Possibly one of my favourite Brigham's. My dear friend and brother gave me a pinch and it was extremely pleasant. The rum shines through without being over-bearing and the vanilla is a subtle hint throughout the bowl. Clearly premium tobaccos make this a tobacco I will miss when it's gone.

I think this may have been a variation on reiner yellow label, and I wish Brigham had not gone the way of the dinosaurs. These were good blends.
This was surprisingly dry for an aromatic, and had lots of vanilla in the taste, double or triple what it had in rum. Was a mostly brown and gold blend with a very sweet smell in the tin.
The taste was a solid medium but it had a tendency to bite if not smoked out of a well broken in pipe. I have a special cob which I meticulously maintain as well as any of my expensive pipes, as the carbon in it is so thick that it allows even the most hidden flavors to surface in an aromatic. This blend was one I often smoked in it, as it didn't have nearly as much flavor in most of my other pipes. I still have a couple tins and will enjoy them.
