Edward's Buccaneer
(2.64)
The champion of dark, fire-cured Cavendish. A zesty aromatic blend that is popular with younger and experienced smokers alike. In fact, this blend has become the biggest selling Edwards tobacco through the years. A cool smoke that you must try.

This is one of the first Edward's tobaccos I tried and really, I don't care for it. It is by far & away one of Edward's best sellers and the room note is great, but the flavoring is way too strong for my taste and the tobacco is VERY wet in the pouch. The pouch aroma is very nice, typical to the dark cavendishes.
Packing it is fairly easy. As said already, don't use a very big bowl for this blend. It's difficult enough to get lit in the beginning due to how moist it is, so it is more condusive to easy smoking in a smaller bowl. You'd be wise to let it air dry somewhat and then resealing it to make the lighting easier. Flavoring is a very heavy licorice/vanilla and you had better be careful how you smoke because before you know it, your tounge will get a nasty bite if you get a little agressive with your puffing.
All in all, this smoke is way too aromatic tasting for me and the bowl of my pipe gets too goopy smoking it. While it does smell great, it's not worth the effort you have to exert to keep the tobacco burning nor is it worth the way your mouth feels and your pipe looks afterwards.

I am not usually a fan of aromatics but gave this a try because every once in a while I like to try something in this genre. I did not like it. I feel that flavoring took predominance over good blending. I have had other quality black cavendish style tobaccos that I enjoyed much more. There are only a few good things I can say about this blend and that is it smells good when burning, it smokes cool and may be good for a novice pipe smoker.
