On opening a new tin the aroma is an interesting one, a light, delicate aroma of hay, honey with a trace of cloves. Its a fine ribbon cut, quality brown & light tobacco. Easy to pack the bowl properly, promising an even smoke all the way through. Burns easily & smoothly with most of the flavour in the first part of the smoke. Thereafter you need to smoke sensitively to get those delicate flavours to come through, so chuggers will not get anything out of this tobacco! In my view it is a good early morning, reflective mood, smoke - in a properly cleaned pipe! You have to smoke it gently to get the nose from it. A tobacco for the experienced & knowledgable pipe smoker I think.
