Decades ago, a dear friend had settled on this as his favorite pipe tobacco. I went into the Amphora direction and largely stayed there until Amphora was no more. So, I cast about for a staple blend, and thought of Peter's old favorite.
I was not disappointed. Here is a sophisticated English-styl
e blend of high quality tobaccos without added flavorings or strange chemical tastes.
In my younger days I enjoyed Red Raparee, but these days, some 5 decades later, I prefer this. Yes, it can be an all day blend. It's lovely stuff with excellent manners.

Torn between giving this 3.0 or 3.5....(*Updated*)

I'm torn between giving this 3.0★ and 3.5★ ... so, after trying a number of times, 3.0★ it is. Only because it isn't quite yet "Good" for me, and is barely average. I do enjoy the first half of each bowl and the intensity of those flavors it delivers upon light-up. But then it quickly loses some of its earlier flavors it provided me. I spend the second half, of each bowl, trying to get back what was once there but is now lost. Then there's always some bite sneaking up from the shadows. Perhaps, in time, I will come to enjoy this. Only time will tell. I will *Update* when or if deserved. Now *Updated* (tin is dated Mar. '24); as this has for others, I see in other reviews, this just keeps getting yummier and yummier. Probably for learning how to smoke it. For this reason, and for adding its link to my "next-to-order* list, I bumped up my rating to 4.0★ today. And I can now say, to suggest, "it is worthy of giving it a try." Spending some time to learn the best way to smoke it will provide a rewarding smoke. Enjoy....Read More
The Hidden Gem of the Rattray's Line

Product: Rattray's No. 7 Reserve 100g
7 Reserve gets overlooked, I think, because the description cannot help but give the impression that this is Red Rapparee Light, which it most definitely is not. All the notes are there, but the change in component proportions significantly alters the flavor profile. It took awhile for this one to click. My first impression was that this was airy and light on substance. Thinking that I either had Burley mouth or that there was an excess of PG affecting the flavor, I aired out the tin for a couple of days and stuck it on the shelf. A couple of months later... Worth the wait. It's now creamy, sweet, full-bodied, and interesting all the way through the smoke. If it helps, I group this together in my tobacco closet with Peterson Old Dublin, G. L. Pease Lagonda, Peterson (nee Dunhill) Standard Mixture, Ashton Consummate Gentleman, et al....Read More
