Lord Nelson Pipe Tobacco

Arrived with the same consistency as fake Easter grass for children’s baskets. Dry as a wildfire waiting to happen. Obviously little care taken housing remaining stock for a disappearing line. Can’t speak to the flavor, didn’t get to experience what it should have been. A shame.

Well, the first time I ordered this I was so intrigued by the lemon virginia and the flavor was very strong in the blend. Almost tasted like a lemon girl scout cookie and I really liked it. The second 2 oz I bought completely lacked this quality and was just a sort of run of the mill mild english/balkan blend. I suppose that is the risk of buying bulk? Probably won't buy again if it can't guarantee that interesting lemon citrus flavor....Read More

With this blend the star of the attraction for me is the lemon Virginia. Most Englishes employ red Virginia but Lor Nelson has a very dry lemon variety. Dry like a white wine. Tangy and tart, citrusy even! Think of an American codger blend with some added Latakia… what a hidden gem this is! Cool, doesn’t smoke wet and has some nicotine strength!!...Read More

Refined, and quite sophisticated. A handsome smoke that goes well with a good book.

For what it is (a bulk buy mix), Lord Nelson is among the most dependable, beautiful, and satisfying Balkans you could ever smoke. I have some every day, and it gets better every time I smoke it. I just bought another pound. It's the lemon Virginias that play so nicely with a very mellow, almost "fruity" latakia - fruity in the way that madagascan black pepper is fruity. There aren't many Balkans or even English blends using all lemon Virginias and no reds, so this is a hidden gem. One of the most unsung blends available, one of the best secrets there is. I hope it never goes out of production....Read More
