantastic smoking tobacco. Marrying red and bright Virginias, burleys and a black fire cured cavendish with a secret coconilla Flavoring, makes this a great all day smoke with a wonderful room aroma.

I am sorry to say yet another disappointment from HW. Again I order this blend being reminiscent of a by gone era. It also reminded me that when I started smoking my pipe I went to a local Manhattan tobacconist to find a blend worth smoking. Now this is years before all the Connoisseur Blends of today. Aroma is Fair Flavor is weak. Lets let this one fade into obscurity there are much better aromatic drugstore blends. like Dutch Masters Cherry & Whiskey for staters. And 150 years later we have come a long way with some blends that surpass these HW Blends. If I was only able to smoke these blends I would have tossed my pipe away back in 1983

This and honey mixture both smell much better in the tin yet fail to deliver in the aroma/taste department when lit. The taste isn't sweet enough or natural enough to put up with the slight abrasiveness that these kind of aromatics can produce. If I'm going to smoke something aromatic and sweet this warm weather season I guess I'll have to stick to Edward's blends...

Wonderful tin aromas are all well and good - but if it tastes nasty when you smoke it, who cares how nice it smelled before?
Hines is different from other tobaccos in the same way that Cross Eyed Cricket is, and I liked it about as much.
Hines presents a funky taste that doesn't seem to be able to decide what it wants to be, but it has nothing to do with tobacco.
If you insist upon trying this one, may I suggest you accompany the bowl with a nice glass of Kool-Aid, or perhaps even Hawaiian Punch....

Wow, this stuff is nasty! This coconilla flavoring, whatever it is, is not for me. The ?flavor? dissipates as you progress down the bowl and evolves into a bitter and acrid smoke.
I rate this tobacco 0.0000000001 out of 10

Hines Mixture. Halfway through the first 2oz tin, I thought it turned on me because it was biting. Nope, technique. I was enjoying it so much that I was overpuffing like a steam engine up a hill.
This is wonderful stuff! SWMBO loves the aroma. It tastes like tobacco and smells like a good quality german chocolate or black forest cake (sans cherries).
It can nip (not really bite) if attacked. I have a tendancy to inhale from time to time and it irritated my throat. Again, this is not the tobacco, this is the smoker. This tabak is a MUST TRY for all who partake. It behaves well in all sizes of pipes, including cobs. This is a true winner that needs to stay in the market.
8/10/2004: This blend turned on me, started biting and began making me physically ill. In all fairness, it may be my body chemistry, however, I PK'd my cellar and will not return.

Hines smells wonderful in the tin, if you like the smell of coconut, and it smells great in the room at the beginning of the smoke. You can also taste a bit of the coconut flavor at the beginning of a bowl. Not long after the match, though, the flavoring burns off and what you get is a very smooth, slightly bitter, burley.
To the blend's credit, it does not smoke wet, and it won't goop up your bowl. But all in all, for me, this is an undistinguished smoke that I won't restock.
