I really like this one. My tobacconist recommended it to me, because he knows I tend to complain with many pipe tobaccos that they are too mild. This one is just right for me. I enjoy to just open the tin and smell it. It really is a lovely mix. I don't find it to be that aggressive on the tongue as some might complain. Tobacco burns evenly and it produces a good smoke in which you can enjoy. I believe that some would not like it, but personally I think it's rather good.
Edit: I prefer it when it's open for a while instead of brand new. It's even better like that.

I've had a couple failed pipe smoking endeavors through the decades and never got beyond Captain Black Original. A few years ago I finally broke through the aromatic barrier into the vast land of Virginia Flake tobacco. Until today and the LE 11, the only subsequent sidetrack I took was with some "Trout Sream" aro a friend sent me.
This tin of LE 11 has been in my cellar for nearly 3 years. If was a "gift" from Pipes & Cigars. Thinking it would be horrible, I left it alone. Today, I am finally smoking a small Falcon bowl full and I rather like it. Aromatics are like candy. It's meant to be enjoyed once in a while, in small quantities. So, I'll keep this tin for when I get a craving; a sweet tooth. Trout Stream is good but I think this is better.
