Sobranie Blue Reserve

[JimInks]

I know there's two old Sobranie blends in blue tins, Reserve Blend Scottish No.3 and Reserve Blend Aromatic No. 7. I have heard there is one simply called Blue Reserve. The tin description is different from the other two I mentioned:
A beautiful mixture of Burley, Virginia, Oriental, and Kentucky tobacco's. Topped with the flavour of Single Malt Whiskey, Walnuts, with Blossom like undertones that translate well into the smoke. A pure pleasure for the smoker and company a-like.
Is there anyone here who know of this particular blend?

Here's No. Three and No. Seven:

As for "Blue Reserve" I have never heard of it, although it sounds intriguing...

I think you are talking about this:

It was posted here on forum:

I don't think that is it, because it doesn't fit the tobacco description.

I see Jim, I found the pdf file below however there is no information there either:

I read that, too. One would think if it was made, it would have been in that file.

The author of that article, Jon Guss, is a member here. Why not send him a PM and see what he knows about it?

 

[JimInks]

I would if either the search engine or the members directory were worth anything. Can't find a post of his here to use to PM him. Can somebody help me out?

 

[huntertrw]

I just sent a PM to Mr. Guss requesting that he weigh-in on this thread.

 

[JimInks]

Thank you, Tim.

The Reserve Blend No.3(blue) is a great blend as is the Aromatic No.7(brown). I've never heard of a different topped blue tin or any topped Sobranie blend.

the members directory were worth anything

You were being polite Jim. The aforementioned directory is shit...

I have found out that this blend is actually a new blend sold at The Pipe Shop in the UK. Evidently, they decided to use the Sobranie name to help sales on this product. Check out the fourth item on this page: http://www.thepipeshop.co.uk/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?REFPAGE=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2ethepipeshop%2eco%2euk%2facatalog%2fLoose_Blends%2ehtml&WD=leiths&PN=Loose_Blends%2ehtml%23a1047#a1047

That's what I was thinking, a new blend. Glad you found it Jim.
