Ashton: Gold Rush 50g Pipe Tobacco

the topping is definitely noticeable, but goes well with the tobacco's natural flavors. It's light, sweet, and smooth. My new favorite straight virginia. Will be buying more with my next order

I've spent all these years putting Gold Rush on the back burner just to find out ive been missing out? This stuff is great. The topping works so well with the virginias while still tasting like tobacco. Sweet, creamy, spicy, and citrus. Medium bodied. Burns cool and clean. No grassy hay crap. This rings a alot of those McClelland bells for me while still retaining its own uniqueness. I'm highly impressed....Read More

Tin note is typical of brighter VA. tobaccos with a slight hint of the topping. Initial light is sweet and bright with just a little bit of evidence of the added citrus. I lean toward brighter flakes (Orlik G.S., 4th Gen. 1989, Newminster VA. flake, etc.) so, overall, this suits me. The ribbon cut packs well even in larger diameter bowls. The burn is easy. Hard puffing can make it hot, but slow and steady is rewarding....Read More

Light, grassy and - yes - lemony leaves which burn smoothly and easily. The tobacco it contains is all Virginia and it is mildly flavored with Lemon and honey.

The mild flavoring is at a perfect level . Its consistently fantastic , though a bit one dimensional , its a damn fine dimension . Mild and refreshing . One of my drop dead favorite Summer blends

Tin note of sugar, spices and mild citrus. Tobacco is a ribbon/broken flake of yellowish tan, brown and a tiny bit of dark brown. Moisture content is ok, some may prefer to dry it a bit. Larger flakes may need to be rubbed out. Burns moderate with few relights. The strength is mild to medium and nic is mild. Flavoring is mild to medium, with notes of honey and lemon. Both are up front in the beginning. Honey dissipates to nothing as the lemon fades to the background fairly quickly where it remains. Taste is mild to medium and mostly consistent, with notes of citrus, lemon grass, sugar sweet, bread, wood, spices, spicy/acidic, earth, floral, dry hay, orange peel/zest, mildly bitter, mildly savory, a vinegary sour fermented fruit background note, and a peppery retro. Virginias are leading with Flavoring supporting. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is good....Read More

Not bad but not great either. Packs easily and burns to a fine grey ash leaving no moisture behind. The taste is kind a cigarette like with some lemon present from time to time. There are much better tobaccos out there to be enjoyed.

Delicious!

Great Virginia !!! My all day smoke! Great work Ashton !
