About This Pipe Tobacco

Utilizing the same components as McConnell's Special London Mature, the Mature blend features Virginias from Africa and Brazil alongside Orientals from Greece and Turkey. It's differentiated, though, by a slight topping of cocoa and anise for subtle sweetness that supports the tobaccos' natural flavors — all pressed and then rubbed out into a broken flake.

I've had 2 tins of this in my cellar for the last 2 years. Been anxious to try it, but deliberated when the right time was to crack it open. Finally decided tonight was the night. The tin note was unlike any Virginia blend I've experienced, probably due to the anise topping. Distinctly sweet and spicy, but not in an offensive way. The cut is shredded, thicker than a ribbon but smaller than a broken flake. The moisture level was perfect. I packed my Savinelli 904 KS slightly on the loose side, as I do most broken and shredded flakes, as the tobacco tends to expand in the bowl as it heats up. I used matches and it took to the flame beautifully. The anise topping did not have near the strong presence in the smoke as it did in the tin note. While it was still upfront with the sweet and spicy aroma, it was subtle and quickly took a back seat to the dry, bready, finish you expect with a quality and mature Virginia. The smoke is creamy and billows with a pleasant room note. The tobacco itself burned evenly in my bowl, and only required a relight once about half way when I paused to enjoy some hot green tea with honey, an excellent pairing. No issues with the relight and I enjoyed the rest of my bowl down to a fine white ash. I did not experience any bitter moisture in my stem, but I believe the mechanics of my smoking was a factor. Virginias need gentle sips to enhance the flavor profile, which also prevents moisture build up and gurgling. Overall, this was a fantastic experience for me, which was a pleasant surprise given the mixed reviews I've seen. I encourage anyone who reads my review to give this tobacco a try, and perhaps approach it the same way I did. If you do, I don't think you will be disappointed....Read More

Delicious

Delicious molasses and caramel virgina. I didn't find the topping overpowering at all, but I had aged this one a few years so that might have mellowed it a bit.

Too Much Topping

July 21, 2020

I found the topping too persistent and heavy. It's so distracting that the Virginia leaf itself is somewhat lost, making this more an aromatic than otherwise. And yes, there will be ghosting.
