Uninteresting attempts

I thought it would be a wonderful experience, but in fact, there was only a faint fragrance in the whole process, and I didn't taste any sweetness or other flavors. I will try other brands and varieties of tobacco, and I will not buy this one in the future.

I should preface this by saying that the Flake I tried was half as old as I am, but damn! Maple sugar complexity and stayed lit like a champ.

Tin note of sugared Rasins and dark fruit. Tobacco is a reddish dark brown and black marbled Flake with specks of tan. Moisture content is good, some want to dry it out a bit. rubs out and cubes nicely. Burns slow with few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild to medium. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium and very consistent, with notes of mildly sweet tart plums, Rasin/fig, toasted bread, woody, spice, floral, sweet grass/hay, rich earth, mild lemon, mildly acidic, mild orange peel/zest, a tangy savory dark fruit background note, and a peppery retro. Virginia is leading with Black Cavendish and Perique supporting. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is great....Read More

Disappointed

I really tried to like this one. From the favourable reviews to the reputation of Rattray’s tobacco. I finished a whole tin before writing this review. But still I cannot like it. Mechanically speaking, it comes in long flakes. Almost a tape. But they’re easy to break apart. The flakes are moist, no, wet, this is s blend that requires monumental drying. If you want to dry it as a flake it will take hours, so folding is not an option with it. It will be a relighting nightmare. Rubbing is better, it takes almost an hour to be dry enough and it rubs moderately easy. It requires a few relights throughout the smoke and it expands when lit so don’t pack too tight. The tin note is dark fruity and reminds me of dried figs. And the taste of it matches this. It has dark fruity taste with a bit of sweetness to it, almost like a straight dark virginia, I couldn’t get much of anything else. It isn’t a bad taste when you direct it away from your tongue but I found that if I smoke with the mouthpiece towards my tongue it leaves this tingly sensation so I am wondering if that’s was an added casing. It leaves a nice after taste though, again of dried fruit and the room note matches. It isn’t bad but I cannot recommend it and I won’t be buying more. Unless I am out of tobacco and it is the only one a available....Read More

Not sure what to do with this

Even dried completely I can barely keep it lit. Also, I find it to be very bland. I like the first few minutes, but then I tire of it quickly. I do like the other three Rattray virginias. I have attempted this blend twice in the last 5 years and once again threw the tin in the trash after several months....Read More

Waited a long time for this one, but I finally got my hands on a few tins. First impressions are the tobacco tastes young, but still very good. My suspicion is that this will be a phenomenal blend once it’s aged a bit. I’ve got two tins cellared and I look forward to its maturity a fer piece down the road....Read More
