Jamestown Tradition

[Mr.Lordi]

I got these samplers in the mail finally today and I figure I will review them and add them to the list.

*Disclaimer* I still consider myself a noob, so take what I say with a grain of salt.


I have not tried them all yet, so I will put the two down that I tried and write the other ones tomorrow.



Blend: Black Mixture
Kind: [SIZE=-1]A mix of Virginia, Burley and Black Cavendish.
Flavor:Mild
[/SIZE]
The smell to this blend is sweet and kind of bitter when you first smell it, but it's one you know you must try.

I gravity filled the tobacco, just because I felt lazy and didn't want to three layer it.

I will say the feel to the tobacco was a bit moist, but it lit well and needed a few relights.

the taste was mild and not to much flavor, but the flavor that was there wasn't bad at all. it left a nice taste on my tongue and it doesn't linger very long. it was very creamy. Much like Captain Black white, except it doesn't taste like cardboard like Captain can.

The room note is nice. Gentleman, this is one that will please the ladies if you light this up.

[SIZE=-1]Blend: Aromatic Mixture
Kind:[/SIZE][SIZE=-1] A Traditional Mix of Virginias, Orientals and Latakia. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Flavor:Mild

Ok, this one is going to get a higher mark, just for the fact it fills me with nostalgia. This smells almost like the one my Great-Uncle would smoke. I can remember my family and I going over to his place for a Christmas Party(or anytime we visited him) and he would light up his pipe and it smelled fantastic.

Once again, gravity filled. this one needed to be lit a bit more than the Black mix.

The taste is mild and smooth. I am not really sure as to what flavor it was, but it was pleasing non the less and I enjoyed it to the very end. the nostalgia had me to wrapped up to really think about the flavor.

Clearly the room note is amazing, another one of those lady killers.

This I would buy in bulk, just for the [/SIZE][SIZE=-1]nostalgia factor alone.

Blend: Rum Mixture
Kind:[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]Black Cavendish with a light aroma. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Flavor:

Review tomorrow


Blend: English Mixture
Kind:[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]A mix of Virginia, Burley & Black flavored with Rum.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Flavor:

Review tomorrow




Final thoughts:

to be concluded tomorrow.

Finally got around to the other two.

[SIZE=-1]
Blend: Rum Mixture
Kind:[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]Black Cavendish with a light aroma. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Flavor: Mild

Once again, this one is getting a fairly higher rating just because of the fact that the smell is just like whatever blend it is my Uncle Smokes. I will have to find out one of these days exactly what blend it was.

It lights well and stays lit pretty well too. I think that way it light also depends on how you pack this tobacco. I just grav-filled because sometimes I am too lazy for the three layer. lol

The room note is amazing. Once again, you got ladies around and they will flock to you. They should change the name of the blend to "Pimp in a pouch" lol

The taste is mild. infact, there almost is none. It mildly taste like it smells, which isnt much. it can taste a bit waxy at times (same for the aromatic) but you almost never notice it.



Blend: English Mixture
Kind:[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]A mix of Virginia, Burley & Black flavored with Rum.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Flavor: Mild

The smell of this pouch is almost like that of Dunhill My Mixture 965 (Which I also reviewed on this fourm) The taste is similar, but less sweet like My Mixture is. Kinda Harsh I thought, but I only tried this blend once.

Like the rest it lit well and relights are prob determined on how it's packed. once again, grav-filled.

The room note isn't bad, but deff not nice like the others. I would say not a crowd pleaser.




Final thoughts:

It should be noted that I experienced no tounge bite from any of these. Although the english bit a lil, but hardly at all.

It should also be noted that these are NOT amazing blends. You want something good, you should invest in real premium tobacco's. Still, if you are a noob to the pipe, you could do so much worse than these. I deff recommend these if you are new to the pipe as they are a good starting point. if you're more experienced you won't find much of anything in these tobacco's except some nice aromatics that would be pleasing to a crowd.

As a person that is not a fan of Aromatics, expect for maybe in smell only, I enjoyed these. I plan to grab up some more of the Rum and Aromatic ones for the memories they bring. I also might pick up some black because its not too shabby either.

Nice reviews. I am surprised they would name an aromatic blend "English Mixture".
