I just received my first order of Seattle Pipe Club: Plum Pudding last week. I could simply say "Amazing" and leave it at that. The tin note was very pleasing, certainly pick out the Lat and Perique. There is a combination of smokiness and earthy scents with slightly fruity undertones. I rubbed it out fully and allowed it to sit for about 45 minutes, this was more out of habit than feeling it was too moist. The first 1/4 of bowl the Latakia stood out the most, to me. Then the Perique kind of snuck in and combined to create a spicy, smokey goodness with muted fruity tastes. The flavors danced over my tongue and delivered a very pleasent tingle. Towards the end of a bowl it mellowed out nicely. This smoked to the bottom, leaving only a trace of dottle. I could not find any bite in this blend even when I really pushed it.
This could quite possibly be the best tasting toby I have ever tried, it is THAT good, to me. I could easily put it in my "go to" choices but will probably think of it as more a treat say once a week. As for room note, I can't say much for myself because I am not a good judge of that when I am smoking the blend but I can report that my wife scrunched up her nose at the tim aroma but thought the room note was ok, not terrible but not fantastic. I highly recommend this blend as I think it is what pipe smoking is all about.
