Robert McConnell Red Roses

(2.17)
This tobacco is a perfect composition of jet-black black cavendish and some sun-yellow Virginia, embedded in rose buds. Finest aroma of roses is added with a touch of caramel to caress the palate of the pipe smoker. A true smoking experience with a unique room atmosphere.

Robert McConnell - Red Roses.

Another of my reviews from years back I've retyped.

Some of the mixture's quite coarse, it's too wet, and the roses are easily identified in the tin-note.

The smoke? Oh dear. But, I can't really get mad because a blend called Red Roses tastes like a flower bed. I take blame for that: bad choice!

This wouldn't be 'as' bad if the floral appurtenance wasn't as brusque. The caramel, black Cavendish and Virginia form a sweet, creamy, grassy, flavour. Another redeeming feature's the smoke's thickness and lack of bite. But the roses ruin things; they're just too potent.

Nicotine: mild. Room-note: strong.

I wouldn't expect to enjoy a blend called Red Roses, and I don't. Two stars, I can't slam it with just one. That would be like complaining that your beef tastes beefy!

Somewhat recommended.

Red Roses Tra le cosiddette "aromatiche" ha un sapore piacevole caramellato e allo stesso tempo con una leggera nota di rose meno accentuata a dispetto del nome. Sicuramente un tabacco estivo per la freschezza e l'aroma leggero che lascia in bocca.La room note è piacevole L'umidità all'apertura è ottimale e la combustione è regolare senza alcun impedimento. Consigliabile ma non tra i "must".......per fumate spensierate
