No Nonsense Smoke

ounce tin. There's only so much you can do with dried leaves. And this dry vegetation is very nice when burned. Slightly sweet. No dry mouth. Nice smell. Burns well. No tongue bite. No acrid aftertaste. I pick up just a hint of cinnamon. If all you want is a clean, no frills boring bowl, Winding Road is for you....Read More

Sweet apricot liqueur

This isn't all that great, but maybe it'll get better with subsequent bowls, or maybe a bigger pipe, I can taste the faint apricot liqueur, but the jury's out, I will update.

Geat Aromatic Blend

Product: Ashton Winding Road 50g
I would not call it a blend between Aromatic to English, however, it is not so heavily topped like some aromtics it is lightly topped allowing tobacco flavors through. No bite notice. The ribbon cut is spot on and perfect. Highly recommend to beginners as it is a friendly tobacco to use and pack. Smokes well in a Rattray's Outlaw Devil Anse as well as larger pipes....Read More

good to go.

Apricot and Caramel. Both flavors don't last long, Carmel a little longer in the background. Taste is mild to medium and consistent, with notes of floral, wood, bread, spices, citrus, hay, mild tart, sweet grassy, mildly spicy, slightly acidic, mild brown sugar, a zesty tangy fruity background note, and a moderate peppery retro. Virginia is leading with minimal support from the Cavendish and Flavoring. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is good....Read More

Great Blend

cely and their sweetness is accentuated by the caramel flavouring - but its never overpowering, its very smooth and pleasant. I got the hints of apricot the first time I smoked the blend, but I seem to lose it the more I smoke it. No problem though, just change out blends and cleanse the palate, then come back to Winding Road. All in all, very pleasant, very smooth, and a lovely smelling blend/smoke....Read More

One of the worst blends of the year for me

This had no flavor. A hint of apricot upon initial light. After the second puff began, goodbye everything. This found it's way straight to my trash can. Avoid it.

Not worth the effort

. The Winding Road went careening downhill from there. The tobacco was extremely moist and sticky in the tin, so much so that I had a hard time scraping it off the cover card. I found it very hard to light and it was truly impossible to keep lit without puffing constantly which quickly overheated my pipe and gave tongue (and throat and gum and roof of mouth) bite. I've tried every drying and packing method I can come up with to get a good smoke from this, including drying for an hour in the pipe, and letting it sit overnight on a paper towel. Even dry as a bone it would not stay lit without constant puffing, it burns incredibly hot and it still gave nasty tongue bite, plus it lost all its top flavor. It also leaves a nasty chemical coating in my mouth.
If you want a pleasurable tobacco that was truly "designed to bridge the gap between aromatic and English style blends", try Savinelli's new Essenza Cipriota, which is a mild but flavorful blend of Burley, Latakia, Orientals and Virginias with a touch of the grape - a true English Aromatic. As another reviewer said, there is nothing "English" about Winding Road - this "bridge" led me to a dead end in the middle of nowhere. Not worth the effort in my opinion....Read More
