I received a pouch of this in a previous order and I just put it away. I really wasn't in a great rush to try it based on my experiences with other plastic bag types of pipe tobacco I was able to buy at my local drugstore. So when I finally opened the bag - I took a good smell and although it wasn't strong it was pleasant aroma. Then perhaps - most critical to me - I felt it between my fingers and it had a sight moistness (ready to smoke moisture level) - yet no sticky feel from that nasty PG. It packed and lit easily - and it required no relights. There was slight sweetness and very, very mild cavendish taste. I would have liked a little more taste perhaps- but it didn't burn hot and produced ample smoke. I would imagine this would be too mild for many people - but honestly it was enjoyable - no pipe gurgle, tongue bite, or relights needed. This might be a fine tobacco for the novice or those who prefer a mild blend. It could easily be a all day smoke - a gentle non-thinking smoke. Honestly, I was surprised and I would buy it in the future to have on hand for those days I wanted or could only tolerate an ultra-mild blend. I know there are a lot better choices - but your not paying a premium and it is usually one of your local pipe tobacco pouch choices.
I just received my order (great job P&C) and I'm already on my second bowl. I've been a loyal customer of a national chain for many years and just recently gave this tobacco a try. I could not be more pleased with it. The aroma right out of the bag is wonderful and it that aroma only gets better with time. Thanks for another fine tobacco.
I purchased this on the 12 for 12 promotion. In a nutshell, it is a decent smoke. Fairly mild with a hint of sweetness. Considering it was less than a buck an ounce, it is a great bargain. I would definitely buy again at that price point.
