Solani Silver Flake Blend 660 Pipe Tobacco 100g Tin

Date Added: Sunday 02 September, 2018 by bill

It may or may not be true that some tobaccos favour
particular pipes... hmm... but it is true that a tobacco
that tastes wonderful one day can seem bland the
next. A curious phenomenon possibly to do with
biorhythms... maybe?

Whatever the reason I like to write reviews on a good
day - like today. I always enjoy Solani blends but
have put off trying Silver Flake in case I didn’t like it
and got stuck with a 100gm tin. Needn’t have
worried. The flake is folded into a neat clump and
separates easily, smells great, packs and lights
effortlessly and tastes of fine Virginia and Kentucky leaf.

I am on my second bowl this morning and looking
forward to a third. There is no topping that I can detect - just the taste of good pure tobacco. So why is it not a great blend? Hard to say - it is certainly a good smoke but lacks the character that would make it truly remarkable.
