I've tried all of the tinned pipe tobaccos in Thompson's catalog. I have two favorites - this is one of them.

Whats in your pipe? This week we sample a tin of tobacco from Macanudo, Montego y Cia. The America blend. Made In the United States of America by Scandanavian Tobacco Group, Lane Limited. Coming in a one and three quarter ounce tin, this aromatic tobacco is a blend of premium Virginia's and Cavendishes with a note of vanilla. The Vanilla is ever so present upon opening the can. It smells good enough to eat! A good vacuum seal makes it a bit hard to open but on doing so, a sucking in of air proves just how well this was packaged. Good moisture content, could use a bit of aging, but we tried it upon opening. First off, it is like any aromatic, displaying a great room note. The Virginia and Cavendishes are mellow and easy to smoke. Barely any tongue bite, even on the heavy puffs. A nice slow burning tobacco with a rich vanilla flavor, through the first and second third of the bowl. Once you get down to the bottom it disapears. For the few bucks I paid for it, I would recommend this aromatic to a friend! ~Bryan
