Stanwell Classic
(2.25)
An exquisite mixture blended from mature Virginia, and mellow black cavendish, we have added a gently pressed and fermented cut plug made from Virginia and burley. The mixture is perfected with a touch of sweet plum aroma, which creates a unique smoking experience for the most demanding pipe smoker.

Stanwell - Classic.
I was unaware of Stanwell tobacco's until I stumbled upon this one night whilst on The Danish Pipe Shop's website. I love to try something new (to me) so ordered some and here's my thoughts:
The pouch doesn't smell that aromatic, there's maybe a delicate fruitiness but nothing more. There's less Black Cavendish than the other two varieties: the pouch has about 25% BC in it. The ribbons are fairly chunky, with a good water content.
Now the actual smoke: when I first light a bowl of this the only added taste I get is plum. For the first few minutes of my initial pipe-full I thought they were lying about the coffee and brandy; give them time! When they do come to the fore they aren't as strong as the plum, but for my palate they are discernable.
For me, one of the great points about this is the smoke's build and temperature: extremely cool and brilliantly thick; that's something I adore!
The nicotine feels pretty mild from this; actually it's really mild!
For me, the only negative is the speed of the burn: if it's not taken easily it can be over in a flash!
I'm glad I came across this; it's a cracking smoke!
Highly recommended.
