This blend is a mystery...
On the tin there is no mention that it is a pipe tobacco to the exception of the health warning sticker and the design of a pipe on the sides. Of course that is sold in tobacco shop so customers know that it is a pipe tobacco!!
No mention on the tin or in the tin about where it is made and how the blend is made... Thanks for the notice here above which gives some clues.
It is not even mentionned on Poul Winslow's website where only his selections 1 and 2 are listed...
I bought it after discussion with the one of the tobacconists in Geneva (the one on the right bank, going down to the lake - no advertising here!) who had no more ideas about it and was tempted as one other reviewer by the picture on the tin: beautiful painting with a pipe emerging on the surface.
That said, how is it? Well, I share previous reviews: that is disappointing. A fruity smell of the tobacco in the tin. Unfortunately that is like many aromatics which do not match expectations when smoked, with nothing easy to detect nor appreciate. I have smoked it using various bowls and it bites the tongue, whatever the bowl.
I will keep the tin in my drawer for paper clips.

somehow i found myself collecting tins , and this one is just beautiful. after opening... nothimg. tobbacco. full stop. nothing out of the ordinary. burns well, but the taste is so,so. nothing out of the ordinary. bit of a tongue biter, taste of plums and something fresh (grass?), bit of a cool breeze. naa.... not exciting. Winslow pipes are works of art, maybe he should stick to that?
