SG Perfection! Is it? Well it’s pretty darn close. SG really nailed the proportions on this blend and the quality. The aroma out of the tin is amazing, if you like oriental blends this really is a must. The vanilla is hiding in the background popping up only to sweeten the bowl ever so slightly. It complements the Latakia perfectly, marrying the different tobaccos into....... well, perfection.
Before you pack your bowl take the time to handle it and take in the beautiful aromas and then sit back and enjoy. Goes great with a glass of rum or whisky, or not.

I’ll be honest, I was kinda looking for a pipe tobacco that had that “French” cigarette taste to it and I thought this might be it. It’s not, but that’s not to say I was disappointed. There’s a rich warmth to the Latakia and it’s given a spicy edge by the Izmir, however it’s blended so that all the tobaccos have their say without shouting over each other. Personally I prefer this in a small bowl not because it’s too strong but because it’s all you need to get everything out of this (my opinion only) also I’m a bit of a puffer and that can make the last of a big bowl a little bitter for me personally. I’m gonna try this half and half with SG Perfection, I think it’ll be very interesting.

This is easily one of my favourite tobaccos, the smell is quite overwhelming but when you start smoking you get a dark, dry taste with a hint of fruit. It was a smooth and delightful smoke and I will have to try this one again.

"Bombs away Ginger" what can I say, a very nice smooth tasting tobacco, smokes nicely in the bowl, has a wonderful spicy room note, goes well with a cup of Earl Grey or Redbush.

Promoted to 5 *****: This tobacco has to be one of the finest if not the best tobacco I have ever had the pleasure of smoking. The (soapy taste) is absolutely amazing, any that know about tobacco in general should know that the (soapy taste) is a signature of quality in a superior product. An all day smoke for sure. Definitely has NO1 spot in my rotation (0_-)
