Manufacturer Description:
Particularly aromatic tobacco varieties - seven Virginia grades, exquisite spice tobaccos, and Black Cavendish - combine to create a blend that captivates with its wealth of diverse flavor nuances. A genuine tobacco without added flavors.
Characterisation:
The pouch of the Original Tobacco T. is resealable, but for longer storage, the tobacco should be transferred to an airtight container. The medium- and black-brown fibers are tightly pressed into the pouch. Loosening them reveals a curly, wider cut and a sweet scent of raisins and hay. Thanks to the tight compression in the pouch, the tobacco is not too dry and retains some residual moisture—you can let it trickle into your pipe immediately after opening the package.
Plugging:
The Original Tobacco T. is easy to fill the pipe. Starting loosely and ending with gentle pressure will ensure a good filling.
Light up:
The Original Tobacco T. takes the flame well. The surface only needs to be smoothed slightly with the tamper before lighting it evenly a second time.
Smoking properties:
The Original Tobacco T. produces a mild, smooth smoke, yet is quite spicy. Its flavor is just as uncomplicated as its burn. The toasted bread note typical of Virginia tobaccos dominates, blending well with the tobacco spice. More unusual are the hints of nuts and wood, more commonly found in more exclusive tobaccos. After the Original Tobacco T. has burned down gently, only a light gray ash and hardly any condensate remain in the pipe.
Redolency:
> Original Tobacco T. is a natural tobacco, which also reflects this in the room. It's not overly harsh, but one should be considerate in the company of non-smokers.
Conclusion:
The Original Tobacco T. is easy to carry around in its practical pouch. The medium- to black-brown blend of curly and broad fibers is just as easy to prepare. Mild yet spicy, the Original Tobacco T. smokes relaxed and surprises - alongside the expected toasted notes - with the more unusual taste of nuts and wood. Here, the Original Tobacco T. scores points with an aroma that is otherwise associated with more peculiar tobaccos, and does so in a completely natural way. So, if you're looking for an uncomplicated tobacco that you can smoke at anytime and that has a clear, but not boring, flavor profile, the Original Tobacco T. won't disappoint.
