I love trying as many different tobaccos as possible. If you were to take a look at my list of reviews you would find very few that I have rated one star as I find that even the tobaccos that I don't care for still have some quality that I can find in the blend. Pink Champagne is one of those rare blends that I can find next to nothing that I enjoy. It is also one of the rare tobaccos that I couldn't finish the tin. Well, maybe the strength....but it's not enough to overcome the terrible taste of this blend. I did like the tin art, but sadly I can't smoke that! Not recommended!

OK; I bought this mainly because of the tin art, but also because it's blended by Samuel Gawith and I like English blends. I have only been able to get through three bowls and will not smoke it again. All I tasted was burnt grilled meat (the Turkish?)--no champagne, not even latakia. Oddly enough, however, I could smell the latakia in my mustache after the smoke was over. The room note is a guess, based on dirty looks I received from passersby on an afternoon walk, although I suppose that could be a reaction to the piper rather than the tobacco. The Captain Earle's line from Hermit is much better.
