In my humble opinion this is a lovely tobacco. Not harsh on the tongue no bite just smooth burning. I smoked it from a corn cob as IÂ’m testing several brands so IÂ’m sure this would taste even better coming from a quality pipe. Should you try it though? Yes absolutely put 10gm on your list and give it a try. You wonÂ’t be disappointed.

Received this as a birthday present so thankfully I didn’t waste my money on it, because I got to say, I have never had a more unpleasant smoking experience. For a £21 stick made in the same factory as AJ Fernandez, to say the build and quality control was abysmal would be an understatement. Runs and tunnels on the underside required constant burn corrections and very little if any smoking. Sadly, it was only the final third that resembled a proper cigar, and I could actually smoke and taste it.
Flavour-wise, it was actually a very nice blend but as stated I only got to experience the final third or so. WouldÂ’ve love to be able to try the whole thing.
As my brothers cigar (exact same) was burning just fine, my verdict on the Salomon is that quality control is very very hit and miss. I would avoid the Salomon like the plague and try a different vitola instead. CanÂ’t recommend this one at all.

Looks great displayed on my bar cart and tastes even better.

Fantastic, natural-tasting flavour. The plum and rum interacts with the base tobacco flavours beautifully. One of the best aromatics Ive tried.

Kendal Grasmere Medium Flake Pipe Tobacco (Loose)

A very unusual tobacco in so far as it offers a wonderfully natural smelling floral aroma of geranium, rose and a touch of honey. I was a little concerned that the floral notes would be overpowering but they are in perfect balance with the virginia and burley tobacco, making this a very pleasant (if somewhat unusual) smoke indeed. The room notes are soft and floral with the warmth and richness of the burley and smoothness of the virginia. If you are looking for a tobacco to blend with herbs/flowers for medicinal or other purposes, this is certainly worth a try.

This, for me, is a very nostalgic smoke. The dark, burnt tobacco awakens recollection of locomotives arriving at the platform wreathed in the smoke from Welsh steam coal or that sweet charcoal smell of pubs with open fires and pipe-smokers gathered round. Strong and delicious
