Surprisingly good!

Product: Sail Regular (Yellow) 1.5oz
I bought this to have a quick tobacco to smoke in the field and not to have to pack around a mason jar. This is a very good blend, the Virginias are driving the bus and i love it! This might become my everyday smoke.
awesome!

Package note of mild honey and tangy dark fruit. Tobacco is a reddish dark brown and brown Broken Flake. Moisture content is good. Larger flakes may need to be rubbed out. Burns slow with few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild to medium. Flavoring is mild, with a honey note that quickly fades to the background for most of the bowl. Taste is medium and consistent, with notes of stewed sweet fruit, very woody, citrus, spicy cigar, herbal sour vegetation/hay, bready, spices, acidic, savory, nutty, orange peel/zesty, dry earth, floral, a tangy dark ripe fruit background note, and a moderately peppery retro. Dutch Cavendish (made with Virginias and Burley) is the lead with Brazilian Leaf, Oriental/Turkish and Flavoring supporting. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More

Solid Smoke!

Product: Sail Regular (Yellow) 1.5oz
The pouch note is of a much sweeter tobacco than actually translates to the smoke. This is a burley forward blend that is slightly sweet, creamy and has a slightly sour note that appeals to me. Mild nicotine content and smokes effortlessly. it has a coarse cut that I break up a little bit to make it easier to pack and while it's lightly flavored, it's still flavorful and satisfying. I like it because of it's consistency, which is something I look for in a blend....Read More

En los estancos siempre hay algo mucho mejor que esto. No pierdas tiempo y busca tabaco mejor, si no quieres padecer de un aromático terrible, sin calidad y que quema sin piedad.
A solid three star

Product: Sail Regular (Yellow) 1.5oz
To me this is precisely what gets three stars. Nothing wrong with it but also not as interesting as a lot of other blends. I enjoy smoking it but I'm not going to have any wow moments.
I gave this another star. As I keep reaching for it more and more. It's really grown on me. Everything I said s
till applies but darn it there is something basic and really good about this one. It's becoming one of the old familiar blends. As in I know precisely what to expect but that is a good thing....Read More

There used to be three Sail tobaccos way back when: regular, aromatic and the white natural. I think I remember trying the white natural a few times--a non-aromatic. But this review is about the yellow and green blends. Both are very nice aromatics. They smoke quite dry and never get complaints about the aroma. You will taste the topping or casing. But the natural tobacco flavor finds it's way through, too. I am glad SmokingPipes can offer these tobaccos these days....Read More
Best OTC I’ve Had

Product: Sail Regular (Yellow) 1.5oz
And one of the best Virginia’s I’ve smoked.When I was still on active duty in the navy,one of my shipmates commented on how much he liked the Sail mixture.Well,I am finally getting around to smoking it myself,and am happy I did.I call this over the counter not out of meanness,but because blends like this,and many others were once available at many grocery and drug stores as late as the 1990s,and many were good,and some were garbage.I remember getting Three Star Blue (one of the good ones)in a drug store in Atlantic Beach,Florida....Read More
Honestly, I still prefer Sail: Aromatic, but...

Product: Sail Regular (Yellow) 1.5oz
Not long ago I wrote my initial review of this blend and gave it rather scathing remarks. I've tacked UPDATEs on the end of reviews before, but I felt my opinion of Sail: Regular had changed so much, It deserved a re-write. My first encounter with Sail: Regular came at a time when it was extremely hot and dry where I live (with temps hovering around the 100° mark) and a lot of my smoking experiences were being hampered by my heat induced misery. And, unlike my reviews of blends I've enjoyed many times, this was more of a blind date. I should never have tried to review a blend under such conditions; my apologies. Initially, the blend seemed overly harsh, cigarette-like, and bitter. I have since found that had little to do with the tobaccos and everything to do with my attempts to adjust to the sweltering Summer. Since then I've spent more time with this blend under better conditions and have grown to like it enough to give it another star. Unlike many pouch blends, Sail excels at unadulterated tobacco flavors. The blend is spearheaded by the Orientals and Burley used. The flavors are bold and it's a medium to medium-full strength blend. I'm not sure what Oriental variety Sail uses here, but they are somewhat strong combined with the Burleys. Being strong, it can and will bite if you puff too aggressively. The Virginia helps keep this from being bitter but I don't detect any of the normal flavors associated with Virginia other than a dry hay quality that compliments the Orientals. The Black Cavendish must be of the unsweetened variety, probably just meant to round out the blend and is practically undetectable. The mechanics of the cut are nice and it lights well and stays lit. It has good moisture level that held up well in the Summer heat without becoming too dry. Overall, I still prefer the Aromatic, but I now believe Sail: Regular is a bold tobacco blend that should please Burley and Oriental fans. I hope this helps....Read More
Unterestimated and long forgotten blend
July 15, 2017
Product: Sail Regular (Yellow) 1.5oz
Well my assessement for this baccy is seen in the title of this short review,for price I consider this tobacco very nice and delightful, has medium ribbon cut,and since this comes on the moist side its beneficial if its left aired prior to smoke.Yet take it slow otherwise it may cause some bite.In my Mind this Sail shares tasteprofile similar to Amphora brown but has no added Kentucky and the addition of orientals in this tobacco is made in lesser quantity, briefly,should I say a tamed down version of Amphora, yet think I can find some similarities with Carter Hall Tobacco,although the cut is complet different.Has mild to medium strenght and can be considered as a nice all day tobacco Availability:despite the fact this blend has European roots,you can't find it outside of Netherlands from where it originates, and I've been told is not widely available even in the in the States, but happily You can find it here at Smokingpipes at reasonable price. Thank you, give it a try....Read More
