Smoker's Pride Rich Taste
(3.15)
Rich Taste is a smooth blend of flue cured and air cured tobaccos, with real tobacco taste but a gentle enough flavor to smoke all day. It also makes a very good blending tobacco.

This is as straight-forward a blend as you going to find. My guess is that it's mostly white Burley with a small amount of Virginia. It was very dry indeed upon arrival so I rehydrated it in a jar I have for that purpose (this tobacco is physically very thin). The taste is surpisingly cool and I also give it high marks on the burn - very easy to keep lit. The cut is mostly ribbon. This may please you if you're a Prince Albert fan. Otherwise It's very plain with no surprises. Even the jar aroma is nice, but subdued. I don't think I'll be buying this again.

Very dry upon receipt, but I find it smokes better a little dry than a little moist. Played around with blending some with Dark Red and after some aging it was an improvement.

Smoker's Pride - Rich Taste.
I bought this from an eBay dealer for one reason, and one reason only: £5.27 with free shipping from the U.S.A.........Bargain! That is, unless it's rank!
It presents itself as medium size, quite dry, light and medium brown, ribbons. The moisture makes it simple to ignite.
And then it gives a 'no nonsense' smoke. The Burley outweighs the Virginia, by a mile, having a rough, nutty, somewhat aggressive nature; it isn't an over molasses-sweet Burley, but more of a 'rough and ready' one! The Virginia only gives a speck of flavour, it needs more of a deliberate tasting. Although the hydration increases the ease of igniting, it makes it burn warm and fast.
Nicotine: medium. Room-note: pleasant to tolerable.
Was it a bargain? It would do in an emergency, but wouldn't make it into my rotation. Two Stars:
Somewhat recommended.
