English Tradition
February 13, 2016
Product: Robert Lewis Tree Mixture 50g
This finely balanced English blend continues the tradition of fine tobaccos produced in England. It is along with only a couple of other brands reminiscent of the English blends produced back in the 1960's and '70's when I began smoking a pipe. The... Read More

#1 Best English Ever Made. Period.
October 21, 2022
Product: Robert Lewis Tree Mixture 50g
The tin note has some very apparent spice, leather, butter and earthy notes. It's interesting. If you sip it, it's as smooth as silk and does burn to a white ash, like many of the white whales both extinct and rarely seen.
Very hard to compare to... Read More
similar blends. Fellas, I think this is truly in a league of its own. This is my first time smoking a foreign English blend. Luckily I stock piled enough Frog Morton: "On The Town," to last me about 12 years. I'm currently down to my last unopened can. Ergo, I decided to give this a try, as I'm running on fumes. I'm not as experienced as some of you, I've only been smoking pipes since 2011, so... not a lot of experience compared to the majority of the connoisseurs on here.
The first tin of English I ever tired, was Frog Morton, On The Town and I stuck with it without really giving anything else the old college try. I suppose, it kind of spoiled me for anything else. Not to support the; "me too," pipe tobacco movement, but I found the Esoterica blends to be exceptional as well. John Cotton, is another I enjoy. Unfortunately and shamefully, I have ordered from other companies, but I've found Smoking Pipes/ Smoking Pipes Europe to be the best resource to find pipes and tobaccos.
Honestly, SP's customer support and staff is 1st class and every other major corporation can take a few pages out of their play book. (Yes I'm talking about you COJ's) For those of you who are unaware of SP's European Sister Company. Definitely check them out if your looking for the good stuff. I've noticed a lot of reviews from fellow "Smoking Pipes," colleagues, that a lot of you tend to poorly rate the tobacco only due to the fact they sell out before you can order any?
Or because the brand has "Tongue Bite." First, and by no means do I intend to insult anyone, but, the Bite people are referring to has about 20% to do with the quality of the tobacco, 10% the quality of the pipe and about 70% of the moisture level and rate in which you're burning through a bowl. There are so many good blends that get poor reviews on here that its nauseating. If your really that sensitive to bite, just go the European route and get every pipe in a 9mm filter which, I hate to say it, because it's like adding water to Pappy 15 year, but the 9mm filters actually do an amazing job of removing bite for those of you faster sippers, like me. I'm 100% behind the 9mm filter systems and I rarely buy anything but 9mm pipes anymore. They can bulldose through the Sh*tiest with ease. (Name dropping mainly Captain Black and those like it).
Back to my second point; before (you) and you know who you are, keep poorly rating some of these outstanding products, may I suggest; educating yourselves about the mixture, moisture content, cellaring, aging of the various blends and most importantly, for you hipsters our there, actually smoking the blends before writing a review.
I completely understand the frustration of not getting your chance to snag a few tins of the white whales, however, part of the fun of visiting this site daily, not only to check the notifications of what's coming but also the fresh pipes and reviews from the blogs and the incredibly descriptive Shane Ireland.
I digress, for those of you who like English blends, this is exceptional, it's truly unlike anything else out there. I'm a huge fan, I'll be buying as much of this as I can to save and cellar. As I believe this is going to be the next white whale of the tobacco world for English blends. It's an extremely high quality product, there's very little if any chunks, sticks or "Rubbish," to sift through. It's one of those, amazing English blends right out of the tin, that is fairly rare to find these days.
I give it a resounding 5 star review and recommend it to anyone who appreciates a ultra high quality English. Don't expect this one to stick around. It's up there with the best, if not the best. Read Less

Simply put one of the finest “English Blends” ever produced. If pressed to pick a favorite tobacco, Tree Mixture would be the one I’d choose.

I wouldn't consider myself an English smoker per say but I do enjoy this mixture. Very well balanced, doesn't bite and has a great aroma
Product: Robert Lewis Tree Mixture 50g
从初段开始，香气浓郁，不烫舌，不辣嗓，斗温好控，没有积水，中段开始有明显的酱香，尾端香气不减，好草。价格再便宜一点就完美了。

Colonel Tree, to my knowledge, didn't do anything worthwhile in terms of establishing a military legacy. But damn did the officer have splendid taste!
Deceptively perfect

Enjoyable Smoke - More Of A Balkan Flavor
May 25, 2019
Product: Robert Lewis Tree Mixture 50g
This is a slow burning full flavor tobacco. Well balanced between the different types of leaf make this a very satisfying smoke. This is one, not the best but "one" of the best English mixtures I've smoked and to me, similar to Old Dublin, in my opin... Read More
ion, also seems much more like a Balkan Mixture although the terminology of either is relatively academic. The interplay among the varietals join together and provide a very satisfying and enjoyable smoke session with a unique taste and sort of an aromatic essence that I can't put a handle on. One reason I liked the blend is because it didn't seem to be overladen with Latakia... just the right balance. I'll be trying this again as soon as it becomes available somewhere. The good stuff is always "on backorder" & one must endure the waiting game to acquire the better blends. Tree Mixture like Old Dublin both had a unique flavor that I enjoyed. Read Less
