About This Pipe Tobacco
Part of HU Tobacco's African line, the Asmara mixture comprises Bright and Red Virginias, Perique, and a touch of Latakia. Oriental tobaccos further distinguish the blend and add an unmistakable character to the flavor profile. It's a blend of allure and character, and it's presented in a ribbon cut.

it didn't blew my socks off.
The only negative is that it tends to bite if you are not careful, as others have mentioned....Read More

Okay blend

th letting the burn stop occasionally.
With a small amount of effort this blend can be made to perform better and give up the true flavor profile.
I recommend Asmara to most Enthusiast and a few Newcomers as the blend does need some skill to get the best out of it.
Update:
I lowered the score from 3.5 to 3.0 due to the difficulty preventing a bad burn.
Flavor is good but hard to maintain.
I dried a full bowl over night and still had to take extra steps to get a good burn.
Very finicky blend!
For those experienced Enthusiasts who seek orientals there are good reasons to try this blend.
For Newcomers who have less experience there is a good chance of a bad burn.
Final Update,...
I am sorry such an unsuitable cut was used for this blend.
When correctly packed and with a slow pace burn, I rate this at the top of the Oriental profiles.
Many delicate flavors packed into a hot burning package.
With skill, you can experience the full flavor profile and it can be well worth the effort....Read More

A Lighter Kind of Balkan

wood smoke in the aroma and a suggestion of charred wood in the flavor from the Latakia. Asmara seems to work best as a warm weather, summertime blend; in the cooler months I find that it can prove to be somewhat subtle and reserved for my tastes.
It's about a 3-4 out of 10 for strength and 4-5 out of 10 for flavor and taste intensity. This blend deserves better than 4, but less than 4.5....Read More
