Wow -- Cigar anyone?
You will think it's a stogie hanging from your lips rather than a pipe if you smoke this plug. I purchased some for a pipe club meeting about a year ago. It received conflicting reviews. Those in the group who enjoyed an occasional cigar said this blend really did taste like a cigar.
Iwan Ries has been selling this blend for many, many years. So, it has its fans. I'm just not one of them.

This blend is advertised by IRC as a cigar blend, but tasted to me like a very cheap "drugstore" aromatic like Middleton's Mixture 79. It had a very strong soapy taste. Given my penchant for English and cigar blends, I was very disappointmented. At the time I tried this, I was actually trying for something akin to Balkan Sobranie's Virginia #10, which is no longer available. This blend earns 1 star inasmuch as it makes smoke & that's about it!!

I like to keep my reviews short.So here it goes! Take Barking Dog,add cigar leaf,and kick it up a few notches and you have this mix. Not 1 of my favorites but someone may like it.
