Best aromatic
May 08, 2020
Product: Rattray's Exotic Passion 100g
I'm admittedly not generally an aromatic smoker. The flavors in most aromatics hit you over the head without subtlety or complexity. This blend however had me embracing its layers. There is Orange, vanilla and maple syrup flavors in the bag note and ... Read More
detectable in the taste as well. The flavors are there but none is overpowering. As with most aromatics, the blend does benefit from a bit of drying prior to lighting but not nearly as much as most others in my experience. A fantastic smoke and one I'd highly recommend. Read Less
Somewhat Embarrassed

Product: Rattray's Exotic Passion 100g
I admit. I don't think highly of aromatics, but was curious since this has attracted much attention. I hate to say it, but I simply adore this aro. It's beautiful beyond discription. The tin note, construction, moisture content.. everything. I have z... Read More

Great Aromatic
July 16, 2017
Product: Rattray's Exotic Passion 100g
Very natural orange flavoring with no bite. Perfect moisture out of the tin, and burns down with little moisture. The flavoring only dominates the tobacco flavor slightly, and blends well with it. Slight floral notes, and pairs very well with a cup o... Read More

香是香,你得慢点抽,这个刚打开时,咬舌!放了一个月再试,会好很多!
Ridiculously good

Product: Rattray's Exotic Passion 100g
I swear I could smell this in the box, it’s that good. It’s smokes a little hot but if you sip it you should be good. The aromas is like nothing I’ve ever smelled, a combination of Orange Blossom and Honey, a truly fanatic smoke. I could smell it lon... Read More

Great orange flavor...tobacco is at the perfect moisture level right out of the tin..
King of Aromatics
April 29, 2018
Product: Rattray's Exotic Passion 100g
When this stuff was born, all the other aromatic tobaccos brought it gifts of frankincense and myrrh. Seriously, I try a lot of aros for fun and most just fall into the same group of 'meh' for me- Very few turn out to be 'must have' blends. This is... Read More
one I love. It is a singular pipe smoking experience.
Pure honey and orange blossom with a whisper of the light grassy tobacco underneath. This will ghost your pipe and your palate. Absolute flavour bomb. Read Less
Better the next day
December 08, 2022
Product: Rattray's Exotic Passion 100g
The tin note is very unique with a complex array of citrusy deliciousness. I left half in the pipe overnight by mistake, light up the next morning and POW that stuff came alive with explosive flavor - It was better with much more flavor the next day.... Read More

Excellent!

Product: Rattray's Exotic Passion 100g
This is the best aromatic! Super smooth through the whole bowl. I can go out in my garage a hour later and still smells so good! Well done.
Unlike anything else...

Product: Rattray's Exotic Passion 100g
Full disclosure: I DO smoke aros! The tin note is ridiculous in the amount of citrus and perfume you get - prob the best and worst tin note I've ever experienced. Yea, I know THAT didn't make sense. But, its a tobacco, not potpourri, so how it smokes... Read More
is what rates. I liked it. It's so full of fruit notes its crazy. I found drying it for 10 min or so smokes more to my tastes. It does need to be sipped because as noted by others can burn hot. And I have dedicated a new cob to smoke it so eliminate any ghosting issues. Read Less
Product: Rattray's Exotic Passion 100g
Very strong scent. I can smell this tobacco throughout the house. However, it's a very good aromatic... IN MODERATION. I suggest using one pipe dedicated to this tobacco. It will ghost your pipes.
The tin art is a 10/10...

Product: Rattray's Exotic Passion 100g
That's about it though...the tin art fantastic. I wish ever tin could go nuts like this one. Just beautiful! With that said and out of the way. Not a great aromatic. Burns like it was the surface of the sun, barely got it not to. Taste of chemical/ar... Read More
tificial and leaves a chemical/artificial aftertaste. The tin note was ok. My wife liked for the most part, but sadly for her, she not the one smoking it. Just disappointed. A shame too for all the time I waited to get my hands on it. That's just my experience. If your into aromatics give it a go. If nothing else you'll have a sweet tin as a souvenir to remember your time with exotic Passion. Read Less
This one really impresses non-smokers
March 26, 2022
Product: Rattray's Exotic Passion 100g
This is one you can puff on around non-smoking friends and they will say “wow what is that?“ It’s just an incredible fragrance. Really perfumes the world around you. It’s some thing that I love but the nic hit is so mild I don’t use it very often unl... Read More

Aromatic
September 18, 2021
Product: Rattray's Exotic Passion 100g
This is a blend that is awesome to smoke around people (which is what I bought it for), and it smokes mechanically wonderfully. I don’t personally like the exact taste I get, but that’s more of a preference of my taste and not about how the tobacco b... Read More
ehaves mechanically. I’ve had a couple of friends tell me it’s the best smelling tobacco they’ve smelled and constantly ask me to smoke it around them. The moisture was perfect out of the tin, but you need to jar it the day it comes to you because it’s in a non air tight bag and a non air tight tin. Also, the tin is perfect for keeping lighters and filters. Read Less
Orange you glad you got this?
June 22, 2021
Product: Rattray's Exotic Passion 100g
Why yes. Yes I am. I had seen a lot of praise for this blend and when it was restocked I grabbed a tin by chance while checking out with something else. Needless to say I wasn't disappointed. The tin note is sweet and citrusy with a nice woodsy under... Read More
tone. The room note is delightful and light. The flavor is sweet with the citrus definitely driving but with subtle hints of vanilla and maple. I would recommend letting it air out a bit before smoking. Overall a great aromatic smoke that doesn't burn too hot and has a very natural flavor profile. Read Less
Not What I Expected, But Nice

Product: Rattray's Exotic Passion 100g
I normally smoke English/Balkan blends, but during the summer months, I prefer Virginia blends. This summer I bought two “citrus” aromatics for comparison, Ashton Rainy Day and Rattray’s Exotic. They are both wonderful! A main difference I see is tha... Read More
t Rattray’s has a Tea/Floral/Perfume note to it that some might not like ( I do ). By comparison, Ashton’s has a deep alcohol note (rum, whiskey etc.) I’m so glad I got both as they both have their own niche to fill. If you’re looking for a good aromatic for summer that still tastes like tobacco, you can’t go wrong with either. Read Less

Product: Rattray's Exotic Passion 100g
The tin note is heavily orange, the smoke is light and fruity, and the after taste is like fruit stripe gum. The tin itself is really nice and the tobacco presentation makes it feel like something special. Ghosts a pipe instantly so be prepared. I wi... Read More

Great tin note, fresh out of the tin not to wet, lots of flavor and little to no tongue bite when sipped and enjoyed.

Product: Rattray's Exotic Passion 100g
This tobacco can do both! Knock your socks off and make your eyes glow (in a good way). Pack it right and it lights easy, burns to the bottom of the bowl with no problems. Does not get hot or bite your tongue. I have never tasted a flavor like thi... Read More

This is one of my favorite aromatics ever. With a magical tin aroma and wonderful taste, it is particularly outstanding in my meers. I will always have some on hand.

Seriously, this one is a Showstopper. From flavour to room note, everyone loves when I light this up. Smokes slowly very easily. Wish I could get more.
Product: Rattray's Exotic Passion 100g
Tin scent reminds me of a cheap fragranced candle. Sorry, I don't get the hype.

Love the flavor of orange and honey I get from this without a cloying or medicinal aftertaste. I buy 2 tins every time its available and immediately store it in mason jars.

Light first taste of dried orange peel. Followed by taste orange blossom, and spice ( clove?). What a joy to smoke. Great after dinner smoke, or quiet Sunday afternoon.

I was very impressed with this tobacco. You can enjoy the orange that Rattrays puts into this..
No wonder it's always out of stock.
When available I will be buying a couple tins. High quality stuff!
