My wife let me pick up some tobacco myself for my coming birthday. No pic(s) yet as it is still wrapped, but just had to share. To boost my recently started pipesmoking hobby I got a "My own Blend" sample pack with 5 totally different blends so I can give some direction to which tobaccos/blends I favor most.
It was the only sample I could find around here and it contains very diverse blends:
- Rijnstroom
Red Virginia with some black Cavendish, Perique and dark fired Kentucky. Also some Liqor 43 flavoring;
- Red Feast
Burley plug, brown Cavendish (Burley and Virginia) blend with some light vanilla and chocolate casting;
- Golden Blend
Ready rubbed flake blend from several Virginia and Burley tobaccos;
- Smokin' Aces
Mild blend from several Virginia and Burley tobaccos with some caramel and chocolate casting;
- Red Heat
English style ready rubbed flake blend from Louisiana Perique, Dark Fired Kentucky and Aged Virginia. Some black Cavendish, Oriënt and Latakia is also included.
Can't wait to try all of them so I can select some more blends, based on my opinion of this sample
