Chacom Grand Cru is a unique blend that will appeal to pipe enthusiasts who enjoy Virginia/Perique blends as well as those who like mellow aromatics. Made of red and bright Virginias, two kinds of black Cavendish, and a touch of Perique, this mellow blend has a hint of molasses and vanilla added to lightly sweeten and to enhance the aroma.
This one has a unique flavor profile. I've had Va/Pers with some Black Cavendish before, but none with this type of vanilla/molasses kick at the same time. However, neither the Black Cav nor the vanilla/molasses overpower the blend. Much like C&D's We Three Kings, this is an aromatic that still tastes like tobacco and isn't overly sweet. It does have a faint chocolatey tin note. Mild nic hit, not bitey. Pleasant and worth your time.

Excellent pipe cigs

Good mellow flavor and just a little bit more dry than you're avg pipe tobacco, making it wonderful in a pipe and rollies if you're into that.

I knew nothing about Chacom Grand Cru when I purchased it. I've tried it a number of times now, and I really like it. It is a pleasant aromatic blend of Virginia and perique that I really enjoy. A mild and pleasant auromatic.

I ordered it on a whim. It was pleasantly spicy without being overwhelming and dry enough to smoke straight out of the can. Extra points for having a rooster and liberité on the package.

The gentlest VaPer of anything you can still identify readily as a VaPer. Hasn't bit me yet. This has Jeremy Reeves written all over it. A bit on the dry side in the tin, burns very nicely. Nice body to the smoke, the Cavendish is a welcome addition, for me. I dig the topping, but not the aftertaste. Nice little prickle on the retrohale. Overall, a good smoke now and then, especially with hot black tea or earl grey.

Nice Vap/Per with a mild top note as described. For me, most blends that bill themselves as mild aros are either too aromatic or not enough. In my opinion this is a good example of a mild aromatic. I don't care for Perique enough to smoke it all the time but I'd smoke this when I'm in the mood for it.

One of my top tobaccos

Has become one of my top favorites. Very mild, mellow blend with just a touch of Perique. I was smoking this at an outdoor street carnival & overheard a couple different ladies asking their partners "Why don't you smoke a pipe?", so I must assume the room note is pleasant. Will be buying more.
