E. Hoffman Company: Distinguished Gentleman

Has anyone tried this? E. Hoffman Company: Distinguished Gentleman

The tin description sounds good:
"An elegant & captivation pipe tobacco comprised of select choice leaf, gently fragrant with an intoxicating aroma. The taste and aroma preferred by men of distinction."

Opps.. that was the website description. This is the tin description.
"An elegant & captivating pipe tobacco comprised of select choice leaf (Burley, Virginia, Black Cavendish and Cyprian Latakia), gently fragrant with an intoxicating aroma. A classic crossover tobacco blended to satisfy the smoker while pleasing those around them."

I haven't tried it, but I did smoke 3-bowls of Spilman Mixture yesterday.

I've had Spilman's Mixture and really enjoyed it. I'd call it a middle English blend so I wonder if this new one is a bit milder. Guess there's only one way to find out.

Just ran across the stuff online. Looks like it's worth a try to me.

The Cigars are excellent. Looks like another pipe blend to try. From here on out YOU people will be receiving all blame for my expenditures!

I like the description of this tobacco....looks like my List grows longer... :?

 

[pappy]

Well... looks like I'm gonna have to take one for the team. :roll: I'm gonna look for some locally today. If I can't find any I'll order it. I'll post a review after I've had a chance to get to know the distinguished gentleman.

Ive' had some Spilman's Mixture around here for some time now, and enjoy a bowl from time to time. I'll have to try some of this new stuff.

As for their cigars, I ordered several Short Perfectos and couldn't smoke them. They were all wrapped too tight. I just threw them in the trash.

I believe that this blend is made and only sold by Iwan Ries in Chicago.

Papipeguy: That is who I ordered it from, but it is also available from smokingpipes.com. Price is reasonable even with shipping. I hope to have it soon.

I've been smoking Spilman's Mixture for years.

This new one does sound interesting.

It sounds good, I look forward to trying it. It comes from Iwan Ries, so it must be good.
