This "chemistry kit" is THE worse tobacco I have ever smoked.
Tried really hard, but, no way Jose.
What Happened?

Product: Erinmore Erinmore Mixture 100g
I used to enjoy this blend alot, however the tin I purchased last week was a terrible disappointment. The tin note is now very mild and sort of floral and what used to be a medium strength lightly sweet tobacco with a mild "juicy fruit gum"... Read More
; flavour and satisfying tart background, is now virtually tasteless and cigarette like. Perhaps the new owners at STG heeded the often negative comments about this tobacco being sweet and goopy and tone it down --too much! Unfortunately, I will not be buying again. Read Less
Not my cup of tea!
March 30, 2018
Product: Erinmore Erinmore Mixture 100g
This is maybe not even a cup of tea anymore. When a tin carries the name of John Murray on the label the customer gets ideas about what he will get. In this case I couldn't even detect the past greatness. I am left disappointed.
Very good solid , satisfying and balanced smoke!

Are you looking for a balanced blend with some Burley and not too strong but very enjoyable blend? If yes, I will suggest you buy a tin of this and enjoy on a quiet evening with friends over some tea and good company.

All the reviews here are older but I bought a tin of this somewhere (might have been here idk, i would wager I have tested more tobaccos in the last year than anyone not working in the industry and probably more different brands than anyone period in... Read More
the last year. I have hundreds of tins I have bought this year and I just vacuum seal any that I didnt take a liking to and will run back through them later on). Anyway this is probably one of my favorite light aromatics, its not topped heavily at all and is very mellow. All the reviews previous are from 2017 and 18, potentially was a bad year for them or maybe I am just weird.
Just to know what I smoke most to compare tastes.
Stokkebye has several I like. 1897 1957 my favorite two. Then early morning smoke as well.
Cao Eileens Dream is probably the best chocolate-ish aromatic (typical chocolates are pretty bad imo)
Autumn Evening by CD is the best heavy aromatic (maple) and Nutty Irishman is a close runner up for that.
Lane BLWB, Burley and Black, and Light Burley are the bulks I buy locally when I buy.
Burleys are my preference (though this erinmore blend is not heavy on burley at all, its mostly bright virginias, probably 75% virginia.
I have about 20 others that I smoke fairly regularly right now but the above is my preferred taste and this Erinmore blend might be the most different from my typical smokes but its making up about 20% of my bowls I load lately.
Hope this review influences people to give a shot at this blend. I bought a couple more tins today just to set aside. (I buy as if the worlds ending soon and I need a 40 year supply haha) Read Less
Great Blend, Underrated
December 12, 2016
Product: Erinmore Erinmore Mixture 100g
I'm surprised by the general dislike of this blend. I've been smoking it for two years now and enjoy every bowl. I will say that this blend has a tendency to burn quickly, so more frequent tamping is needed. I do not get a pineapple flavour at all. H... Read More
owever, I get the sweetness of the Virginias and there is, to me, a note of grapefruit somewhere in the middle of the bowl. It can burn wet, but overall a go to. Read Less

Not as pronounced as the flake, but still a good strong smoke. A little black cav makes it lighter in their blend.

Ignore The Bad Reviews

Product: Erinmore Erinmore Mixture 100g
This blend may or may not be the same as it once was, most reviewing it have no basis for that comparison anyway. Age changes the old stuff that's still around so dramatically it's of zero value for comparison, and memory... well... let's just say i... Read More
t isn't reliable when you're trying to define flavor and qualities from decades ago.
But...
The current iteration of Erinmore is an exceptionally well-done tobacco. It is bright, refreshing, cool-burning, and maybe one of the best balances of a nuanced and subtle top-note and satisfying natural tobacco flavor. Give it a try and decide for yourself, as you should with most things!
As for me, I like it as an occasional treat and never regret a bowlful! Read Less
Satisfying
April 09, 2020
Product: Erinmore Erinmore Mixture 100g
Not an overly, or even mildly, complex blend. Won't wow you, but will satisfy you if you're looking for a good solid smoke with subtle flavor and a cool burn. Smoked slowly it's quite good!
Takes time. Second time is the charm.

I bought this last year and when I popped the tin and tried a bowl I was overwhelmed by the flavour, in a bad way. I can understand some of the low reviews here. So I relegated it to a mason jar and forgot about it. Yesterday I thought I'd give it a ... Read More
second try and I was pleasantly surprised buy how my opinion has changed. I has a sweet fruity flavour with a floral component that is quite pleasant. It does leave a light sweet flavour in your mouth but it is not chemically. If you are not used to a aromatic blend this may be too much for you. It does have a unique flavour. I'm wondering if the year in my jar helped the blend , possibly. Read Less

One of the few aromatics I actually enjoy.

Product: Erinmore Erinmore Mixture 100g
There isn't much to say about this.. It speaks consistency all around.. it's well made, cut. light well and stays lit. burns cool.. And has a nice room note.. It is way mild than the flakes and a hint of cacao/chocolate that isn't found in the flake

I like this tobacco. Smells fruity, almost like peaches. Smokes nice and tastes good. Pleasantly surprised!

Received this by accident instead of the flake version, however it was a very enjoyable smoke with a nice tin aroma. Definitely recommended.

I first smoked Erinmore Mixture in the late 50s and early 60s. I recently tried a bowlful from a can purportedly packed in 2016. The smoke that I once loved no longer exists. Something precious, the Erinmore sweet flavor, has been lost. Erinmore Mixt... Read More

If you like Erinmore flake, you should like this ribbon cut. It is alot sweeter and a bit milder. The flavour is a bit overdone. I would buy the flake again, but not the mixture.

Impossible for me to understand how anyone can smoke Erinmore. Harsh comment, I know. To me, it just has the oddest flavor and aroma.

Tongue bite with an icky fruity taste. Not for me.
