El Rincon de la Pipa No. 1
(3.63)
A blend manufactured by 4noggins specifically for El Rincon de la Pipa, a pipe smokers forum in Spain, following the recipe by Javier Trillo and Carlos Rincon. A beautiful mix of Virginias, burley, Izmir, Latakia and a touch of black cavendish.
Notes: A very balanced mixture, full of body, with the white burley as the main flavor support, spicy Orientals giving a piquant character and Virginias bonding all of them, resulting a sweet medium atypical mixture.

Upon opening the bag I was intrigued with the first sniff, fortunately I purchased a pound after reading all the reviews. El Rincon De La Pipa couldn't have chosen a better blender to introduce themselves to the tobacco world.
I find that this is like a journey between America, England and the Orientals. The tobacco is quiet dry which is good because it is light and you get more for your money, if you want it moistened you can do that yourself but if you choose to try this blend don't do it half hearted, buy at least a pound, everyone has given it 4 stars because it truely deserves it.
I have put some into tins for my regular rotation and squashed the rest into a mason jars for ageing. I am yet to try it with a bit of moisture but this is quality tobacco. At times I mix it with a bit of Trout Stream also from 4noggins to get a hint of sweetness to perk the rest of the many treasures this blend has to offer.
