Sillem's - European Blend: London 50g
Great Stuff
I didn't think much of the tin note so I was expecting much however I found it to be easy to keep lit and somewhat complicated in taste. Every few puffs it would change in flavor and strength which I found I really liked. I did not find it ash cannish like I do Durbar and t burned to a white ash at the end. Would recommend this to everyone.

Work Well
I find these are great p-lips as I start the small end first.

End of Quest
I am a Balkan/English smoker however sometimes for change of pace I like an aromatic. In my quest to find a couple I have sampled everything from Ennerdale to Paladin and had already chosen Molte Dolce as no.1. I have now found no.2. This is a great tasting, great room note tobacco with enough strength to be satisfying.It also packed and burnt well with very little goopy residue left and I smoked in two briars and a cob however all were large bowls.

Surprised
After everything I have read pro and con, I was surprised that the moisture content was fine and I wasn't knocked over by the smell I didn't bother to rub it out but went with the fold and stuff and it lit and burned fine I found it to be an unusual tasting tobacco but not offensive. I think Molto Dolce is much sweeter and creamier and this is not something I would buy again but I think it has a place.
Dan Tobacco - Old Ironsides 50g
Almost Perfect
Rub it out, stuff it in the bowl and light it up and you get a great tasting wonderfully smokey and very cool smoke that needs no relights and burns to a little fine white ash. In MHO this is just a great smoking tobacco in every way and I would recommend it to everybody.

Balanced Quality Tobacco
Strong is in the taste of the smoker. To me this is a medium strength tobacco. I am on my third bowl today and each successive bowl has been a little better. I would consider it semi-cream however the flavor does bounce back and forth between the Va and burley but I enjoy that.
