Solani White and Black Pipe Tobacco 50g Tin

Date Added: Saturday 02 June, 2018 by bill

I tried this years ago when I was looking for a good Latakia blend but thought at the time it was a bit deficient in that department But I included a tin in this month's order and I am glad I did. This is a truly delicious tobacco - you could almost say it is a tobacco-y tobacco in the sense that if there is a topping it is probably tobacco juice... although the added richness is likely due to a toasting process. It is a broken flake so a little moist - no bad thing because it takes the light easily and smokes sweet and cool straight from the tin. The flavours are intriguing... nutty, earthy with hay and a hint of liquorice in the background. It is one of those delightful tobaccos you hope will never end so you sip it gently to make it last longer. Towards the bottom of the bowl there is even a hint of pine... remarkable.
