International is one of Iwan Ries' oldest in-house blends, and as far as I'm concerned, still one of their best. It's a purely non-aromatic mixture, no toppings to alter the all-tobacco taste. English in character, with flavor derived mostly from orientals, enhanced with a light touch of latakia. The ribbony cut packs and lights easily, and burns steady without harshness or bite. It stays fairly dry and finishes cleanly.
For me, this is a near-perfect everyday smoke that I never seem to tire of, and for a tobacco maverick like me that says a lot. And at it's modest price, it's a good value. I have had tinned mixtures costing much more that I didn't like as well.

I really enjoy the fullness of this mixture. Good sweet burley with just enough spicyness to keep my attention. If you tired of the drugstore burley's and want something with a nutty flavor and alittle zing, try International Mixture from Iwan Ries.

If you are a recent convert from the cigarette ranks, this is the perfect tobacco for you. It resembles a qauality cigarette in flavor, and carries enough nicotine wallop to satisfy your cravings.
An honest, pure tobacco taste that fits in when you want no surprises. It burns and packs well too. Give this a try!

Here's a favorite in my rotation. I've been smoking Iwan Ries International for over 20 years and I'm amazed at the consistency of the blend. It's one of those blends that I keep coming back to. It has a great earthy aroma in the pouch and I just love the nutty taste and aroma when lighting this mixture. It burns nice and dry and stays lit -pure smoking pleasure well into the bowl. Real tobacco taste - yet a more agreeable, mild and a better day to day smoke than Dunhill 965 or Durbar. If you're a cigar smoker or cigarette smoker making the switch to pipes, try this blend. Look elsewhere if you're a big aromatic fan as this is one of the best, pure unadulterated straight tobacco tasting pipe tobaccos, that I've found. By the way, adding a fine blended or malt Scotch Whisky and your favorite jazz to the equation makes for a great way to end your day. Enjoy!

I recently switched from the aromatics to the non aromatics and I am glad that I did. Has a great taste but a bit too strong for an "early pipe", at least as far as I am concerned. Good amount of spiciness in the beginning then savory as the bowl progresses. A fine smoke.
