Robert McConnell Special London Mild
(3.00)
A blend of brights and orange leaf hides a rich flavour that comes out in the smoking. Very pleasant, without bite, the tobacco is distinctive and mellow, and brings back the flavour of a real blend.

On opening the tin, you´ll find a very fine cut plain Virginia with a natural VA aroma. It packs easily and lights with the first match. However this tabacco should be used only in the smallest bowls and smoked very carefully, otherwise it burns like a house set on fire and could do serious damage to your briars (and your tongue).
IMHO, this is for rolling your own cigarettes rather than a pipe tobacco. I know, there are some fellow pipsters who tend to inhale the smoke, they should give it a try.
Special London Mild sure is of good quality, but I won´t keep it in my rotation as there are much better tobaccos available from McConnell.
4 out of 10 in my personal rating.

Opening the tin reveals beautifully orange ribbons of fine ribbon tobacco combined with a gentle subtle aroma of unflavoured Virginian. Packing of the pipe requires some care to ensure that the ribbons are not placed in to tight; however it lights easily and smokes reasonably well for the duration of the bole. The smoke is a mild masterpiece, which combines many of the qualities of a Virginian blend but in a fashion that is exceptionally delicate and refined. It is definataly advisable to smoke this tobacco when your palet is clean in order to make the most of the subtilles of the smoke This tobacco does have a tendency to dry out quite quickly after opening. It is sufficiently mild to be used as a cigarette tobacco as well if your tastes run that way.
