Rattray Accountant's Mixture
(2.79)
Dark and full-bodied without harshness. Great for outdoor smoking. Many strong mixtures are harsh and stringent; Accountants Mixture is truly an outstanding exception.

Rattrays Accountants Mixture. My fondest memories of my early days of pipe smoking immediately conjure up having some of this blend in my Peterson. It was heaven. I stopped smoking a pipe for quite a few years and have only recently picked up a pipe again, about 3 years ago. When I did I immediately went out to purchase some Rattrays Accountants Mixture. My tobacconist warned me and said that Rattrays is owned by a different company now and this blend is not as good as it used to be. Boy was he right. This is not the same blend. It is a middle of the road English blend. Nothing outstanding about it. I do not plan on buying another tin of this. It is not a bad blend but just nothing like I can remember. I would rather keep my memories of this blend. 3 stars.

Rattray's Accountants Mixture was one of my occasional blends over the years. I might buy a 4 oz can every couple of years or so, just to have a little different flavor. I recently bought another can and was most disappointed by it. Either now that this is being made by Cohlhacs and Kopp in Germany they have changed the way it is made or my taste buds are different. To me, it is now just another unremarkable latakia blend. There is nothing wrong with it, it simply is just now a rather strong latakia blend and no longer has a distictive flavor.

Not as dark as the decription would lead you to believe, but a good deal of dark leaf. The aroma was a nice balance of Va., Turkish and Latakia. The flavor was, as expected, nicely balanced and tasty, but not as full bodied as the description. All told, a nce enough blend, but not exceptional to my palate.

A decent latakia blend . Smoked a little hot for me . There are other latakia blends that I would smoke before reaching for this one again though . Not memorable .But not bad .
