Stanwell Melange

The smell in the tin is exactly as everybody is saying, as is the smell when you smoke it. I tried it in a meerschaum, and really liked it - but for me the full potency of the tobacco didn't really make itself known until I smoked it in a Missouri Meerschaum cob. That was when the personality really shone through. The sweetness of the cob perfectly complements the tobacco flavor. I can't describe how incredibly impressed I was with the match. It was a knockout. And I don't do dessert tobaccos and I really don't do cobs too often either. So for me to have this revelation with the perfect match of tobacco and corn cob pipe, was really just something that made me terribly giddy. This was something that in one single bowl made me fully appreciate what every corn cob connoisseur has been on about. Anyhow, I'm sold. This is a tobacco I really liked in one pipe, then super fell in love with in another pipe. So overall, I'm just hugely impressed. But man oh man, a corn cob pipe just really makes this one sing. Later, Melange has proven true to both briar and cob, and has certainly been on demand with finicky pipes who seem to want to keep coming back to it! I also Christianed a new Peterson with it, and the new Pete also took to Melange like a fish to water! This tobacco is certainly going to be a mainstay - all my pipes are in love with it!!

One of the first tobaccos I smoked and it continues to be one of my favorites. The tin note is sweet and fruity and the smoke is mild and pleasant. One of my favorites!

Excellent tobacco if you are an aromatic kind of pipe smoker. Patience while smoking this tobacco and the flavors will come through. The room note is easy on my wife and daughter's sense of smell. A bit pricey but I got it on sale.. Says imported by Lane Limited hmmm.?

Such a wonderful tobacco! Not so expensive, but exceptionally good and its perfect room note will fit every place! Highly recommended!

This came with a starter pipe set, and I'm pleased that it did, because I have tended to stay away from fruity flavored tobaccos, leaning more toward vanillas and the chocolatey goodness of a Cavendish, or a nice honey toned casing. However, this tobacco is mild on the apricot and well-rounded. The fruitiness remains in the tin, with just a light citrus note surfacing during the smoke. Mild, smooth, cool and fresh, is how I would describe this tobacco. Definitely will get more of this.

I like aromatics and after reading the reviews for this blend, decided to give it a try. Smells wonderful in the can, just the right amount of moisture. Packs well and stays lit without much work. Really pleasant smoke, a bit of a bite if smoked too quickly but otherwise very enjoyable tobacco. Definitely worth a try especially if you are new to pipes. Sip slowly to avoid tongue bite! Nice full tobacco, will keep this in my regular rotation!

This is such a wonderfully pleasant aromatic tobacco. I love the apricot and citrus flavors which beautifully compliment the sweetness of the Cavendish and Virginias. I couldn't detect much in the way of Orientals. This is one of those rare aromatics that actually tastes like the tin aroma. For me it is a nice evening after-dinner tobacco. It's like a nice cordial to be sipped slowly. The room note is lovely too. After the tin has been opened for a couple weeks, the flavoring does get much weaker, as one would expect. However, its still pretty nice.

I am also a big lover of aromatics. And this is a really good one. Very smooth, easy to light, and great aroma. Burns nice. very different flavor than most. Bought this on a whim, and I'm glad I did. Will always make sure I have some sitting around.

irecommended this tobacco for everyone who wants a p[easent smell in room
