The original Mayflower mixture with which i started pipe smoking 30 years ago - along with Clan - , does not anything to do with Mayflower no.1. I tend to believe that T.Niemeyer has changed it's name to Flying Dutchman.
This Mayflower no 1 is a completely different tobacco and on pouch opening the evidence of "chocolate" is very clear.
The filling and maintenance is very easy, medium burning , with a "nutty" taste that can be a bit "boring", bowl after bowl. A very pleasant room aroma - not as pleasant as the "original" Mayflower - or Clan, but all in all, a decent smoke. ------ After several months without smoking this mixture, I returned on smoking it and I found it very very pleasant, compared with all the others I've been smoking.
It has become one of my favorites mixtures.

Since i got back to pipe smoking, this has been the one that pleased me the most. It burns very well, i hardly need to relit it when i smoke it! I haven't had any tong bite yet, and overall i can say i'm pretty satisfied and this will become a regular smoke for me.

It is a very good tobacco, loads of dedicated pipe smokers I know adore this blend. Above all it has a very nice flavouring, thoguht not excessive, it burns cool and produces thick smoke, my favourite smoke that is, cool and thick. It is a great tobacco to, as it don't bothers those who are next to you, for instance: I usually have lunch in a restaurant with 3 friends of mine, they always complain about my smoking habits, has only one of them is a smoker (cigarrete smoker the poor bastard), so they usually feel very unconfurtable with the smoke and the smell, with this tobacco they actually like it.
