Wilke Pipe Tobacco Wilke No. 193

A light English blend of burley, Virginia, latakia, and perique, topped off with a bit of Wilke's unique fermented black cavendish. Truly a social English.

I consider myself a very eclectic pipe smoker, I enjoy all blends. Much in the same way that sometimes I want a steak (heavy English) sometimes chicken or fish (burley blend or VaPer)and sometimes just a nice piece apple pie (quality aromatic).
I have just tried Pipeworke and Wilke blend #193 and what a wonderful experience. I have yet to be let down by carols blends (I've tried dozens) but sometimes I just crave more than the quality aros have to offer with regard to true tobacco flavor and strength. Herein lies #193. Not an aromatic/Latakia like JFH shortcut to mushrooms or black magic woman which is an aromatic first and foremost with heavy cavendish and a background Latakia (still great blends)but this is more on the English side of the scale. The nice touch is the mild sweetness, tingle of perique and definite smoky Latakia with a pleasant room note. A true English with a nice side of mild sweetness. Incredibly enjoyable, absolutely no wetness, no goop of any kind and absolutely wonderful quality tobaccos. Each tasted individually at times and not covered up by any overt flavoring. I hardly ever experience a tasteful non sour, non bitter, no bite tobacco at least at some point in the bowl. This was wonderful throughout the entire bowl. Minimal N hit. Thanks again carol. Keep up the good work.

One of the finest aromatic crossovers I've had the pleasure to taste. As with other reviews, I've indicated that no one does aromatics better than Wilke. There's that signature Wilke Cavendish, and in this blend, it seems to be applied with a toasted marshmallow topping and light vanilla extract. My friend tells me this is an English blend, but if it is, it's an American English, with the American playing the title role and the Englishman as the bit player. Warning: this can make your pipe steamy, and it does leave some wet gunk at the bottom, but this is the case with any sugary tobacco interacting with the dressings. Try this with a glass of Zybrowka, a Polish buffalo grass liquor that is really marvelous. Reach for this when you want to be reminded of pleasant, gentler times.

An excellent Aromatic English!My friend walked in the room and said "Where's the Anise?"I looked surprised and said "What"?.Anise is the aromatic agent here. This though,is nothing like a Germain and Sons' product.This has a sweet anise which compliments the English components of the blend.It is not however to be confused with Count Pulaski by Altadis. That again is a totally different flavor.The only drawback to this blend is that for me it smokes a little too dry.I'm sure that is my sensitivity to Virginia based blends.By all means,, give this one a whirl! A solid three stars!
