Well what can i say about this tobacco? When I first opened the tin I was repulsed by the over powering smell of some kind of perfume or really strong Turkish delight! I left it over night then came back to it and the aroma had mellowed. I filled a bowl and tentatively lit up and WOW! What a difference, a beautiful smooth and really pleasant smell arose from the pipe, it tasted damn good too. It took me right back to my childhood when IÂ’d sit on the path outside my family home and wait for the old guy that lives a few doors down to pass by walking his dog and puffing on his pipe, it was that old smell that was rising from my pipe! Just magical, I highly recommend it just donÂ’t be put off by the initial smell when opening the tin. IÂ’ll be ordering more for sure.

More a sup than a smoke as it burns quite hot. Faintly tastes like Bakewell tart but more of a crowd pleaser. Tobacco is pretty decent.

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!

This is a good alternative to some stronger tobaccos. A good, cool, all day smoke.
When I first opened the tin, the tobacco smelt very perfumed, perhaps too much so. But how wrong I was, when I took my first puff I was greeted by the extremely pleasant flavours of vanilla with hazel nut. Sweet, but highly flavoured.
The aroma of this tobacco is phenomenal, powering throughout the room. The scent lasting a long time with hints of sweet and fruity nuts.
This tobacco does have a reputation for “ghosting” your pipe, leaving remnants of the smoke for a long time to come. But, considering the amazing flavour, I don't really see this as a downside as it makes for some very interesting combinations when mixed with other tobaccos.
All in all, this tobacco is best for those who enjoy a lighter more flavourful smoke.

This is the most full bodied of the range. While the strength of the casing isn’t quite as potent as the Grasmere, it more than makes up for it with a base of rich dark tobacco that gives this blend a full, dark chocolatey backbone. Interestingly, there’s also a hint of clove in there which would normally put me off, but I think it works really well with the overall sweetness of the blend. Calum - Turmeaus Chester

Glengary Flake In no way related to the curse word laden David Mamet play Glengarry Glen Ross (film adaption staring Al Pacino) this flake sits at the milder end of the spectrum. It still has some of the floral notes, but with a far sweeter and more delicate taste, with hints of honeydew. We’re straying a little away from the Condor-esque blends here, but it could make for a nice change while you’re waiting for your old favourite to return! This is an good alternative to the Condor range. Calum - Turmeaus Chester
