This is the only Cuban pipe tobacco I know of, and was a bit of a curiosity for me. When I opened the tin, the typical world of a humidor used for Cuban cigars exclusively made my mouth water. I couldn't wait to try it. Strong Cuban characteristics in its scent, beautiful slim,dark ribbons caught my eye. The ribbons are of different color, and is seems to be a well balanced, homogenous mixture of several types of leaves. I packed my billiard pipe with it, and started smoking it gently, carefully. It is amazing. I would say it is similar to a good Cuban cigar, developing in taste over time. A nice woody, smoky taste at the begging, that matured into a deep, earthy flavor with a side of dark chocolate. I would go as far, that is was actually better, then most cigars and the sensation is indeed unforgettable, loved every minute of it. I had expected it to taste like a chopped up cigar packed in a pipe, that usually is nasty, I actually got the opposite. This tobacco is unique, I am surprised, that is doesn't have a fan-club. Care needs to be taken, since if it overheats for example in a clay pipe, especially if you are greedy to reward yourself, without considering, that you are smoking a real gem, it may turn bitter, however it's worth experimenting with, as it has great rewards. Usually if you are nice to it, it rewards you with heavenly pleasures. I would recommend smoking it after a hard day, or as a reward, as it is caresses every sense of Cuban tobacco lovers. I found it quite relaxing for the body and stimulating for the mind. A good whiskey on the side, and you will forget all your earthly troubles. The room note is excellent, my family loved it. The only downside for me is that it is a bit difficult to come by in Hungary, however I would gladly recommend it to everyone I love. Update: It's also a great blending tobacco.

I have been smoking cigars for over twelve years and have always looked for and tried alternatives to taste and evolve cigars in the pipe, I finally found what I was looking for with PURE CUBA, excellent quality tobacco, certainly a quality Cuban tobacco, Robert McCornell is congratulations for the great work. That aftertaste prologing cigar in a balanced mix. It should be tasted very slowly to make the most of it.
Understand the proposal and do not create absurd expectations of smoking a "PURE" Havano, but a mixture of cigar tobacco for your pipe.
I am very satisfied with the burning and aromas found, Earth and Leather very present. It was really a pleasant surprise.

A very interesting tobacco. The first thing that caught my attention is finding something different from what you might imagine smoking a cigar in a pipe is. The flavor is very intense, and it is good to exhale the smoke partly through the mouth and then through the nose (as with a cigar). I enjoyed it mixed with Burley.
