Hi Christos. I have not tested it yet. Is it too aromatic, or does it taste like tobacco? It is a fairly cheap tobacco in my local tobacconist's shop. And I don't want to risk ordering a package with 250 grams.

Hi John. Why don't you try with a smaller quantity? It is an aromatic blend (but I like them). In the first bowls I had a "cigarette like" feeling which I think is fading. I have not made a final decision. Many smokers like it.

Inspired by Winterreise's new deerstalker hat and jiminks's posts about Basil Rathbone's favourite tobacco blend, I'm going to have Wilkes Pipe Tobacco #515 (bag note is really nice) in a Peterson's 2021 Pipe of the Year, the 4AB, with Terracotta finish, number 122/500. I was going to polish the silver, but, I'm kind of digging the weird rainbow tarnish for now (it reminds me of heat treated titanium). If I look in the mirror, I guess I can pretend this pipe is numbered 221 and go full Sherlockiana geek out.

Hi Christos. Good evening. I can't buy only 50 grams bag, in my tobacconist they only sell me 5 bags. They don't have a variety of bags in their display cases. I always have to order a minimum of one pack of 250g. Everything I order is by catalog. But if you say it's not a very saucy, hoop-laden tobacco, I may take the risk and buy. I was trying the mb: mellow choice and couldn't finish the bag, it was too cloying. Thanks for the information. Best regards from Spain..............
