Characterisation:
As soon as the tin of the Jubiläumsedition 170 Jahre (Anniversary Edition 170 Years) has been opened, the out standing scent pours into your nose. An aroma that is not immediately associated with tobacco, but with spicy herbs in the hot summer sun: intense, spicy, almost camphor-like. The tobaccos show a cut in medium width and length and are medium and light brown with darker proportions. Cube Cut is barely noticeable and the tobacco looks a bit sticky and compressed, so you can let the tobacco pre-dry for an hour before plugging.
Plugging:
The Jubiläumsedition 170 Jahre, like any loose Mixture, can be plugged first loosely and tighter at the top. Since the tobacco rises slightly due to its dampness, one should take care not to make the pipe too full.
Light up:
Due to its moisture, the Jubiläumsedition 170 Jahre requires the smoothing use of the tamper and several flames until an uniform glow emanates.
Smoking properties:
The smoke of the Jubiläumsedition 170 Jahre is cool, as it is known from essential oils. The lemony-fresh rosemary note is clearly to taste and looks very natural. In addition, however, resinous and woody aromas can be tasted, which can be attributed to both the basic tabacco used, as well as the aroma, which covers a similar spectrum. Smoky roasted aromas and the uncomplicated course of the smoke make it varied and aromatic. As the aroma fades, the pipe soon goes out and light grey ashes and some condensate are left behind. However, these are removed quite quickly.
Redolency:
The redolency of the Jubiläumsedition 170 Jahre is characterized by the aroma spicy and penetrating, which could also be perceived by non-smoking society as pleasant.
Conclusion:
The Jubiläumsedition 170 Jahre is a medium and light brown Mixture that smells very intensely of rosemary. This aroma is also found in the smoke, as lifelike as one can only expect from a flavored tobacco. However, the flavoring does not gloss over the underlying tobaccos, which add smoky toasted notes and harmonize well with the resinous, woody aromas. Apart from the somewhat cumbersome preparation, the Jubiläumsedition 170 Jahre both in terms of strength and smoking behavior is quite suitable for beginners. Those who can make friends with an unusual flavor will find in the Jubiläumsedition 170 Jahre a very well-flavored tobacco, which offers a very exclusive taste experience.
