The most insulting-on-the-taste-buds tobacco I have tasted in my 30 years of pipe smoking. If you must try this stuff, for goodness sake use a corncob instead of a briar. The flavorings in this "tobacco" will stay with your pipe for eternity!

November-2003.Holly's Non Plus Ultra. I could certainly taste the virginia along with something resembling perfume perhap's? It light's & burn's easily. But after a few hours my tongue feel's very tender,this is a 'sneaky' tobacco indeed,as I had no warning of this while smoking. I'm not prone to being bitten by tobacco either,so watch out!

I wouldn't go as far as the claim in the name, but this still is an enjoyable smoke. Yellow and brown VAs result in a tin aroma that is initially very strong and reminds me of the Orlick VAs. However,I believe there is no casing. The tobacco has been partially rubbed out and results in an even packing with a unifrom burn rate. The flavor is consistent throughout the smoke and not influenced by varying bowl sizes. If you enjoy straight VAs, you might like this one. A slightly wetter smoke towards the bottom of the bowl than I prefer, but still tolerable.
