What an unusual concoction! I really liked the combined elements of this light, but savory blend. You can taste just about everything in the blend, but if you are a latakia lover, this may be a bit thin for your blood.
If you are an aromatic fan, this won't excite you either. If, like me, you have a palate that accepts a variety of flavors (as long as tobacco is one of them), then I think you'll like ole Jess's T 15.
Thoroughly enjoyable. I smoked the whole tin in a matter of days.

Lots of taste. A wonderful blend! The five tobaccos mix equally, producing a flavorful, cool burning, taste treat. Master blenders, and top quality tobac at their best..

This was another of my trials of tobacco under the name of respected pipe makers. I've never smoked a Chonowitsch pipe but Kolhacs & Kopp, the German blender, has matched the reputed high quality of his pipes with this blend. The tin is marked 'hand blended product of England' but the product is actually made in Germany. This blend was quite a departure from my normal VA flakes and included a melange of tobaccos in rubbed out form from golden yellow to jet black. I thought that the Latakia was dominant in the tin and room aroma but the taste was more balanced and resulted in quite a tasty smoke with a Turkish influence. The aftertaste was also better than some other blends with a heavier Latakia presence. Easy packing and lighting resulted in an effortless smoke. I couldn't smoke this or any Latakia blend as a steady but this one will be a nice change of pace.

This was my first try with Jess C. blend and I must say I really like it. Great taste, easy to keep lit, moisture just right on about the second day of opening the tin. For me, I'll keep this in the rotation.

I haven't smoked any private label blends from pipe makers. For the most part, I usually stick to the major brands, G.L. Pease, Solani, Esoterica, etc. A friend of mine, who I share recommendations with for Bourbon, Scotch, beer and Spanish Brandy, recommended this blend. He has excellent taste, so I gave it a try. What a nice surprise T-15 is. It is a perfect, mild mixture of Virginias, Latakia and a touch of Cavendish and all three tobaccos come through nicely. I have had the pleasure of smoking this blend from a variety of pipes and it has smoked consistently well from pipe to pipe. I smoke both Virginias and English blends and this is a great mid-point between the two. I am also always on the lookout for mild blends I can smoke in the morning or all day and this fits the bill. Thanks Jess. You not only make great pipes, but you've got your name on an excellent blend.
