My take on this blend is quite different from the prior reviewer, but my conclusion is the same - this is a very nice tobacco. I DON'T love cigars, and the one or two that I smoke each year are just kind of fun. So I put off smoking this tobacco from my McConnell sampler pack for more than a year. My mistake.
This has wonderful elements of both cigar and pipe tobacco. Don't expect this to taste like a ground-up Cohiba, because it has a faint sweetness, an almost-delicate top note, and a fragrant nature that I have yet to discover in a cigar. That said, this tobacco has a nice, rich fullness to it, obviously a contribution of good cigar leaf. It does burn fast, but I attributed this to a fine leaf cut and a drier feel. The pipe tobacco blends seamlessly with the Cuban stuff, and I was very sad to smoke the last puff of this. Burned well, smoked cool and dry, nice fluffy ashes.
Again, don't be afraid of the "cigar" label. My wife thought it smelled good, and I didn't have cigar-mouth for the next 24 hours, two absolute indications that this is a very fine Pipe blend.
