Another 6 tins

[Subotaj]

I ordered another 6 tins.





1. Solani Aged Burley Flake #656 (50g tin)
Solani Aged Burley Flake (Blend 656) A skillful mixture of three aged Burley's - dark brown Burley from Kentucky, light Burley from Brazil, and white Burley from Malawi - Southeast Africa. A very natural blend with absolutely no additives or flavors - a true Burley blend.




2. McClelland Grand Orientals Yenice Agonya (50g) Tin
[SIZE=2]A Mild Turkish Blend. Grown near the Sea of Marmara, not far from the ancient Troy or Illium, this wide, fine-textured, reddish yellow Turkish tobacco variety is renowned for being smooth on the palate with a delicate aroma. Yenice is pronounced Yenidje in Turkish, and the Agonya seed from which it is grown is of Xanthi origin (that first Yenidje of legend). This blend is designed to highlight the beautiful Agonya leaf's mellow taste and subtle fragrance.[/SIZE]




3. MacBaren HH Mature Virginia (3.5oz. tin)
HH Mature Virginia is the second blend in the HH line. Like the first HH blend the inspiration came from recipes developed around 1890. This wonderful blend is typical for that time and is easy to describe as a “back to nature” tobacco. The taste of the HH Mature Virginia comes from the full and rich natural flavours of the many different Virginia tobaccos.
Creating this blend was a challenge of an extraordinary art. Looking at many different recipes we were inspired by the talented use of Virginia tobaccos to make the natural sweetness come out. Another inspiring idea was the use of very specific Virginias to reduce the tongue bite to almost nothing without compromising the sweetness. However, one thing is to have an idea, another is to actually taste the idea come true. After several months of testing and adjusting we can now say that our plan has become reality! - It has become HH Mature Virginia.
All together we have used 22 different tobaccos to create this blend and of these 15 are Virginia tobaccos. Before blending the tobacco the Virginias has been stored for years to mature and develop the final aromas, just like when good wine is put aside for aging. Virginia types like bright yellow/golden leaf, mature red/mahogany leaf, dark Virginia and a black Virginia Cavendish are blended and left to store so that each tobacco taste marry into a taste unity.
To enhance and support the Virginias a touch of Oriental is added and finally the taste is rounded with just an easy hand of pressed Burley. Looking at this blend you feel curious to have a closer look as the colour variation invites to a closer examination.
Smelling the tobacco you will know why we choose the name Mature Virginia for this blend. A scent of smokiness combined with a natural sweetness is the general impression however, smelling more closely you will discover something else. To describe that is difficult, actually impossible– it's a bit of a Mystery.
Once you light up your pipe with HH Mature Virginia the sweet Virginia tobaccos will greet you and slowly the dark Virginia will enter the taste. We have not used any dark Virginia in any of our blends for more than 100 years so it was about time to rediscover this fantastic tobacco. To the taste in HH Mature Virginia it means that a slightly smoky note is added to the sweet Virginia taste. Over time experience how the complex naturally sweet/smoky taste grows in power making HH Mature Virginia a satisfying blend to smoke – and with no tongue bite.
Rome was not created in a day and neither was HH Mature Virginia. It takes time to create perfection in a tobacco blend and we strongly believe we have found the right combination of Virginias to excite and satisfy your pallet.



4.[SIZE=2] GL Pease Westminster (2oz. tin)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]The very essence of the Traditional English mixture: rich, elegant, refined, and exquisitely balanced. New World red virginias are enhanced with a gentle caress of bright leaf, then lavishly seasoned with rich oriental tobaccos and generous measures of noble Cypruss mountain Latakia. Westminster is a satisfying blend, presenting layers of flavor to delight the senses as it develops in the bowl. Great for an every day English![/SIZE]



5. Cornell & Diehl Tin - Opening Night (2 oz. tin)
[SIZE=2]A delicious blend of the finest Red and Bright Virginias pressed to perfection and sliced into flakes[/SIZE]



6. Cornell & Diehl Tin - Sunday Picnic (2 oz. tin)
[SIZE=2]Golden Virginia combined with Perique and Izmir Turkish for a delicious and memorable flake tobacco.[/SIZE]

Opening Night is on my list... i'm hearing more and more about the Matured Virginian but I had a bad experience w/ a MacB blend, so hopefully i'm not classically conditioned just yet

Me too, I tried many of MacB blends (MacB is very popular here in Israel) and most of them are bad some of them are very bad. but i should give a chance to HH.

Excellent looking selection!

You managed to get 6 tins of blends I have never tried.

I hope you'll return with a review of them. I'm especially interested in the McClelland's Yenice Agonya....I'd love to get a tin of each of those "Grand Orientals."

[Vrbas]

Let me know what you think of that Solani Aged Burley...

[Isombitch]

The Yenice Agonya is one of my favs but the last tin had too much perique.

Those two C&Ds sound great, too! I think I'll add them to my next order.

Thanks for sharing, bro!
