Sillem's: Black 100g Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-397-0002

Extravagant is the right word to characterize this mixture. We have revolutionized the traditional old English art of blending. The main ingredient is the finest spicy smoky Latakia. By adding highly aromatic Black Cavendish, this blend becomes smoother. A small portion of Burley gives a slight toasted aroma, and a pinch of bright Virginia brings a subtle sweet note. Mellow, but yet full-bodied aromas of honey and fruit essences result in a unique flavor. This tobacco will surely be a delight.

Wow!

Very interesting smoke. The Latakia is very strong in the tin note but doesn’t roll you over when you smoke it. Great balance. Wow, I just wasn’t expecting that.
Not for me, maybe you?

So this blend did what a lot of Latakia blends do, smelled like potpourri when you open the tin And then just a little too much floral and soapiness for me. It's not bad but it's certainly not something I'm going to reach for when I want to smoke.
Rare and Interesting

It is very rare that a tobacco straddles the line between aromatic and non-aromatic, while still doing both well. This one does it somehow. It has great tobacco - spicy, sharp, creamy, round, nutty, sweet, smoky, just full of tobacco flavor. And it also does the aromatic thing very well too, being topped with a fruity, creamy, almost marzipan or amaretto flavor, which does not blur out the tobacco flavors and aromas. If I had to criticize it, I would point out that it's very light in body; I want it to be stronger. It's a lot stronger than the average candy-bomb aro from Sutliff or C&D, but that's not saying much. Smokingpipes rates its strength at a 3 and that's fair. I just wish it were a 4 or 5. It is very good though. It comes in a chunky, rustic ribbon cut but I needed to rub it out still further to fit in my little Peterson 406, a pipe I've dedicated to English aromatics. Moisture is a bit dry and it is tough to keep lit. All in all I definitely recommend it. It lives up to the hype. As good or better than Sillem's Red....Read More
Mixed Feelings

I'm not an experienced smoker yet, but heard that this was a great aromatic to try. Tin is gorgeous, and I do not dislike the tin note. The flavor of the tobacco itself comes through the topping/casings, which is is a good thing. However, the mouthfeel seemed a bit "artificial" to me, and my spouse complained about the room note and found it to be an artificial flavor smell as well. I'll share it with some friends and give it another go, but it's not one I look forward to trying again at this point....Read More
Very comfortable blending

Product: Sillem's Black 100g
The tobacco is generally very dry, and the suction feeling is very good. The overall sweetness is abundant, with the addition of Latakia grass, which slightly stimulates the nose and is very comfortable. After signing, do not wet it back, otherwise the flavor will be completely lost
Ooooo!

This...is fantastic. The End. Seriously though, look no further searching for the perfect crossover/hybrid blend. Much more better blended than something comparable to eastfarthing or independence day.
Smooth, Cool Smoke

I do like English blends, and this one is a keeper. I can’t say it’s strong so much as it is very full-bodied. It does smoke very smooth, and it doesn’t heat the bowl up as quickly as some others I’ve had. If you like English blends, you’ll most certainly like this one.
VERY aromatic

Excellent quality. Good flavor. A must-try for aromatic smokers. Do not smoke it in a pipe that is used for non-aromatic tobacco because the "ghosting" happens and it takes a few bowls of non-aromatic tobacco to remove the ghosting.
Very good if you like Latakia

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 something like marshmallow. Maybe some cherry, hard to tell. I wish it was sold in a smaller tin. I probably won't buy it again, just because I'm not that fond of Latakia, but it's a very good blend....Read More
