Wilke Pipe Tobacco Wilke No. 191

Presentation is ribbon cut, moist, with a nose of honey and brown sugar. The jar note is subtle, not at all cloying. While moist, this blend takes a match readily, and burns remarkably cool and dry with zero tongue bite, even when pressed. The pouch aroma translates directly to the taste: honey, baked sugar, a touch of vanilla bean. The flavoring is very consistent throughout the bowl and coats the tongue with a very pleasant, subtle honey taste.

While the complexity that leads to a lengthy review is not present, that's not why one picks up an aromatic. And, while not a rotation blend for me, I've found this a delightful change of pace. When the occasion calls for an aromatic, or you are simply feeling generous to those around you, this is an excellent choice that won't burn your mouth or goop your pipe. Regarding the room note, Mrs Perique asked: "Can I eat that?"

This is a superior aromatic and it's easy to understand why this is their top seller. I must describe it as the finest aromatic available today.

Extremely well made with superior, consistent burn; unlike most aromatics, dry to the touch, and no relight required.

Serious pipers take note of Pipeworks & Wilke; there is magic here.

fantastic. this is by far my *favourite* all around pipe tobacco, and favourite "flavoured" i can smoke this every day and not get tired of it. for a stronger smoke, i'll rotate blends, but when i want a smoother, less harsh, pleasant smelling blend, this is it. every time. i really can't recommend this enough.

if you are a hardcore blend smoker, this may not be for you, but if you ever reach for mild flavoured smoke, and haven't tried this one, buy it. today.

One of my top 5 blends to smoke. A mild tobacco with a good hint of vanilla and a slight taste of honey when smoked slowly ("sipped" on). My room note expert (wife) likes this blend. A cool taste, no tongue bite. Packs well and stays lit the bulk of the smoke. Enjoyed in a large Ben Wade freehand the last 2-years. Does well in larger bowls for me. Flavor continues well throughout the hour-long smoke. A great smoke, though I'm a sucker for Burley and cavendish.

This is one of my favorite blends. A great balance of honey, vanilla, and a smooth, creamy smoke. Not overwhelming, great flavors without a chemical taste. Burns clean and dry for me.

When I first got this I thought it was just ok nothing that stood out. But the more I smoke it the more it grows on me. Real mild and has a good taste.

This pipe tobacco is wonderful! The room fills up with a great honey/vanilla smell and then you get to taste it! It is nice and sweet! This is now my favorite blend so far, because there is no bite and its full of flavor! Carol must really blend all of these tobaccos like they say she does because I am positive its not just a whole bunch of bulk tobaccos mixed together and then called a "custom" blend, it really is!

Pipeworks & Wilke blends have never let me down and I just had to give this one a try by the description. I judge/give my opinion on room notes based an my girlfriends opinion, who is a non-smoker as sometimes it?s hard to base a room note if you are actually smoking it. So, with that said, the room note is pleasing with a sweet vanilla/nut flavor. The blend burns exceptionally well and I have never had to continually light up. At first, the sweet vanilla/honey flavor with a slight nutty backdrop, comes out with just the perfect mix of tobacco to create a pleasing taste. As the bowl burns about half way, I noticed the tobacco flavor picks up a bit more and the sweetness of honey dissipates and becomes more of a bold flavor while still remaining a pleasant taste. Does not have a lot of flavoring that is all over the board but just a ?one sided? pleasant sweet vanilla/nut that makes this blend an ?all around? aromatic. I have never been disappointed with any of Pipeworks & Wilke?s blends as they have always been a favorite of mine. I rate this a 4 star based on having no tongue bite, burning exceptionally well, and a pleasing taste. I don?t think you would be disappointed in ANY of Carol?s/Pipeworks & Wilke blends!

This tobacco has a wonderful flavor and aroma. After not having any for months, it is a great change of pace. There is something very satisfying about this blend and I'm happy to have received a new parcel of it.
