Two Friends Celtic Mist
(2.30)
A base of the highest grades of cavendish, with just a bit of burley, is enhanced with wonderfully sweet Virginia tobaccos. A delightful tobacco flavor sets the stage, enhanced, not overwhelmed, by the addition of a little essence of Irish Mist. The room aroma is equally enchanting to those fortunate enough to be in the presence of the smoker.

One of the best aromatics I have ever tried! The tin aroma is that of coffee with cream and sugar.It has a very chunky cut that packs well and eventually burns to a fine gray ash.The flavor is a wonderful BAILEY"S IRISH CREME and coffee mingled together. THe uniqueness of this aromatic lies in the fact it burns very cool and dry. There is no bite and the casing remains throughout the entire smoke. It is very similar in construction and characteristics to REPOSE by C&D. A wonderful aromatic experience and a true crowd pleaser!

I really enjoy this tobacco. It is not my EDS, but I do find myself reaching for it on a regular basis. The description is spot on and I would highly recommend it to the experienced piper that wishes to delve into aromatics.

If Pease doesn't bail and Tarler doesn't screw this one up, this stands to be one of the finest aromatics on the market today. I don't like Bailey's Irish Cream type drinks, and especially in tobacco format. It's there, but it's so perfectly blended in the leaf, you'd think each cell had been individually treated with loving care. The tin aroma is flat and uninspiring, but give it a few minutes upon lighting, and let the tastebuds dance begin. I've been shying away from spicy English and oriental blends during this hot summer, so this one has really filled the bill. So far, I've enjoyed other Two Friends mixtures, and have a tin of Valle Crucis I'm aging for fall and winter. With all the other disappointing changes going on, this is one you will want to have around for when a sweeter repast is desired. A wonderful collaboration of the blender's art!

i started out smoking aromatics, then discovered english blends and pretty much abandoned them. it takes a good one to lure me back, and this is one of them. it is not syrupy, lights and burns easily, and has a pleasant room aroma. the taste is great, the cavendish and burley blend together well, and the Irish Mist really puts the topping on the cake. you do have to smoke this one slowly, puff too fast and you will get some tongue bite and a hot pipe. i 've read several bad reviews on this tobacco, usually by people who have only smoked samples at shows. like many tobaccos, it takes more than one pipe to really get a handle on it. i usually smoke it in a medium bowl pipe, this is not one that i would want to smoke for hours at a time. like a good dessert, a little goes a long way. making an aromatic that appeals to an english smoker is probably one of the harder jobs for a blender. craig tarler and g.l. pease are two of my favorites and they did a fantastic job with this one. four stars.
