Affordable Pipes Guy's Navy Blend

A sweet blend of Virginia's with enough Burley to give it some body and just the right touch of Perique. Spicy sweet Jamaican Rum added for a delicious taste.

This is just a very good tobacco. The rum topping is very lightly applied. I can't even really detect anything that reminds me of rum but then again I don't drink the stuff. That being said it just enhances the taste and particularly the aroma. The description says mostly Virginia with some Burley and a touch of Perique. I mainly detect the burley and don't taste any of that virginia sweetness but do experience a bit of tanginess that I guess can be attributed to the virginia or maybe from the perique. That is not a bad thing. Whatever the case it just tastes and smells of good,natural tobacco with wonderful aroma. Nothing complex but that's the way I like it. It smokes mild but never boring and never bites. My pipe sometimes gets a little gurgle towards the end of the bowl but nothing that distracts from the enjoyment.
Puff on it mindlessly or sit back and savor it in a more contemplative moment , it's all good.
This actually rates 3 1/2 **** in by book.

I received this as a free sample when I purchased a 5-pack sampler from Guy. Once I hit this one in the sample rotation, there was no turning back. I finished the small pouch very quickly indeed. Lights and burns easily without much in the way of relights. Room note is SO-approved and comes across as an aromatic. The flavor is sweet but nowhere near what is suggested by the room note and it comes across as more natural than most tobaccos topped with rum. Highly recommended. Well done Guy!
