Newminster's blend No.1, All Natural, is a straight cut Cavendish blend consisting of quality mild flue-cured Virginia
tobaccos from South America. The natural mildness and a light, sweet aroma is what makes this blend exceptional.
This tobacco is very good ,I have tried others and none of them come close to this one.I have been buying an off brand,at first it was OK but now has a bad after taste.I am going to stick with this one from now on.
I don't read or put much stock in these reviews, as they're so subjective. One person says too wet, the next says too dry, one, no bite, the next, awfully biting. But I do write a few reviews, for those that enjoy reading them, and because I've alway... Read Mores enjoyed putting my thoughts on paper. Or what serves as paper these days.
So anyway, this is a very pleasant tobacco for those that enjoy a natural tobacco experience. I particularly like the broken flake cut, as it packs and burns very well. I get no bite at all, yet plenty of good flavor. Maybe this is what some of those "pouch" OTC tobaccos, like Sail Natural and Troost, should aspire to? This is nothing fancy or unusually outstanding, but always a very nice, dependable smoke, and I heartily recommend it to any smoker, be they beginner or old salt. Read Less
I normally order 400 flake from NEWMINSTER and had some of this added to my order during the last sale, I was so impressed by this that I ordered more straight away before sale finished, this is why, it's lovely by itself, you could smoke it all day,... Read More you can jazz it up with ARO'S or add some MACBARENS dark fired for a full strenghth smoke, also goes well with NEWMINSTER round slices, I have mason jarred some up to surprise me in the future, as a tobacco that has just arrived, I like this more than 400 to smoke straight away, a great flake at a more than fair price, what more could you ask for, greetings from, Adelaide, South Australia.

I really enjoy this tobacco. After about 6 months age on it, it became quite "swampy". Not Bad, just sort of "down by the river" tasting. I will buy more because I sort of like the fermented "swamp" taste. It fills the nostrils with a nice olfacto... Read Morery sensation. Straight tobacco taste.
*Update* This tobacco has continued to age marvelously and is now incredible. No swampy taste at all. It has developed small, fine crystals similar to those that develop on aged cigars. Read Less
