As of ten minutes ago, I am now in posession of three orange-scented pipe tobacco blends:



Planta Anno MMXIII California Dream

Peter Heinrichs Reserve Cru #2

Rattrays Exotic Orange
Each is quite different from the other, with the orange scent ranging from cheap candy fake to very delicious and enticing, and the cut from rough cut small pieces to long-cut pressed flake.
Review pending full recovery from a recent cold.

That Rattray's tin just makes me hungry. Looking forward to the reviews.

I wonder if pressing orange peel and tobacco into a cake for a few weeks would work?

Chasingembers sent me some of the Rattray's Exotic Orange a while back, and it is wonderful. Enjoy

Tim just sent me a tin. Should I jar it now? I have not unwrapped it from the inner cellophane packaging? I have the California Dream... Jury is still out. Hoping the Rattray’s quality comes through with the orange.

Oh crap, never sent you any! God I'm getting old. I would go ahead and jar it.

Jar it.

The tobacco is packed in a bag that is not air tight. You can smell the blend when you open the tin.

Will do. Does it ghost? ChasingEmbers, I forgot all about that. If you want to try California Dream, let me know. Will be happy to send you some for comparison to Rattray’s.

It does leave a slightly sweet ghost after multiple bowls, but clears easily.

I just took a closer look at the Rattray's tin, and the bag O' baccy inside isn't even sealed.

Nope, just folded over and taped with a Rattray's label.

Very bizarre. Is the cellophane magical?

Nah, Solani's tons are the same way. I just jar them as soon as I get them.

So are you saying the Solani 100g tins are not sealed Duane? I have a couple of 100g tins of 633 and they aren't cheap.
Well WTF! I opened one. I'm glad I saw this thread. Why in the world would a company put out tins that aren't sealed without saying so on the tin? That is just nuts.

Yeah, I know. Silver Flake is expensive, and not sealed at all. Luckily, Sixpence tastes enough like it to me, is sealed, and is cheaper. :mrgreen:

I think the 50g tins are sealed, but the 100g tins are like Exotic Orange.

I'll have to try those. I have smoked California Dream and enjoyed it. The taste is more like orange blossoms than an orange but still good.
