From a beginner's point of view

With no bite and or burn, I've enjoyed this tobacco plenty. Its exotic taste, filled with grassy and tangy notes, is perfect for a relaxing session. The further I smoke, the more I can grasp the nuances in its flavor. I've heard that allowing it to sit for a while, really enhances the flavor—I'm excited to find out.

Great for paring with a good red wine....Read More

Very interesting!

Of the pipe tobacco that I have had so far, this was very exotic, with sour fruity smells and tastes. I guess this is the influence of the Orientals and Perique, I think anyone into pipe tobacco should try this blend! I first tried it at sunrise walking my Dog, and was pleasantly surprised and intrigued the whole time. I am excited to try more oriental blends....Read More

With some aging, I've grown fond of Janus. It's flavorful and satisfying.

Tin note of sour, spices, and mildly sweet. The reddish-brown broken flakes have a little tan and dark brown mixed in. It rubs out easily and needs no dry time. Burns slow with a few relights. The strength is medium and nic is medium. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium to full and consistent, with notes of tart citrus, spicy, sweet grassy hay, bread, sugary lemon, dry earth, very woody, floral, a lot of herbal spice, mild raisin, mild sour plum, a mild consistent sweet background note, and a moderately peppery retro. Virginias leads, Orientals support, and Perique filling in when needed. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More

I am unsure....Maybe paid people to write review? in the end decent blend

SO first off, read reviews first before trying. Tin note ( no clue what urea smells like, google was no help outside of urine and that was not the case) tin note was that of a minerally orange or to some in the US of A a generic multivitamin. Sure am game! Tried it twice, and wrote both down just to be sure. Both times; Tin had slight spicy notes that came into the second half of the experience, slight leathery / musty notes, maybe slight sweet / tonquin/ vanilla note? wasn't sweet at all ( FYI been on almost anti inflammatory lifestyle for a month, tastes are off). In the end there is some Virginia brightness / oriental tang / spiciness that seems muted and is what comes to mind leathery and musty , with slight Perique note that is hard to pin down that may or may note have almost a raisin note (VERY slight). It is very nuanced for sure. Do i get the floral and orientals? meh? not really...is it a blend to try and that is refind? YES! With other reviews like a spicy pinapple flavor, i guess i was led by the nose, disappointed? No. End verdict, decent/ elegantly nuanced in the mild European fashion which is hard to do right...Read More

....SO i tried a different shape of pipe...and it did a thing

So in my last review I called the the antique Virginia musty. I tried a pipe with more of a small classic dublin / poker respectively, and it completely changed. It had a nuance like C&D Haunted Bookshop, matured Virginias, slight spice and light fruit note that was note quite pinapple, not quite tonquin but there. It definately was a nuanced flavor, reminisant of being in the sun (for me i don't know why), it had a elegant profile without being too loud one way or another and was a real treat. Slight disappointment on the other reviews as a spicy pinapple sounded vaguely fun, but as in the last review, no regret on the purchase and the other tins of it waiting in the eaves. This is an elegant blend; matured flavors, some spice, some fruit notes (read citrus), very enjoyable...Read More

Old school

Something about this has me feeling like I’m smoking back in the 30s. It’s growing on me but right now I have it just above average.

Odd tin note

This has a slightly off putting tin note but do not let that deter you. I smells fantastic when lit in the bowl. This is a close tie for my favorite in the god series (right there with Jupiter). Will definitely be superb with aging.

This stuff is incredible. Although it does have a slightly weird tin note, I have to say that the nicotine is at a perfect high-mid, and the taste is like a sweet savory bread roll with one or two berries in the middle. Burns incredibly well and comes in a beautiful flake/sometimes broken flake. Please try this blend, I couldn’t put it down for months when I first tried it....Read More

This tobacco is really excellent and I would put money on it being phenomenal with some age. Janus is a little sweet, floral, leathery, and musty. The tobacco truly does posses a unique-antique quality. Very well balanced and flavorful.
