There's a little nut, citrus and grass from the burley and cavendish-style Virginia, more so at the half way point and beyond. Peach brandy dominates the experience, and it's sweet with a few tart, sour notes, though it does weaken a little at the same point the tobacco becomes more noticeable. The main problem is that it gets bitey if you puff fast, so I suggest a slow puffing cadence. Has little nicotine. Burns lightly fast, leaves some moisture in the bowl, and requires an average number of relights. The after taste is sweet and sour, but also has some bitterness. Could be an all day smoke.

When my father quit smoking cigarettes back in the 1960's, he bought a couple of Kaywoodie pipes and a tin of John Rolfe Peach Brandy to help him through. I was just a kid and noticed that dad's pipe smoking career was short lived. Too bad, because I loved the smell of that Rolfe Peach Brandy burning in his pipe.
I snagged an old tin of this 8-years ago on eBay and couldn't wait to try it, figuring that it would bring back a lot of pleasant memories. I got through about half a bowl and realized why dad quit the pipe so suddenly. This tobacco tasted very bitter with no sweetness to match the smell. Worse, it beat the dickens out of my poor tongue which wound up in a sling for a week.

Package note of peaches, sugar and sour vegetation. Tobacco is a ribbon cut of brown, black and dark brown with a little light brown mixed in. Moisture content is great. Burns fast with few relights. The strength is mild and nic is mild. Flavoring is medium, with notes of Peach Brandy. Flavoring is up front for the first 1/3 then drops to the background. Then it disappears during the last 1/3. Taste is mild to medium and somewhat consistent, with notes of loads of tart peach, fermented sour, wood, peaty vegetation, brown sugar, molasses, earth, dry hay, sweet brandy, very acidic, bread, a semi-sweet creamy nutty background note, and a peppery retro. Flavoring is leading most of the time with Burley and Cavendish supporting. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is ok.

I can see why some people might like this baccy. It tastes very rich in Virginias and starts with a mild peach flavor that lasts for about 1/2 of the bowl. However, it does me in just trying to get through one bowl full (which I haven't thus far been able to accomplish).
It may be in some change in the blend because I notice that those who have gone before me purchased it quite awhile ago. But I have tried JR from 2 different blenders and it seems to be the same in every way from both of them.
The pouch note is pleasant with a decided aroma of peaches which is the only thing that I can find that lets it be called an aromatic. The aroma does NOT show up in the room note.
With whatever moisture content I have tried it with, the baccy packs easily and well, lights well and stays lit fairly well. The problem I find is in the taste. All I get while smoking this is strength and harshness. It never actually bites but I feel the ever presence of the threat. It smokes somewhat hot which is why I probably don't get bit because of controlled sips in an attempt to keep the heat down but this results in not much smoke ever being produced. Strength builds and about mid bowl, I have lost any thoughts of pleasure and within minutes have to empty the pipe. Maybe I'm a wimp, but I just can't smoke this any more.
I know that there are those who enjoy much more strength than I can tolerate but I can't honestly go higher than 1 star.
