About This Pipe Tobacco

This fine tobacco originally had no name. It was blended before the first World War especially for the Very Reverend Dr. John White, sometime minister of the Barony Kirk in Glasgow and Moderator of the General Assembly in Scotland in 1929. He introduced it to Stanley Baldwin, later Earl Baldwin, Prime Minister in 1923, 1924, and 1935. He liked it so much that regular supplies were sent down to him and it was he who suggested that it be called "Presbyterian Mixture." A a pipe tobacco Presbyterian mixture is an English blend with a light application of Latakia combined with Orientals and Virginias.

This makes me mourn a Fallen Friend

Product: Presbyterian Presbyterian 50g
I agree with Raymond P. and Pascal V. below. When the former owner/blender sold this in the tins, I would have rated this at 4.5 or 5 stars. I considered this one of the best "showcase" blends for Orientals available. I prized it highly and smoked pounds of it.

I had not bought this in awhil
e, since I had so much put away. But as my supply dwindled, I went looking for the tins. Gone. Everywhere, gone.

So I finally tried a pouch. Total disbelief! So poor. Yes, it is smokeable. I didn't throw it out. But it has lost much of its flavor and incense-like quality.

I won't be buying any more. But if I live another five years (I'm 70), I might try another pouch. If there is any justice, STG will sell this to a company that will truly follow the old recipe and put it back into tins.

I've lost about a dozen of my favorite blends to being discontinued by Scandinavian Tobacco Group's acquisitions (and greed). But I didn't see this coming.

An amazing, approachable, and balanced English. Orientals here are light and floral, and blend nicely in the mix with the smokiness and richness of the latakia and virginia. This is a great starter English, but has remained in my rotation for decadea.

For anyone wondering, the pouch isn't *quite*
the same as the tin, but its close enough to count....Read More
It’s a real English

I think to enjoy this good English blend very well, you need to become a seasoned pipe smoker. It’s a manly smoke, there is no nonsense is going on here with this blend , it’s a real good English blend. It’s not a morning blend for sure , it has some spicy in it , I don’t call it all day smoke for sure . For me I enjoy smoke in it once in while, specially for very cold and snowy days and nights....Read More

Not what it used to be by a long shot

Very coarse cut and not well blended. Wads of latakia needing cutting with sissors and then mixing the lot in a valet before storing in a mason jar.

The initial light in the bowl bring forth expectations of what this blend used to be. And while hope springs eternal throughout the bowl, the tongu
e bite kicks in making for an unpleasant overal experience.

I'll revisit in a couple of years hoping that STG finally gets the recipe right, but for now, this is not on my shopping list.
