Andy Bryson –
I was directed to this after seeing Toking Tommy’s review on youtube. I wouldn’t normally have tried a tobacco with a fruit essence as I am prejudiced against aromatics, but I needn’t have worried. The citrus essence in the tobacco is a mere hint. It’s like a flavour guide, it points towards the other flavours already within the blend and brings them out to perfection. It’s a lovely mellow, yet flavourful smoke that has impressed me immensely. Also the service from The Edinburgh Pipe shop is second to none – while the website is great, phone them for your order as the chat you get is fabulous!
