Product: Sillem's Black 100g
Light Latakia, honey-sweet aromas of fruit and flowers, perfectly balanced in a beautiful box.
Unfortunately, the Courier smashed the beautiful box

In all honesty, I tend to be leery of aromatics. Granted, that this is an English aromatic the light cherry note did worry me just a bit. The moisture content seems perfect out of the tin, but as others have noted, it was a bit hard to get going. On... Read More
ce it finally caught, it was good to go. As I said this was a delightful smoke. The Latakia comes through smoky smooth and the slight hint of cherry Is a delightful Accent. Read Less
Excellent English Aromatic Crossover
December 29, 2018
Product: Sillem's Black 100g
Wonderful tin note and a great light to medium English blend. Comes off as very well balanced, the aromatic aspect adds a gentle sweetness and interacts and enhances the other component tobaccos. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a repla... Read More
cement for Frog Morton. Personally I found the Frog Morton line to be much too mild for my taste. This blend, in my opinion, is superior in every way and I think would fill the need for anyone looking for a mildish English with a twist. Read Less

All the reviews are spot on. The only thing I may add is, it won't bowl you over in strength. Just sit back and enjoy the marvelous taste and room note. An absolute favorite.

I love this stuff - It has a A Cherry-ish aroma mixed with definite spicy Latakia gives a very unique smoke that’s hard to define - just trust me, it’s awesome.

Wow. What a complex mixture with an amazing aroma. Very mild and subtle taste but it takes time to really pick it apart. I love this blend to bits and will always have some stored in the cellar.
Also.. does anyone else get a strong root beer smell... Read More

Rich & Meaty!
July 12, 2022
Product: Sillem's Black 100g
This one got me from the first bowl! The tin note was great, but the tone of the first few puffs sunk its teeth deep into my nostalgia bone and settled in for a good nibble. It has all the bark of a good English bulldog, but the caressing ‘bite’ is ... Read More
as pleasing as a Carnivale kiss.
From the first puff to the last whiff, it was complex, dynamic, and alluring. My only complaint being that the sweet notes of the Aromatic side of this Witchers coin faded out early…but, they leave you with the sweet comfortable warmth of a quintessential English. The Latakia notes were peppery and rich, complimented perfectly by the tangy virginias, and rounded off by mellow burley vitamin-N brain-chill.
Toss me a coin for this one, because I’m stocking up! Read Less

Okay, maybe eighteen.
I landed on Sillem's Black early in my pipe explorations and it became my go-to smoke. Unlike most aromatics I've tried, this one is consistent from the first puff to the end. My wife doesn't mind the smell and my gothy daugh... Read More
ter is always doing stuff with the empty tins. I've no idea what and intend to keep it that way. I hope this blend never retires, I've no idea how I'd replace it. Or give it the gold watch it deserves. Read Less
Product: Sillem's Black 100g
Awfull, very disappointed that I bought into the hype. Can’t stand whatever it is they are using to artificially flavor this tobacco, it overwhelms the Latakia. English aromatic... no such thing exists.

Aristocratic Aromatic
July 25, 2016
Product: Sillem's Black 100g
Sillem´s Black is a probe that there is a heaven, somewhere, maybe here, but fact.
I agree with the fact that this may be an introduction in the world of Latakia for the sweet toothed out there. Or else an english with a sweeter appeal for the ones... Read More
who love the more robust and matured tobaccos, in either case, this is a sublime blend, exquisite, sybarite and unique, in a word, aristocratic.
A thing is for certain, this blend is perfect and unique, it has managed to balance the serious character of an english with the easy going personality of the aromatics without going insane.
It is mild to medium in taste, flavour and strength. I wish it could be stronger in latakia as it comes good. Creamy campfire with circumventing virginia notes of honey, cherries and vanilla. Smokey is robust, with great retrohale and very mild sweet aftertaste on the tongue but incredibly appetising.
One for sure in the list of favourites, ive even dedicated a pipe solely for this one, that good it is! Read Less

Around 20 years ago I asked a guy in Nashville what he was smoking. It was this. Never tried it until now. I can't find any fault with this tobacco. I get mainly Latakia with the other tobaccos in the background, with vanilla, sweetness, a d some... Read More

Try this if you like aromatics
December 27, 2022
Product: Sillem's Black 100g
This is a superb aromatic. The topping is the star, and it is pleasantly sweet-like, similar to a good pastry containing fruit and vanilla. Delicious. I usually smoke English and VaPer and I like this for a change of taste. This tobacco does "gh... Read More

What a pleasant surprise this blend turned out to be. The tin note is smokey and exotic. The room note is quite pleasant. The Latakia is the main player here, but is perfectly balanced with the other tobaccos. This blend pairs well with a quality bur... Read More

Product: Sillem's Black 100g
My very first reaction when I lit my first bowl of this.... This is Sutliff Z71 Vanilla Custard.... For me the aromatic quality completely takes over. I can't even taste the latakia. English blends are my favorite. I had high hopes for this one. At l... Read More
east I got a cool tin out of it. But, that being said. Even though the aromatic quality is too overpowering for my taste, it is not unpleasant. As far as aromatic tobacco goes, I do enjoy this blend. I've been smoking a pipe for a little more than 3 years now, and my personal journey has led me away from aromatics. I still have to give it 4 stars, as ultimately I am trying to ignore my personal bias and give a fair opinion. Read Less

最喜欢的烟草，给人的感觉就只有两个字——高级。醇而不腻，柔而不淡，所有烟草的味道都做到一种恰到好处的平衡。不辣喉舌，烟气很顺滑，晕室则更加出色，即便是不会吸烟的女士，也依然很喜欢这个味道。总之，这款草就只有两个字——高级。

Top Notch Blend

Product: Sillem's Black 100g

This is almost mysterious stuff. Complex and intriguing. I cut it 50/50 with Molto Dolce for my favorite all day aromatic. Smooth but not too weak, wonderful room note.

s strong just like it smells.. i took a step back when i lit it, it's Potent!!! to say the least... sipping this you'll definitely taste the sweet and cavendish , so much so, it feels like a tongue depresser in the back of your throat .. smoke it fast and you get the latakia (spicy and campfire) with all the sweet.. this stuff is wild!.. people around you will love the smell of this .. if you are a regular aromatic smoker, you must try this... if you're like me and love the latakia bombs, this is a different animal .. one tin is enough for me, but i can see why people want this stuff by the case.
