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.

Wanting to try something unique to my first 4Noggin order, I got an ounce of Rincon without any expectations going in. The baggie (which was a very sturdy plastic btw), opened up to a very pleasant sour Oriental twang that was not overly potent, allowing for whiffs of sweetness and some kind of nutty natural taste.
The cut was akin to another 4Noggin product I tried (their Hobbit's Weed rendition), with a paper thin leaf and anemic ribbon cut, that I just can't pack correctly. It is very light (think cotton candy texture), so it tends to be airy if packed loosely and restricts air flow once tamped down too much. These packing issues caused my sessions to burn hot.
Once I got a somewhat consistent burn going, I found the smoke to be pleasant, though a bit bitter. The profile was similar to a non filtered cigarette, yet not terribly strong.
For me, I had too many issues with the burn and lack of depth once lit. To be fair, the packing issues could easily be a me problem, but I have no plans to revisit this one.
