Rattray Black Mallory

Rattray's Black Mallory is not an English blend as others have noted in their reviews. This is predominately a Virginia weed and that is what most strongly comes forward. There is a slight creaminess that I like, but the Virginia is harsh and the nicotine level stronger than one would imagine. I understand why others like Black Mallory and lovers of Virginia weeds will probably appreciate it. Going into this expecting an English blend disappointed me and I will not be purchasing it again. The smell in the tin, the raw tobacco, is fantastic, but the overall smoking qualities leave a lot to be desired.

Versione "appesantita" del Red Rapparee. Troppo Black Cavendish con conseguente tendenza a scaldare eccessivamente la pipa. Buona combustibilità. Contenuto nicotinico significativo. Non adatto a fumatori inesperti.

Black Mallory. Tin evokes a good smoked bacon from Kolozsvár. Black colors dominate the mix, this is definitely Latakia! Other ingredients doesn’t “distract” us everything supports the smoky flavor. Approx has 35% latakia in it, but it is not harsh , rather rounded, but at the same time the taste is a bit monotonous. It stays steady all the way through, however it burns a little fast. Nicotine level is mild to medium. Smoke volume is rich even without paying much attention. So, if you ignite it in a non-foggy-humid weather, this tobacco can generate easily your own aura of smoke. It is a decent smoke, but there are more interesting blends on the market. Somewhat recommended.

This is to me a sweet English blend "Scottish" the flavor profile is nice and for a crossover blend type its great. However i am not a fan due to the lack of latakia power that it has. This to me would be a good blend for someone to try that is in the process from making the switch from Aero's to English blends. Hope this helps.
