Description

I've put together this beginners tobacco sampler that consists of 4 sweet easy going tobaccos perfect for those who are starting out on their pipe smoking journey.

This sampler includes: 

1x 10g American Blends Kentucky N (Formerly Kentucky Nougat)

Gawith Hoggarth's American Kentucky 'N' Blend (Nougat) has a base of Black Cavendish tobacco with a fair portion of gold Virginia and a mellow topping of creamy toffee with cocoa.

Though this is an aromatic, it is a light blend that would please most, from the beginner to the more experienced and to those who rarely stray from pure tobaccos.

Sweet as it is, the garnish is not cloying and readily allows forward the natural sweetness of the Cavendish and Virginia.

Strength: 2/5
Aromatic Taste: 2/5
Room Note: 5/5

1x 10g Kendal Gold Mixture No.23 VNL (Formerly Vanilla)

A pure Virginia based tobacco enhanced with a smooth and creamy Vanilla flavouring.

The gold tobacco allows the flavour more presence than that of the mixed but delivering less nicotine.

Strength: 3/5
Aromatic Taste: 3/5
Room Note: 3/5

1x 10g Mac Baren Cube

To begin, you'll get volumes of tasty smoke that will land your imagination in the Caribbean or Hawaii, with mango, papaya, coconut... The flavours develop as you smoke through the bowl, giving rise to the tobaccos that support and make up this blend.

Grassy Virginias, nutty Burley and woody Kentucky present themselves, mingle and dance with the tropical scent to transport you around the island paradises. Sweet fruity Cavendish give raisin and deeper darker fruit essence. You come to the end of your pipe and caramel is detectable.

Thoroughly burned, grey ash is easy to empty, leaving you with satisfaction and a smile. If you smoke this regularly you'll benefit from dedicating a pipe to it.

Strength: 3/5
Aromatic Taste: 3/5
Room Note: 5/5

1x 10g Century USA VC Blend (Vanilla Custard Cream)

VC Blend is a combo of Burley, Virginia & Black Cavendish which ensures a flavour of Custard Cream

Strength: 3/5
Aromatic Taste: 3/5
Room Note: 4/5

Firstly - these smell FANTASTIC. They're all quite sweet, lightly creamy, deliciously floral, scent-wise. Though the actual flavour of the smoke isn't as reminiscent of the smell of the tobacco as I'd hoped (though I've since come to learn this is typical of aromatic flavours overall) they are still very, very tasty smokes. I found them to be a great introduction to pipe smoking as they're very forgiving, accessible, and easy to work with in terms of moistness, texture consistency, ready-to-use, and very easy to pack and keep ignited - especially once I discovered the spiral-palm packing method, and the "breathing" method for smoking - the whole process became a breeze (excuse the pun). As long as you're not smoking your pipe too hot (another learned skill of pipe-smoking I quickly found out) there's no harshness or overpowering notes... compared to some others I tried (eg the 'Nothing But Flake' sampler) which were much more of an acquired taste (and texture). If I had a complaint (which I don't, if I'm honest) - it's that no single flavour stuck out for me above the other three in order to have a definite favourite overall. However, the nougat blend I definitely got through the quickest, which may be a good sign :) Can't go wrong with the price either. "Beginners Selection" couldn't be more true - though that doesn't mean they're overly simplistic and would be unappealing to a seasoned smoker either. I would certainly buy again, but I'm gonna branch out and explore a few more different flavour profiles before I do. (Funny side-note: the smell of the raw tobacco was so distinctively aromatic and appealing that, as soon as I opened the pouch, a friend even asked for a pinch of the Gold for his hand-rolled cigarette, and surprisingly he didn't complain of any harshness despite inhaling the cigarette (FYI: you shouldn't inhale pipe tobacco lol))
