Von Eicken Bayside Mixed Blend
(2.00)
Notes: Although marketed as a pipe tobacco, the vast majority of smokers that use this, use this as hand rolling tobacco. Made by Von Eicken and imported into the U.K by Bull Brand, a well known English maker of filter tips, rolling papers and other hand rolling accessories. Newer packs of Bayside have "new improved blend" printed in the top left hand corner of the pack.

Von Eicken - Bayside Mixed.
"Why all the bad reviews? It's alright!". That was my impression of Bayside. "Good God, this is truly foul!". It took all of a minute for that to become my opinion.
O.K, a few positives to try and rescue it: the nicotine's mild, and it's well hydrated from the pouch. The inaugurate flavour whilst getting the burn going is quite good; tolerable, but after that it belongs in the bin. I can't see how this would be enjoyed in either a cigarette, or a pipe; there's little actual tobacco flavour, but a heap load of a strange chemical flavour; very bizarre. When I used to smoke cigarettes I was a Marlboro man and can't remember EVER having a ciggie where the flavour resembled paint!
I'll finish on one last good point: it burns well.
Disgusting.
Not recommended.
P.S. maybe the chemical taste is subjective to my palate, so you might enjoy a pipe-full.

Okay, this is rubbish.
But, there's a but.
I mixed this 60/40 with some Cyprian that I've had hanging around and it smoked fine, kinda calmed the Cyp down and added a little sweetness.
I think this stuff could supply a cost effective base for some blending experiments: on its own it's a waste of matches!
