Pipe tobacco that is seasoned with cigar leaf requires a perfect balance for me. I also smoke cigars and while I don't expect a predominant cigar taste, I want a luxurious, smokey and cigar spicy taste.
First I am greeted by a sweet liquor topping that I don't really care for, then burley nutiness and some very subdued cigar notes. Actually, remove the cigar leaf in the description and then you have an over the counter pipe tobacco than doesn't live up to its colorful name Storm front. Now the only plus is the price and if you can convince yourself that it's amazing, then you have a winner. I unfortunately lack the required level of imagination to see it past its flaws.

I'm afraid I find this blend somewhat overrated. There is absolutely nothing WRONG with it, but it was, to me, pretty-much, a ho-hum smoke. Perhaps I demand too much of a burley blend.
The tobaccos used are absolutely first-rate. There is no bite, neither are there gurgle nor dottle. And many will find this blend rewarding. But I just didn't.
If there was cigar leaf here, it was undetectable. What there was, was predictably acceptable burley...but little else.
I could smoke it contentedly if there were nothing else available...but there IS!!!
