I have only smoked Smoker Friendly Jamaican Rum out of my Dr. Grabow Omega. Since I am a new pipe smoker I took the advice of the man working at my local Cigarette Shopper. I have no other type of tobacco to compare this to, however, I really enjoy the taste and smell of this Jamaican Rum. I know that someday I will try other types of tobacco, but for now, this does the job!
