This is an odd one for me, when I first tried years ago I didn't get it (vs all the more exotics) But it's available over counter so pick it up sometimes Anyway, over time I've really come to enjoy this one -- it can take a bit to get going as it's got some moistness but it's a really solid smoke A lot of depth in flavour, strong and very pleasant -- a reliable workhorse As I've bought less exotics over time this has become one of the main baccies I reach for -- but I had to exhaust all the other options to really appreciate it

A proper old school pipe tobacco. Having tried most of the old Dunhill range and various Kendal loose selections, I decided to try an old well-known brand. The strange off-putting smell when you first open it comes from the traditional vinegar they use as a natural preservative. I let the flakes breathe for half an hour before transferring to a small jar. Two whole flakes is almost perfect for my slightly larger than normal Rattray, a little less in my Peterson. It certainly has a unique flavour and packs a punch of nicotine. Its a proper, reasonably cool burning, tobacco tasting tobacco. Just be sure to let it air out the unpleasant vinegary aroma before you attempt this one!

St Bruno is a firm favourite of mine. Fairly earthy smoke with some citrus flavours. Pleasant after taste and leaves a nice aroma in the room. Highly recommended
