Ive tried one of these today and I had to give it up half way as it was too harsh with a bitter after taste! I was recommended to try this by someone who used to smoke them many moons ago and Im afraid I couldnt agree with his positive comments about them. Im still very new to the different strengths and tasting notes of cigars. But this wasnt for me!

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.

Well well well, isnt this special. I really like this! The flavour is amazing. The rum is very smooth and mild, not overpowering. Lurking somewhere in the background but just enough to alter the flake. Im not a massive aromatic lover but love them when done like this, to complement the tobacco not alter it will be getting more next time.

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!
