Ashton Smooth Sailing Pipe Tobacco 50g Tin

Date Added: Sunday 31 May, 2026 by David

This review is based on the 10g sample, which arrived just about right with only about 5 minutes drying required. I found the calm and smooth quality somewhat ruined by an ever present potential tongue bite always hiding round the corner, slowing down and staying on top of managing the burn is an absolute must for this blend. It took nearly a full bowl to find the sweet spot. Taste wise, it has definite coconut mouth feel, similar to the after taste from coconut water. This is inescapable but welcome, and the maple syrup sweetness provides a smoothness which fades in and out. I found it hard to find the dark chocolate apart from on the occasional retrohale of you're really thinking about it. A good blend but too much work and not enough full flavour for my personal liking.

Quite a relaxing light aroma whilst burning clean and even from start to finish. The flavours are woody tasting but sweet, with the nuts and maple tones and hints of coconut and chocolate. Best results are to smoke it calm and slow. Michael - C.Gars Ltd
