I wish that I had the ability to pronounce the name without stumbling on my tongue, so I will call it JC/T-12.
The 50 gr tin opened with release of an airlock, and the tobacco was amazingly dry. I like dry, aged pipe tobacco. I was not disappointed at all.
Room Note is very pleasant. Strength, very mild. Did not detect any toppings or casings, only outstanding blending and finishing. Each component of the blend stands forth like a beautiful teaser. Money well spent.
Smoked in an Ebony Rhodesian (Pre-Comoy Archer's), the smoke was mellow and friendly. Absolutely zero tongue bite. This I can attribute to the tobacco being aged for quite some time. Definitely worth squirreling a few tins away!
3-stars is my rating. I think that I will be looking to purchase one of those old steamer trunks which were common many years ago, and start stocking up on my favorite blends. T-12 will be a blend worth storing several tins.

This is a really pleasant tobacco that burns just a little on the slow side and has a charachter that is balanced just about exactly in the "medium" vicinity. Rounded flavor with just enough complexity and a decided slightly sweet note that harmoniously enters as part of a Virgina base. The Orientals in this tobacco add just a hint of weight without making the blend heavy, and their presence is most welcome since they play against the Cavendish wonderfully and add some wheat or nutlike notes. Most pleasing, but can bite if encouraged, so take it a little easy. I would recommend this as a pleasing change-of-pace to a Virgina or perhaps even an English smoker. I enjoyed my sample very much.
