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

Kendal Grasmere Medium Flake Pipe Tobacco (Loose)
by GENEVIEVE
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.

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.

Fantastic smoke tastes just like cherry brandy and the smell is fantastic

Very leafy and compact, if you like a strong but cool smoke of a leathery nature this may be for you. I found it very enjoyable

A beautiful tobacco to say the least, such a comforting rewarding mellow smoke, my new favourite.
