My favorite.. like nothing else..
September 12, 2018
Product: Newminster No.403 Superior Round Slices Bulk
I keep around 10 blends in my rotation but this is my favorite. Some people liken it to the current (orange) version of Three Nuns but I beg to differ. Both Three Nuns and 403 share similar ingredients but they taste different. The dark fired Kentuck... Read More
y in 403 is not what we are used to tasting in the likes of Orlik DSK, HH ODF, you name it - it provides a serious dose of woodsy spice, almost bordering on a good Dijon mustard in the retrohale. The tin note is almost identical to Wheaties cereal. The taste profile is built upon the sweetness of the top quality and grassy VAs, which provide a very balanced and consistent sweetness in the background, with pops of delightful brown sugar taste every now and then. Somewhat forgiving to indulgent puffing, but still at its best when sipped. Never bites or gets bitter if packed right (loosely) - and for me the only way the pack this tobacco is to asymmetrically stack a few coins, roll and then stuff with the bottom half less dense and the top of the bowl denser. Oldest I've smoked had 6 months of aging in the jar with no mind-blowing improvement but I suspect it will improve with more time. If you want a tobacco with balanced sweetness and serious woodsy spice, then look no further. Happy smokes everyone! Read Less
Great flavors that move around a little

Product: Newminster No.403 Superior Round Slices Bulk
[Tin/bag - Not much of any smell. Maybe faint bown sugar along with some faint old shoe. Neat, smaller coins with easy preparation for stacking them in, rolling them and stuff, or rub out too. Perfect moisture, ready to smoke.]

it seems - nurse slowly. Little bit of yellow grass Virginias on light... nice room note of virginia. Got real hot at the top of bowl with a strong second light. Mostly getting Virginias and especially so in the after taste. Tad of aromatic, and then some burn retro (Kentucky?). Virginia forward... yeup. A few lights later, aromatic. More aromaticness 5/8 bowl, then a little Kentucky Dark. No real Virginias towards the end, then all of a sudden there were some. A slight mouthwatering sour from the Dark Fired on a couple of draws too. Then a little later also got some nice sweetness. Good stuff, carries flavor to the end of bowl along with quite a bit of heat, down to a fine white and grey ash, left a small dottle. I did get a couple moisture pops at 3/4 bowl with steady small sipping, it did clear up when I backed off even more. A few bowls, and I feel I could get bitten up a little, though I seemed to manage with just an edginess of bite. Just be careful as the heat builds easily. I am ordering more to keep on hand. ◄7/10✠Skulls► Read Less

提前看了评论没有报太大期望,点火前段就是v草甜味,中段开始k草发力,劲道、烟气量、饱满度都提升起来,酸甜可口,一斗下来感觉超出预期,只是后段劲道有点大,而且迷之频繁熄火,作为一款散草价格不算便宜,过段时间会再试一下。

Product: Newminster No.403 Superior Round Slices Bulk
When I first tried this, I enjoyed it a lot. A bit sharp around the edges, fresh, for my taste buds the DF over-took the VA, but I enjoyed it enough to order 1lb and jar for aging. My what a difference time can make with some blends. In the genre of ... Read More
McB roll-cake or 3Nuns.. but I think better. After two years aging the sharp edges are gone. The Dark Fired backs off and the VA's really come into their own. Natural subtle sweetness, DF for body and a bit of strength. Even the tin note completely changed after age. A wonderful sweet and sour flavor / aroma. Room note is quite pleasant. Burns all the way down to just a slight dottle and a nice silver ash. Retro is pleasant, burns cool and consistent.
All in all, was good before, is great now. It's been a bit since I ordered, hopefully the recipe hasn't changed. I'm inclined to jar up a few pounds of this for aging. If you're one that found the DF too strong, don't toss it out, just seal it up good and give it some time. Read Less

整叶的叶杆很多,看似很干但有湿度,比丝带要多点几次。到手试抽舒顺平滑,丝毫不辣舌,但味道层次比较单一。有能感觉的甜度,但甜度不高。出于对牛眼的偏爱,应该会再买。

ally, brilliantly, but then... about halfway through, it sours... bad. A chemical taste takes over. My solution for the remaining ounces of this that I have: Just smoke the first half and dump the rest. Too bad. For those that say it is similar to Three Nuns (pretending for a moment that my first complaint was not a problem): I think the same thing until I smoke Three Nuns again and realize that there really is "None Nicer". Still, 3 stars for the majestic first half. Also, it burns hot as hades. Read Less

Peppery and a little rough
February 13, 2020
Product: Newminster No.403 Superior Round Slices Bulk
I decided to try an ounce of this one. Tin note is very miniscule, you get a light grassy smell from the Virginias. As for flavor, it's very smokey and peppery at first, and can be harsh on the tongue and palette (I don't usually experience tongue bi... Read More
te with non-aromatics). I'd even say it's a bit rough sometimes. Sometimes the sweetness of the virginias starts to come through in the bottom third or fourth of the bowl, and some bowls are a little too sweet for me. It does mellow a tad in the second half, but the pepper and roughness never really go away. I like strong non-aromatics, but this one isn't just strong; it's a bit harsh. I'll certainly finish what I have and even enjoy it, but I don't think VaPers are my faves. I will say this smoke is great for building a nice clean cake.
EDIT: I'm raising this from 3 to 3.5. I let it sit in a jar for a month. Came back to it and it's a smidge less rough and better tasting. The Virginias are still too sweet at times. If I ever get more of this, I'll cellar it a long time. Read Less

Virginia is slightly offset by the faint hay taste of a VA that was a little more air cured than is the norm. But is nicely offset by the flavor of the dark fired. I can't bring myself to give it more stars because the end flavor where mild but pronounced is also a little sharp. Also it seemed a little dry coming in so I don't think cellaring this batch would do much. I will be getting this again and trying it after a couple years of age go into it but for now it will exist in neutrality. Read Less

urning to it, was instantly embraced by the room note of this Tobak. I literally said “Wow!” in surprise and delight. I do not enjoy nor encourage the consumption of cigarettes: the 200+ additives, the highly addictive nature of the consumption, BUT that first puff, the initial light up, I find incredibly pleasant to the nose: that is what this Tobak smells like: that first light, but for the entire bowl, never descending into the acrid unpleasantness of a modern cigarette. This Tobak also confirms what I have heard: that pure Virginia blends can smell too much like cigarettes and can therefore suffer some stigma by association. Don’t let that daunt you: add two ounces to your cellar. Read Less

wn to the bottom effortlessly.
Smells of fresh hay with only a slight "sour" aroma to it, nothing as pronounced like McClelland. Comes a tad dry, so you need a humidor coin if you pouch it, can easily over-dry.
Little to no bite. Rubs out well, packs well.
Slightly sweet, has a wonderful "tobacco" flavor. Pleasant / non-offensive room note. I don't notice the note, but others seem to enjoy it. Leaves a really nice aftertaste and a lovely ghost.
If I were to only have one tobacco - this would be it. If I were to recommend a tobacco - this would be it. Reminds me a great deal of Orlik golden sliced, only better and more flavorful. Orlik is a fine smoke, but at times can be a little flat. I've not experienced that at all with this. It's as good at the bottom as it is at the top.
Looks like I can stop complaining that Orlik doesn't offer bulk, and I won't have any more orange tins laying about. Read Less
