Presbyterian: Presbyterian 50g Pipe Tobacco
Product Number: 003-054-0001
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.

Life doesn't get much better than this!

llection.
I love everything about Presbyterian, starting with opening the tin, feasting my eyes on the coarsely cut mixture of bright and dark leaves. This is accompanied by the delicious musty, earthy, and spicy aroma. The cut is ideal for the way I fill my pipe (similar, but not identical, to the 'air pocket' method).
The tobacco lights easily, even when slightly moist from a freshly opened tin. When it has dried out just a little, it can be smoked all the way down from the first light, although I would rarely smoke a bowl in one sitting; that is no problem though, as it maintains its delicious taste and aroma, even after cooling down and sitting for some time before a relight.
As a lover of Orientals, I find these tobaccos to be the star of the show, perfectly complemented by the Latakia and Virginia. I have always loved Latakia, and still do, but these days I prefer its use as a condiment rather than a major ingredient (as found in many English and Balkan blends); and in this regard, Presbyterian really shines. The components combine to give the tobacco a somewhat sweet, almost aromatic note, but one can sense that it is all natural, without any casing or flavoring.
I love retro-haling, and this brings out even more flavors, adding a delightfully pungent note to the smoke; and to me that must be Presbytarian's greatest achievement - providing so many delicious flavors without resorting to anything artificial.
As a previous reviewer has mentioned, my main regret is the fact that it is not available in bulk.

This is a top notch tobacco; it’s earthy, smoky, spicy and just a little sour. I think it benefits from a hour of drying time, just to let it breathe a bit. This is my go-to blend for a latakia and oriental English blend.

tobacco in the tin and subject it to prolonged heat (like leaving it in a hot car, for instance).
The best thing to do once you receive this tobacco is just to throw it in a Mason jar. Problem solved.
That said, the plastic sleeve probably does a better job of preserving the moisture content of the tobacco while it's still in the tin, as compared to paper sleeves.
2. This blend tastes best aged! I can't stress it enough. I encourage you to compare for yourself, but believe me when I say that the taste of this blend is strong at first. It's much smoother and more enjoyable once it's had a chance to mellow out a bit.
All said, give Presby a try. If you don't like it at first, try it again once it's had a chance to age and you'll probably change your mind. Read Less

Set My Palate Ablaze & I Became A Fire-Breathing Dragon
May 26, 2019

Product: Presbyterian Presbyterian 50g
least four stars... is it because they're Presbyterian & felt compelled? Still, there were objectional reviews as well. I finally broke down & purchased a tin & concur with those who claimed it had some bite... it set my palate ablaze. Whether it contains Latakia or some specially treated Virginia concoction is academic. Taste, flavor?... the tin I received had none. My tin created severe chemical burn. Just a flavorless burning of something like fallen leaves from a Red Oak tree & didn't even taste like tobacco of any kind. I found very few redeeming or alluring qualities in this mixture & found it to be lacking in flavor, smoke volume, aroma & it was really wimpy in the Vitamin N department. I found the room note to be objectionable... similar to a pile of burning leaves. It smoked the same from start to finish & had an extremely fast burning rate. A full bowl didn't last very long & my Cavicchi felt raped. What I'm unable to fathom is that almost half the ratings received four to five stars. You wonder how this can possibly happen but here we are at the most divisive opinions of any blend that's been reviewed. Did I receive a tin of "road apple" or cow patty mixed with dried leaves instead of tobacco? This is the most God-awful tobacco I've ever stoked into a pipe bowl. I wouldn't even consider giving this away for fear of reprisal. Obviously, the British Prime Minister, Stanley Baldwin didn't know what tobacco was supposed to taste like. Rather than send it back as a faulty mixture, I simply trashed it but regret not sending it back to be analyzed. Never again will I trust ratings. I'll simply stick to my favorites! It rates zero IMHO but the lowest rating available is 1/2 star & so, I was forced to settle on that. Read Less

itial few puffs when a skunk ran past me. I put the bowl out and went back inside. Second time I tried it, it was a freezing cold night and I was almost racing through the bowl to get back inside and warm up. Then one night, I brought some to a wedding with my Ropp pipe, which has a smaller chamber than most of my pipes. I hastily packed a bowl and went outside while my friends smoked cigars. This time, the weather was right, there was no skunk, and I chose the right bowl. It was a great smoke, and I've been enjoying it ever since. It smelled so good that one of my friends expressed an interest in pipe smoking, so I recently gifted a tin of it to him, along with a corn cob pipe. I bought another tin for myself to cellar, and will enjoy this on special occasions from henceforth. Read Less

notable Latakia. There was also quite a bit of flavor, with the musty and spicy orientals way out front with the Latakia and Virginia adding notable depth and flavor. Presbyterian has a flavor profile that reminds me of John Cotton numbers 1 and 2 , except with slightly more Latakia presence and as a result less musty and spicy orientals flavor. Mild medium in strength and nicotine, this one can definitely be smoked all day in my opinion. Maybe I got lucky with my tin, I don't know, but I enjoyed the smoke and look forward to smoking more soon. Read Less

crave. I like to turn to English blends to satisfy the moment.
History (found elsewhere online): This fine tobacco originally had no name. It was blended before the first World War especially for the Very Rev. 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".
Interesting fact, Latakia is simply a smoke -cured Oriental. Any smoked-cured leaf, can give you the smokey creaminess we associate with Latakia. According to Pipestuds review, there's no Latakia in this mix. This site, and all the online retailers, disagree with this assertion.
I've smoked loads of English brands and love the blend genera. It's hard to pinpoint, but Presbyterian has a subtle flavor, though not unique in an English, it still somehow smokes uniquely. It consistently delivers just the right amount, of one particular note from the English taste profile, that appeals to me (the front note of olive/smokey butter). It bites a bit if you are on a short pipe and/or puffing hard. The nicotine is medium and I have it marked as an all day English. I enjoy the fact that it's a classic and if treated right, has a very satisfying taste. Read Less

Went away for a minute and came back the Virginia was almost gone! The 2nd relight was a fantastic combo of Turkish and latakia with a hint of Virginia sweetness.

that plays well off of the spicy orientals. The Virgina leaf is sweet and after a bowl I find this blend leaves a sweet taste on your pallette. I don't find it cloying, but just the right amount of sweetness. It smokes cool and burns well. The ribbon cut is a nice medium width, with a low number of twiggy bits. With a few of my favorite blends disappearing or getting harder to source, it was very pleasing to find this blend readily available. I hope it remains that way. Read Less

hit of campfire with a little dry time. Very faint hit of vinegar at one point, very faint.]
Little hay/grass after taste on light. Some Latakianess, along with nice milder spiciness from orientals. Some interesting hints here and there that I cannot quite describe - fullness? richness? Very interesting to see the flavor change from slight Virginia to a little more Latakia at start. Hint of the tin leather once in a while. A few after tastes of very mild bitterness a couple times during the bowl. I like Gaslight and Plumb Pudding better for sure, but this is a nice well rounded smoke. Tastes of Virgina with Latakia to the end of bowl. More Latakia and orientals on retrohale. Good easy burn down to fine grey and white ash with no relights needed. Pleasant and no bite with regular puffing cadence.
Beats, Englishes (Luxury, Full, Proper, Oriental Supreme, Presbyterian Match, 10 to Midnight, John Bull, Murray's Belfast), almost ties with (Larry's Blend, Crown Achievement), and does tie/ahead by a nose with (Arango Balkan Supreme). Excellent and tasty any time. ◄8.2/10✠Skulls► Read Less

in the moisture content is just right for packing and maybe just needs about 10 minutes drying time in the bowl before she is ready to enjoy. Overall flavor and mixture is spot on. Every time I light it up I can't help but turn on the classic movie channel and think of what it would be like when this was first released. The only real problem I have with this blend is not the blend itself but the packaging inside of the tin. The tin and the inside top plate are spot on the way that they need to be but and here comes the but, the plastic bag that it is wrapped in inside of the tin makes it to where I have to jar it the moment I open it and makes cellaring long term inside of the tin kind of sketchy at most. Either way it only takes to minutes to pack it into a half pint mason jar so it is really no big deal. A plastic bag will not stop me from enjoying this little gem of a blend. So if you look at most of the reviews on here most people are just waiting for it to be back in stock. I know I am. Give her a try and you will be to. Read Less

Latakia here blends perfectly with the Orientals and Virginias, instead of being the most pronounced flavor. I've since revisited those first couple blends and several other bolder English mixtures, and now I can much better appreciate the Latakia. The stronger stuff is still not my preferred style, but I do really enjoy them when I'm in the right mood. But I could happily smoke Presbyterian all day every day. It's a favorite that I find myself reaching for several times a week. Read Less

nd I look forward to it every time I open the jar or tin. The initial tin note is savory with some smokiness. The retrohale is very floral/spicy. It’s where you get a lot of the oriental profile. Otherwise it’s a very moderate and easy smoke. Easily an all day smoke. Plenty of smoke and and wonderful “beard scent.” There’s a reason it’s one of the old faithful tobaccos. If you’ve never tried it, you owe it to yourself to get a tin. Read Less

it here after so long. For all pine pitch aroma however, the blend was not latikia forward. This disappointed me because I really wanted it to be the typical lar bomb English. Seemed rather light. Bit there was this special flavor and aroma pouring through that mixture of orientals, Virginia and condiment latikia. That flavor was irreplaceable in my cellar of tobacco. I started to reach for the PM every time I wanted an English. It was magic. Only PM afforded me that fine, mellow incense and sweet/savory flavor. An exotic flavor that I invite you to try. Just don't expect an oily lat bomb. This is a tobacco of refinement that settles on your palate the more you smoke. Read Less

The Spice Melange
January 18, 2022
By:
Jason K.
Product: Presbyterian Presbyterian 50g
I find it as wholesome as a smoke can be with a distinct lack of acrimony, so to speak. It is a somewhat enigmatic, but delicious and scintillating experience: shape shifting, but also somehow consistent. It’s creamy, smooth and mild with complex subtly, while equally forward with fruity, spicy and astringent characteristics. This contrapuntal relationship works and adds to the interest and enjoyment.
Tin note: Floral, Heather, Dried fruit, Figs, Leather.
Cut and feel: Coarse cut, large strands of bright and golden leaf, smaller roughly cut Orientals with some small stems, and specked with small chunks of latakia. Acceptable moisture level out of the tin. Could be smoked immediately, but thirty minutes to an hour of drying time is probably preferable to avoid excessive relights.
Loading and Burning characteristics: Loads easily in twisted clumps and can be moderately to heavily packed if desired with no adverse effect. Burns easily and somewhat evenly to specked white ash with no harshness or bite. Requires few relights. Leaves little to minor moisture in the bowl depending on drying time and smoking cadence. Smoke is of average density verging on thin and wispy, but consistent and enjoyable.
Flavor: Freshly baked and buttered bread is predominant, mild sweetness with pronounced spice that comes and goes in intensity, but does linger on lips and tongue. (I think newbie’s have confused this for tongue bite in other reviews).
Scent/Retrohale: Apricots, Fresh Linens, Baked Goods, slight astringent undertone that is not unpleasant.
Mouth feel: Light and uplifting, lingering spice and fruit.
Room note: Baked Goods.
Nic hit: Low but noticeable and smooth around 3/4 through the bowl. Read Less
Virginia Forward

hmallowy. It smells of flavored cavendish, even though there’s none in it. The yellow/golden Virginias are incredibly mellow and very sweet. The latakia “tips” are barely present, just enough to lend the definitively English character. And the orientals are hardly present either. I’m not really sure how I feel about it. It’s almost a hundred years old so a lot of people love it. It’s different now because Mac Baren makes it, but people still love it. I guess it would be great if you couldn’t decide whether you wanted a Virginia blend or an English one, because this one straddles the line. Read Less

A Heavenly Mix Produced For Over A Century...For Good Reason!
October 12, 2020
Product: Presbyterian Presbyterian 50g
a fine blend of tobacco. And Earl Baldwin knew a winner when he puffed one!
The first thing that might strike you upon cracking the tin is the plentiful bright, light golden ribbons of Virginia. I can’t recall seeing an English so predominantly light golden. The second greatest share of ribbons are the jet black Latakia. The smallest of the three portions consists of the tan-colored Orientals. A very beautiful blend to the eye.
The Latakia always remains present in the mild flavor, and the generous amount of Virginias ensure sweetness. But it’s the Orientals, despite their very modest proportion, that steal the show here, playing in your mouth with a woodsy mellowness.
Presbyterian lives up to its reputation as a medium-bodied, medium strength blend that serves as a fitting introduction to a fledgling piper’s exploration of English. And while I don’t fancy Presbyterian quite as much as a few other English mixtures, like SPC’s Plum Pudding, Peterson’s Nightcap and Cornell and Diehl’s Super Balkan, Presbyterian holds a respectable spot in that cluster of choice blends jockeying for first place in the English section of my cellar. It’s supremely easy to smoke, and can serve as an all-day to those whose tastes veer English-ward. 4.5 stars. Read Less
Manufacturer has changed!
October 06, 2020
By:
Ford M.
Product: Presbyterian Presbyterian 50g
astic bag has been replaced with generic accordion folded paper with a cardboard cover.
Upon emptying the tin into a large glass bowl I found that the cut of the tobacco is completely different. Where the old Presbyterian was a wide short ribbon, as if a single layer from a large cube cut. The new cut is quite a bit longer and narrower, which makes packing quite different from the old cut. The makeup of tobaccos seems to have changed as well, with not as much lighter leaf and more of a darker leaf.
On to smoking a bowl, and I was quite surprised at the difference. The moisture content has changed - the new Presbyterian is tinned quite a bit moister than the old and pressed heavily into the tin. Not thinking there would be much of a difference, I packed a pipe and lit up. I found two important differences. Even with a little (10 minutes) drying time the new Presbyterian required numerous relights where the old variety required very few. But the main difference was in the taste. Presbyterian from Planta had a nutty aroma and taste from the first light, settling g down to a mild English flavor as the bowl progressed. The nutty taste and aroma is gone from this new Presbyterian, re[placed by a nondescript mild to middling English taste with nothing to distinguish it from numerous others.
If you haven’t smoked Planta’s version of Presbyterian then Mac Baren’s version may be your cup of tea. It certainly isn’t mine. Early Morning Pipe, both the old and current versions, is cut from the same general taste category other than the nuttiness, and is a far better suited to my taste buds type of smoke.
Try the new Presbyterian, you may find it hits the mark for you. I’ll hoard my remaining tins of the Planta variety and do just fine with them and E.M.P. when those run out. Read Less

Product: Presbyterian Presbyterian 50g
e bat that this was a great decision. I'll also cut to the chase and declare that I have fallen in love with this blend. Why? Well, it just tastes so good! OK, I'll elaborate some. Presbyterian Mixture comes in a round tin of 50 grams (1.75 ounces). Upon opening the tin, the tobacco is contained in a plastic wrapper. The tobacco itself has an overall golden-brown color. The cut is a mixture of short ribbons, small chunks and flat little flakelets. The tin note is decidedly English. I'm not always that good at picking out all the various nuanced fragrances in a tin note- essence of tartar sauce, aromatic elderberry, wafts of peat moss, and… well, you get the idea. But my nose can always detect one thing very reliably in a tobacco: latakia. Even in the part per million range. And friends there absolutely, positively IS latakia in Presbyterian Mixture! Unquestionably. Besides, the manufacturer's info says there are latakia tips in it. Why would they lie? Anyway, I also could pick up some of the grassy notes of the Virginia and the slightly sour/floral notes of the orientals. It's intriguing. The blend loads and packs easily, and I think the moisture was just about spot on. Of course, maybe a few minutes of drying might suit your tastes, but I don't think it needs more than that. Upon lighting, I could immediately taste that little bit of latakia. It is very subdued, but it is definitely there. The Virginia makes itself known with its grassy, hay-like qualities, and adds just the right amount of sweetness. But the star of this blend is the oriental tobacco, in my opinion. I get bursts of a pleasing sourness which weaves in and out of the sweet Virginia, and then a slight floral taste will occasionally peek through. I'm not referring to a Lakeland essence here. I'm not very fond of Lakeland. This floral note is very light and unimposing. It works. The smoke is pretty consistent throughout and if anything gets better down the bowl. Few re-llights are required. The tobacco burns well to a gray-white ash and leaves very little dottle or moisture. Presbyterian Mixture is a very tasty, well-balanced blend. Others tell me the room note is very pleasant, too. It is a light, oriental-forward English blend that I think is a very suitable summer blend. The nicotine hit is fairly mild. Easily an all-day blend for me. Yes, Presbyterian Mixture is a deliciously religious experience! Definitely going into my top five blends. Highly recommended! Read Less

In fact I smoked two bowls back to back HA! Best tasting oriental blend I've had. Just the right amount of Latakia for a hint of smokiness, and a foundation balance of Virginia.
