This is my first rope tobacco as I’m a relative new comer to the world of pipe smoking having moved over from cigars. I am a bit of a puffer with a pipe which can cause problems with aromatics and certain types which get quite hot. This however I found a cool and satisfying smoke. I order a sample first as I wasn’t sure if it would be my cup of tea. On opening the pouch I was greeted with a a dark rope which almost resembled a large cigar in its thickness but squashed and more compressed. It has a smokey smell and also a slight vinegar smell (not unpleasant). I cut off a few slices which fell apart on the cutting board. I decided to break them apart by hand and then chopped the pipe into smaller pieces and began to pack my pipe. Once filled I realised I had packed it too tight for a sufficient draw and repacked again ensuring I had an easy draw through the pipe. I repacked about 3/4 of my original packing when reloading the pipe and lit it up. It took a bit longer than loose tobacco to light but when going it only required a few re-lights through the whole bowl. It is a smokey flavou

A very high quality rich brown flake, pouch note is of milk chocolate, rubs out very well, not too moist, perfect, this isnt at all a overly sweet smoke, almost savoury! A definate chocolate taste is there though, the room note is gorgeous, a real treat and a perfect moisture free delight. Lovely stuff 10/10!

An outstanding tobacco, high quality cut plug of medium/strong strength, easy to rub out, pouch note is very floral and spicy, lights easily and burns well, it has a floral taste, geranium, rose? Highly perfumed, which i really enjoy, the room note is extremely pleasant, definately in my top 5 all time favourites, take your time and enjoy, a very relaxing, slow burning plug, beautiful!

Guantanamera Cristales Cigar - 1 Single
by Christopher
I got one of these in a trial sample pack. I take my hat off as this is a very good. It’s well packed. The construction of the cigar is good. It lights very well with a more mild taste( usually a sweeter preference for myself) but did really enjoy this one. Burn time was about 45 mins. I will definitely being adding this one into my favourite list.

Could of been a 5 star but both of the sticks I got were way to tight, annoying draw which is a shame because their seemed to be a lot of smoke coming outta the lit end and on one of the cigars i had a issue with the rapper not burning properly, but I probably should of let it sit in my humidor a little longer. Apart from that that flavors were great, burn ash and wrapper all looked awesome and I will probably have another at some point in the future!

Gold Block Pipe Tobacco 40g Pouch
by Staff
A lot of people say this is no longer as nice as it used to be. Although I agree I feel as though some of the reviews are slightly harsh. It was a mellow smoke for me with hints of caramel, a nice relaxing smoke in the evening but not something I usually go to.
