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.

If others were reviewing the blue pouch, then I also will go agains the grain, if on the other hand, they had the yellow pouch, they were not far of the mark. That having been said, the blue, only slightly more complex than the yellow, is a simple no nonsense tobacco that can be used for the pipe or cigarette. There is slightly and I mean slightly more taste and flavour than the yellow Virginia, I may not be stocking up on this but if there is nothing else to smoke, I would be grateful for it, I can think of many a blend at much higher prices far worse than this one, smoked very slowly in a pipe, some flavour does come through, but only some. If you like the milder blend and do not have a high nicotine tolerance, this is for you and you'll love the price so I'm going to give it 3 stars for those who like the very mild inoffensive blends, as opposed to myself who likes very strong pure virginia's on steroids

Well I have to go against the grain here. If you are seeking a cheap baccy (around £8.50 from ASDA in the UK) then we have one. Firstly it comes in a well sealed bag which both belies the cheapness and keeps the content fresh. A lovely aroma which I have found does come through when smoking. I have smoked baccy at over half the price again that tasted far worse than this one. Really its the little brother of ST Bruno, just a average, old fasioned, good burning baccy. And cheap!
