HU Tobacco JU 52
(3.33)
If you have ever heard the powerful boom of the BMW engines and seen the massive and yet majestic shape of a Ju52 (Auntie Ju) circling in the sunlight, surely you have felt an immediate fascination with this giant of the skies. Massive, powerful, majestic, yet playful and even a little naïve, but always impressive – this is how the “Ju 52“ blend, too, will present itself to you. Malty and slightly fruity tones give the powerful, dark pressed, medium-strong Virginia/Perique Broken Flake its character. A voluminous smoking experience in terms of taste, but without irksome weight. A gentle giant for dreams of the pioneering spirit of the past.

The dark pressed Virginia is very earthy, woody, deeply dark stewed fruit sweet, and is the major tobacco component. The Kentucky is fairly earthy, woody, smoky, and a little floral, nutty sweet as a secondary player. The perique has a mild spiciness with raisin, date, plum and fig overtones, adding a little complexity in its back up status. The floral essences as well as the lightly applied, rich raspberry are obvious in every puff, but they do not sublimate the tobaccos so much as they compliment them to form a well balanced medium strength, medium tasting aromatic. A broken flake mixture that burns fairly easily and cool at a moderate pace with a consistent flavor to the finish. It doesn’t take that many relights to burn it to ash, and leaves just a little moisture in the bowl. No bite, no dull or hot spots. The nic-hit is just above being mild. The room note is fairly pleasant, and so is the after taste. Three and a half stars.

When I saw the name of this tobacco, I told myself that I absolutely had to try it! I think we've all seen pictures of this aircraft and the first things that come to mind are the airlift at Stalingrad, the invasion of Crete .. . Ju 52 is an excellent allday tobacco, it seems light, but it is not that much. it develops dense plumes of white smoke spiraling: really seems to be among the clouds. I'm not a big fan of aromatics, but I've never tasted anything like this:it has a certain body, a slight natural sweetness that is combined with a nutty flavor. Extremely pleasant,an easy smoke for the morning.I've loaded into the pipe with the Frank method and he was burned down without problems. An easy playful smoke and an easy buy!
