Product: Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding 2oz
Just finished my 2nd bowl. Initial impression is leather earthiness with a strong overture of spicy pepper. I picked up a hint of sweetness in the smell of the smoke, but none in the actual taste. Broke the flake up into small chunks and loose flake.... Read More
Seemed to have a hard time keeping it lit with several relights. Overall, really enjoyed it. Will need to work on proper consistency for loading. Read Less
Product: Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding 2oz
I have been smoking pipes for over 20 years and I enjoy many Balkan blends. This is something else entirely, I don't really get any flavor out of it no matter if I smoke it moist or dry or out of a dozen different pipes. Nothing really stands out and... Read More
it seems mild and weak overall. The Tobaccos don't have much kick and they really seem bland and cancel each other out rather than complement each other. The tin was a mess of crumbs and slices about a quarter inch thick and not really high quality looking leaf either. I'm not really impressed at all. Nobody in my pipe club seemed interested in it either at the last meeting I took it to. Read Less

I have only been a hobbyist for roughly two months now at the time of writing this review. I do prefer aromatics, however, this was a great first non-aromatic blend (IMO) to try. No wonder so many people enjoy it. I will def keep some of this handy f... Read More

I really love this tobacco. I feel it’s top quality. I go back and forth between this and Mississippi River. Both are so good and are some of my “Go To” tobaccos.
One of my favorites

This wonderful English blend tickled me in all the right places. Wonderful flavor, a rich and creamy smoke, burned well, is easy to prepare, Plum Pudding has it all.
However, this comes at a price. Don't smoke it if you're in a rush, it'll leave you... Read More

My First Tin: A VERY Nice Smoke with Mediocre Presentation
September 23, 2017
Product: Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding 2oz
Plum Pudding is a great smoke—no, it's an excellent smoke. I think I like this one more than the Soecial Reserve, as it's not as strong in flavor. It's got a layered complexity that so many pipers want in a blend. I love the room note, but non-smoker... Read More
s hate it. One thing threw me off; I thought I was getting a proper crumble cake like C&D makes (a big pressed hunk of tobacco). Instead, P.P. is full of these 1/8th-inch-thick cake-flake hybrids. They have a grain so they're sort of like flakes. They look very nice; mottled in color with all five of its contents visible. The tin note is very nice as well; full of savory tobacco aromas, not just a Latakia assault. The new tin artwork is great—the one I got is not the style pictured above, but the far more elegant and more recent design (almost the same as the Special Reserve), which is a pleasant addition. It's just that the tin is too big for big for its contents; SPC should wrap these little cakes in paper so they're not banging around in the tin. That's my only big complaint--that and the small output. It'd be great if this was on hand more often! Read Less
c&d has better Latakia bombs, ten Russians?

Will not be the last. In my daily/weekly rotation due to full flavor of thick volumes smoke that has a buttery finish mouth feel. I wish it could be procured in 16oz blocks precut and vacuum packed for the cellar.

This is what it's called English.

I have tried Potlach from SPC, and prefer that to this one. Overall, they make wonderful blends, but to me, Potlach tastes more pure. Perhaps it's the cavendish in this blend that throws me off as being slightly synthetic. By comparison, I like Dunhi... Read More

After the first 2 bowls I wasn't sure what I thought if it.. not what I was expecting . After bowls 3 and 4 it has grown on me. The Latakia is right up front, but not overwhelming. It's a VERY smooth smoke, cool and pleasant. I get the tangy plum swe... Read More
etness mostly on the sides of the tongue. I like to use my churchwarden clinched in the side of my mouth so the smoke hits right on the side of my tongue.
About halfway through, after a couple tamps, the flavors concentrate and some complexity starts to swirl. Another very nice blend from SPC. Read Less

Having heard much of Plum Pudding's reputation, I ordered a tin...and then ordered several more after tasting this wonderful concoction. Really. Yes it's an English Balkan - but with a wonderful 'secret' addition that is not overpowering or obtrusive... Read More
to the blending. With the name PLUM Pudding (that's a hint, I think, of that secret ingredient) there is actually a slight sweet richness that remains from top to bottom of the bowl. I found that NOT rubbing it out too much helps the coolness and richness of the smoke. And that smoke is truly exceptional. The 'new' Bengal Slices crumble cake has a similar approach to the blending, too. Please do try this if you enjoy a thoughtful Balkan. And Aromatic smokers - this is a wonderful transition tobacco, to enter into the world of fine English tobaccos. Read Less
