Product: War Horse Green 1.75oz
My Dad passed recently and I was going through his pipes and blends and found this tobacco. Pressed into a nice firm block plug, this blend smells of almond extract. The room note and flavor is beautiful. Delicious from start to finish.
Great Experience!

Product: War Horse Green 1.75oz
I am very new to smoking a pipe and smoking in general this being said War Horse Green is easily my favorite out of the 3 tins I have tried so far. It is very strong and has a nice thick smoke. It tastes like licorice and a very mild sweet flavor. My... Read More

What a great find!
December 16, 2016
Product: War Horse Green 1.75oz
I don't normally smoke aromatics, and I wouldn't have bought this had I known (Or paid closer attention to the description) it wasn't an English blend. Anyway, what a pleasant surprise! I got it in and decided to give it a try... what a great tobacco... Read More
! Be warned, it is a bit strong, the Nicotine will make your head fuzzy if you're not used to it. Anyway, it smells great, burns cool (zero tongue bite), and tastes great to the bottom of the bowl. I usually like a bowl of "Royal Yacht" or sometimes "Nightcap", but Warhorse Green and a cup of coffee is my new favorite. (One more thing - Smokingpipes.com has the BEST customer service!

STRONG Nicotine... Like St Bruno in Plug Form
October 29, 2021
Product: War Horse Green 1.75oz
I want to preface this by stating that the 2.5 rating doesn't mean that it's an average tobacco among other blends and mixtures. This rating indicates an average rating for MY TASTES. If I absolutely loved and preferred the flavor of St Bruno for ins... Read More
tance, this would be a 5 start rating. Based on it's form, proportions and flavoring, this is also a 5 star tobacco. It reflects Oulett's expertise and creativity. I just prefer English. Now the description: Tonquin like flavor in a very dense plug form. The tonquin is like a vanilla/geranium/anise//fruit flavor... either love it or hate it. Like all of Sutliff offerings, it also has that almond naunce. The plug is very dense and requires a knife to shave pieces off. The Kentucky Dark Fired lends a strong bitter oak flavor and given that it's a plug, that Dark Fired kicks the nicotine up to a 4.5 out of 5 level. Just don't smoke this in an empty stomach. This is effectively St Bruno if it were in plug form... perhaps a bit sweeter. This is officially an aromatic, and appropriately so, but don't think of this as an aromatic in the American sense like a Creme Brulee. This is nothing like the weak, bland American aromatics doused with artificial flavoring and propylene glycol to cover inferior-grade cavendished tobacco. It's a traditional aromatic in the sense that another non-tobacco component (flavoring) has been added. Russ Oulette if among the great blenders, and we're fortunate to have him among us. Unlike Greg Pease, he's very much open to direct discussion each week. He's very approachable, informative and transparent in his thoughts on leaf. He doesn't get the notoriety or praise that Greg Pease, Jeremey Reeves or Per George Jensen gets... but he is in my opinion, perhaps in the top 4 of all time. If you like St Bruno, give this a go, but just remember the nicotine strength. I think if devotees of St Bruno knew of this one, it would be on perpetual backorder. Oh, and this one doesn't age any better. A 5 year old tin tasted just like a fresh one. Read Less
pleasure with a punch

Product: War Horse Green 1.75oz
this blend is nice, easy to smoke and can sneak up on you if not use to strong tobaccos. I love the faint licorice and a very mild sweet flavor.
good to go.

Tin note of anise/licorice, dark fruit and peaty vegetation. Tobacco is a Krumble Kake of brown with dark brown and tan specks. Moisture content is ok. some pipe smokers will want to hydrate it a bit. Burns slow with few relights. The strength is med... Read More
ium to strong and nic is medium to strong. Flavoring is medium, with notes of anise. Flavoring is overpowering upon lighting and headed into the first third but dies down in the second third but remains just above a background flavor. Taste is medium to full and very consistent, with notes of anise, spices, herbal floral, spicy, peaty vegetation, dark cocoa, very earthy, bread, mild sugar, moderately savory, dark fruit, grass, cigar, a hay and semi-sweet nuts background note, and a very peppery retro. Dark Air Cured is leading with Kentucky, Virginia and Flavoring supporting. Room note is tolerable to strong, and aftertaste is ok. Read Less

Hands down my favorite tobacco I've ever tried. If you hate licorice you will probably hate this one, but for me there couldn't be a better taste. I couldn't help but practically puff this like a locomotive, no tongue bite at all, opened my nasal pas... Read More

A traditional aromatic
July 26, 2022
Product: War Horse Green 1.75oz
I find both this and regular to be quite satisfactory. To me the flavor goes anise, dark fired, tonquin. I prefer the red a bit more it has a heavier tonquin flavor and the component tobacco shines through more in the red. 1792 flake is my all time f... Read More
avorite just hard to get these days. So I have chosen this and the red to scratch that itch and it does it in spades. Read Less
Red and Green
June 08, 2022
Product: War Horse Green 1.75oz
I bought this because the description says the green tin has a stronger top note. I've smelled the tins and smoked the two side by side, but find the strength of each to be about the same. Red has more tonquin, that is definite. Maybe green has more... Read More
anise. I prefer red but YMMV. Read Less
Missing link of between aromatic and full strength and flavor
May 28, 2022
Product: War Horse Green 1.75oz
With a solid full blend like War Horse, i didn't know what to expect with it claiming to be an aromatic, as the regular blend has a front and center place in a jar in my cellar. The tin note smelled of spiced anise, which was surprising. Lighting ... Read More
it was greeted with a creamy note with a slight Tonquin-esque flavor that was slight top note and tamed the beast down a notch, but make no mistake slow down otherwise it will buck up and knock you off. It still is a touch potent. With the added top note it smoothes things out but does not deter from the flavor that is as bold as the horse on the tin label. The Burley and the Dark Fired Kentucky are the forefront of this blend. Very well done. I do not know if it will be along side War Horse regular, it may take more than one bowl or tin to figure that out. I do know however that i will have it somewhere in my rotation as a staple as long as i can find this blend Read Less
This Is The Real Thing
March 20, 2022
Product: War Horse Green 1.75oz
I've only been pipe smoking for about 3 months and have thoroughly enjoyed all the aromatics I've sampled, but was looking for something with real nicotine kick. Ordered a can of this stuff on the personal recommendation of Sam Bowden here...
We... Read More
ll he didn't steer me wrong! Once I figured out how to get the can open and discovered the licorice - smelling brick inside, I shaved some off one corner and crumbled it between fingers and thumb. Lights easy and stays lit in the bowl... and produces a nicotine experience very similar to what you remember from your first time!
If you're smoking it straight out of the can, I urge you to do it sitting down the first time, and take care to keep it away from the back of your throat. It has a little kick to it. I'm going to blend it with one of my "weaker" aromatics this evening, - maybe even with some from my last pouch of Captain Black Grape..... Should be great! Read Less
A close second

Very close to Bar in everything. I have trouble choosing between the 2 but I'd give Bar the slightest edge. Superb tobacco!
Love & Hate

Product: War Horse Green 1.75oz
After many years I recently returned to pipe smoking. My usual blends are black cavendish and vanilla. But having stepped out of my comfort zone, I tried Bengal Slices and loved it. So, I tried this one and loved the taste but hated the huge nicotine... Read More
hit. It was like someone snuck up me and cracked my with a baseball bat. Got very nauseous and let’s just say it was a very bad few hours that followed. So new pipers please use caution with this blend. Really good but packs a pretty heavy punch. Read Less

A great aromatic with a kick. Tastes of coconut and licorice mixed with floral notes. A repeat buy for me.
Worth the wait

Product: War Horse Green 1.75oz
I held off on smoking this one a bit, sorta saving the best for last. Glad I did. The smell is sublime and the taste even more so. It reminds me of a good absinthe and was truly a treat to smoke on these hot sunny afternoons we've been having.
Intense yet wonderful
May 29, 2021
Product: War Horse Green 1.75oz
Been considering this one since my first order but was on the fence knowing that the licorice flavor would be ether the perfect combo for tobacco or straight awful.
I can happily say at this point the two are perfect together. This one grabs you by ... Read More
the taste buds and refuses to let go in a absolutely wonderful way. This flavor will stick with you for long after the session has ended and sticks with a pipe for days so be aware.

Product: War Horse Green 1.75oz
This is a very well done casing/flavoring. Whatever the process is they nailed it. The plug is perfect. Not rock solid, but firm enough. It breaks apart with ease, and is not sticky, or wet. It is like the perfect moisture. It burned GREAT. Smooth,... Read More
and very flavorful. I loved the locorice/anise flavor with other fruity, and sweet creamy type of flavor. I kinda suck at describing these nuances, but I am good at recognizing a DAMN GOOD smoke... and this is one of them! Read Less
Good Stuff!
December 21, 2020
Product: War Horse Green 1.75oz
Mixture 79, but more Anisette and Amaretto with DFK. I have had it in Briar, Meerschaum, Cob and Brylon. Burns cool in all of them.(yes, even the brylon) In fact, it tastes amazing in Brylon. Though, it tastes amazing period.
Tastes even better after a year

Product: War Horse Green 1.75oz
This has a strong topping note of licorice/anise to me. It melds well into the natural flavors of the VaBurKFC blend. Delicious.
What is that smell?!
March 19, 2018
Product: War Horse Green 1.75oz
I bought this tin on spec just to give it a try.
On opening, the tin note hit every corner of the room. Its smell is stronger than any G&H tobac in my stash thats for sure. I cant place the aroma. Its like licorice combined with ultra concentrate... Read More
d apricot.
It burns and smokes well with (for me) generous nic and voluminous smoke. The aroma will be in your beard all day and in your pipe for longer.
Its one of those blends I’m not sure about, but in a mason jar it’ll happily sit there and come out when I feel like something totally different to anything else. Read Less

Product: War Horse Green 1.75oz
Aside from the aesthetics which is nice. I enjoyed opening the tin to find a nicely pressed plug. I was hit with that licorice anise note which was inviting. Upon smoking found very rich tobacco taste ( which I love) and a mild perfume room note and ... Read More
yes if you are in for a good long hour smoke, it will knock you back a bit but very relaxing. I have tried mixing this, orlik and old ironsides in 3 equal parts for something different here and there. Excellent stuff! Read Less
Great Stuff, but why call it a plug?
November 29, 2016
Product: War Horse Green 1.75oz
This stuff is great, but is more of a crumble cake than a plug. My experience is that plug is made from whole leaf and not the shredded stuff in this block. Still 10/10 great smoke, an aromatic with a kick of Vitamin N
Spectacular

Product: War Horse Green 1.75oz
The flavoring in this seems to be a delightful combination between tonquin bean and amaretto. There is a pretty heavy hand with the flavoring but the dark fired does shine through, especially near the end of the bowl. Though this does nothing to dimi... Read More
