Manufacturer Description:
The basis of this balanced Mixture is yellow to golden brown Virginia, processed by traditional methods and cut into long fibers. Some double fermented Black Cavendish and toasted Burley are added to round it off. Flavored with fruity-sweet cherry notes, it results in a medium-bodied blend, full-bodied and mild-tongued in the smoke flavor, suitable for all sizes of pipe bowls.
Characterisation:
If you choose the Brigg C in the pouch, it can be easily taken on your way, for longer storage - especially when it is opened - the version in the tin is recommended. When opened, an intense sweet scent immediately tickles the nose, which is not reminiscent of cherries but rather of red fruit tea. The mixture of tobaccos is uniformly light, medium and dark brown, with the tobacco fibers are cut rather short and wide, especially in the dark fibers the wider cut is particularly noticeable. The Brigg C is by no means too damp and can be plugged immediately.
Plugging:
As usual for loose Mixtures, the Brigg C can be simply plugged by starting loosely down and getting tighter at the top. That's all it takes to ensure an even burning.
Light up:
After using the tamper once after the first flame and another match, the Brigg C burns down calm and evenly.
Smoking properties:
For a flavored tobacco, the Brigg C is unusually smoky. Yes, it is tart-spicy, rather like pure tobacco, with interesting sour and resinous notes. However, this natural-looking taste impression is permeated by a flowery sweetness that has nothing to do with the sometimes artificially sticky cherry aromas that some aromatics come up with. The strength is moderate and the burn is as easy and uncomplicated as one could wish for. The medium gray ash and the few condensate are a bit sticky, but do not do too much cleaning work.
Redolency:
In the redolence of Brigg C mix tobacco and sweet aroma, so that the smoke is not necessarily distracting and the Brigg C can certainly be smoked in tolerant company.
Conclusion:
Although the short and broad cutted, brown-shaded Brigg C is a sweet-smelling blend, it surprises with surprisingly spicy notes of flavor. At first one thinks to smoke a pure tobacco, so tart appears the Brigg C, even sourish and resinous flavors are to taste, as one finds also with natural tobaccos rarely. In the background, however, there is always a slight sweetness that is not intrusive and thus closes the gap between the very sweet aromatics and natural blends. Due to the moderate strength and the quiet burning, the Brigg C is well suited for beginners who are not only attracted by “flavour bombs”.
