Manufacturer Description:
China, a land of opposites. Large, primal, fast-paced, while at the same calm, considerate and rich in culture. Slightly flowery and fruity aromas form the character of “China‘s Heaven“. The medium strong Virginia and Burley provenances of this Ready Rubbel Flake combine perfectly with headstrong flavor and form a wonderfully balanced alliance of aromas. An uncomplicated tobacco for relaxed hours of enjoyment. …no road is too long with a friend at your side (Confucius).
Characterisation:
When the tin is opened the Ready Rubbed The Blender's Pride Chinas Heaven can be seen as cut narrow, but rubbed out rather coarse. Light to medium-brown tobaccos with darker proportions are predominant. A creamy-flowery and sweetish fruit smell rises into the nose. The tobacco is well conditioned, but it can be left to dry just before smoking.
Plugging:
Since the The Blender's Pride China's Heaven is a rather coarse Ready Rubbed, one should take into account that the pressed tobacco fibers rise under the flame. Therefore fill the pipe only with gentle pressure and not to the extreme edge.
Light up:
Due to its tendency to rise when lit, the The Blender's Pride China´s Heaven requires more than one flame and the repeated use of the tamper until a smooth surface with even embers is formed. However, the burning after successful ignition is without further problems.
Smoking properties:
Carefully prepared, The Blender's Pride China's Heaven smokes very uncomplicated. The smoke is initially tobacco, but creamy and point to the gentle Virginias and the soft Burley, which the manufacturer has used. The aromas, as announced, are discreet and allow the tobaccos enough space to unfold their own aromas. Only in the background, the coconut flavor is warm and creamy to taste, the delicate tangerine however takes its opulence. This pleasant interplay between aroma and tobacco lasts until the last third of the filling until the tobaccos are somewhat spicier, then extinguish. Medium gray ash, few unburnt crumbs and - very unusual for a flavored tobacco! - almost no condensation makes cleaning very easy.
Redolency:
The redolence of The Blender's Pride China Heaven is aromatic and may be accepted in tolerant society.
Conclusion:
The Blender's Pride China's Heaven is a coarser, mostly medium-brown Ready Rubbed Flake, with a subtle scent already indicating that you do not have to fear a sticky-sweet Pina Colada. After the plugging and igniting requires some experience, a very uncomplicated, medium-strong smoke is surprising, which shows that aromas can also be used as a support. The mild Virginias and the Burley are never thinned by the creamy coconuts and floral tones of the tangerines - on the contrary, they give the tobacco more depth by showing the natural tobacco aromas. If you're not expecting a Danish Mixture at The Blender's Pride China's Heaven you will find a tobacco for any time of the day, which is certainly not disappointing.
