John Bull True English Pipe Tobacco  1.5 Ounce Pouch

John Bull True English

When you think of a traditional English-style pipe tobacco, what would you expect? Of course, it will have to have a fair amount of rich, smoky Latakia. Then it will need some sweet Virginia to balance out the heavy flavor of the Latakia. But to really finish the blend in a classic manner, some fragrant Oriental tobaccos should enter the mix. So, when John Bull wanted a new blend that would be called True English, they knew exactly what had to be done. John Bull True English has a robust flavor due to a good share of Cyprian Latakia, and there's the right amount of Virginia for excellent balance, but the addition of exotic Orientals completes a package that English blend lovers will want to add to their rotation. The fact that it's remarkably affordable is the icing on the cake.

Please note: John Bull True English Pipe Tobacco should arrive around mid-November. We're accepting pre-orders so you can be among the first to receive it when it arrives.

A good and solid smoke,
A good and solid smoke, spicy with Latakia. Just when you think you've got it pegged, then a hint of floral Oriental or Virginia creeps up on you in a manner quite delightful. I like the balance between the components. It does wield a bit of a kick, so I will brave this blend with a filter running interference.

I waited too long ....
I have always wanted to try John Bull. This one ticked a lot of boxes for me when I am in the mood for a medium-light english. Very pleasant taste and aroma. Just the right amount of latakia and oriental. I feel like there is a little something in here that helps with a touch of sweetness--not in a bad way. Definitely recommended.

I really like the flavor. It is a great smoke to end the day with, or my noon pipe on the weekends.

Best $6 I have spent…
I am a new pipe smoker and have tried about 4-5 English blends with Virginia, Latakia, and Oriental/Turkish mix. One is Early Morning Pipe which is a favorite. I think I may like this John Bull the best so far because it is mild, well balanced, and has a little more sweetness than I expected. It burned perfectly with no bite.

More English bang for your buck from John Bull
John Bull pouch tobacco has been a favorite of mine for years, so when they introduced their two new blends, I was understandably excited. They have not disappointed. Both the "Fragrant" and the "True" blends are excellent, especially the True. It is the rare budget-priced pouch English blend that can deliver taste and body from start to finish, and this one does it. Highly recommended.

Enjoy English
English varieties are my favorite. I'd say this is as the name suggests "True English"... will definitely be a part my regular english collections to keep on hand...

Enjoyable blend
When opening the pouch was surprised with the moisture content. I enjoy English blends and this is one I will reorder. It is a nice cool smoking English blend.

The Price is Right
I want to like this blend a lot more but I’m on the fence. The price is certainly right. The components are fresh and all there and the pouch is handy and keeps the blend fresh. I’m familiar with the original John Bull blend and I’m smoking the aromatic version right now but there is nothing that True English strikes me about it. I’ll keep trying and come back and review it once more.

Definitely a Hit for Me
This new blend from John Bull is definitely a hit for me. The Orientals are easily noted, but they don't have the off taste that I find in some English blends. The Virginia adds some sweetness but is in the background. The Latakia is the other main taste. I wouldn't say it dominates, but it does enhance the smoky taste and mingles with the Orientals to give a more dynamic taste, rather than have one element dominate the blend. I would recommend this for anyone who likes English blends.
