Robert McConnell Maduro Superb Pipe Tobacco 50g Tin

Date Added: Wednesday 30 June, 2021 by Shaun

Im a relatively new smoker, and have been subscribed to the pipe tobacco subscription for a few months now. A sample of this was included a month or two back, and this is the first of the ~20 or so blends Ive tried that Ive gone ahead and purchased a full tin of once Ive exhausted my stock. Its a beautiful dark tobacco that smells like a rich christmas pudding in the tin. The smoke itself is mild, particulary at first, and the flavour overall is like sipping on a spiced rum. It does gets a little sharper and spicier as you go. Ive seen other reviews about the internet descriping this one as bland, but I dont agree with that characterisation. I find slowly puffing on this one to be a particular relaxing experiance. Perhaps easy-going would be a better description, and Im glad a sample of this one found its way into the subscription box to establish itself as one of my favourites.
