Manufacturer Description:
Casablanca – a classic in cinema history, exciting, suspenseful, romantic. All these attributes apply to Virginia Ready Rubbed Flake as well. Its herbal spicy, citrus flowery aroma is exciting and seductive and blends perfectly with the Virginia‘s tartly sweet taste. A great, fascinating Broken for friends and lovers of the tartly sweet tastes. Just like the movie about Rick, Ilsa and Laszlo, “Casablanca Feeling“ has what it takes to become a classic. …I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Characterisation:
The Blender's Pride Casablanca Feeling is a well-rubbed dark brown Ready Rubbed with medium brownish proportions and in the preserved Flake bits shows golden speckles. The warm, spicy-aromatic scent is reminiscent of herbal tea blends, but is also sweetish and reminds of chocolate - despite no such aromatization. The Blender's Pride Casablanca Feeling is not pappy between the fingers, but like many flavored and Ready Rubbed tobaccos, it should be allowed to dry before smoking.
Plugging:
Even pre-dried The Blender's Pride Casablanca Feeling should also be plugged carefully. This means, above all, not too tightly and not as far as the outermost edge of the tobacco chamber, since the pressed tobacco fibers can rise under the flame and thus a difficult puffing can arise. A little practice leaves these problems quickly forgotten.
Light up:
The Blender's Pride Casablanca Feeling should be attentively lit. It may require several flames and the repeated use of the tamper to produce an uniform ember. Experience helps to master these difficulties.
Smoking properties:
The somewhat cumbersome preparation of The Blender's Pride Casablanca Feeling atones for by the very appealing aroma. A flavor bomb should not be expected, but this the tobacco does not want to be! On the contrary, the main attention of the tobacco masters here was to compose the flavoring as a companion of the tobaccos used. So that even experienced smokers will ask whether the herbaceous but mild nutty that they taste, the aroma or the used tobaccos and their natural aromas are to be attributed. This reaches until nearly the end of the filling. The burning is completely indispensable, and in the end only some medium-gray ash, some unburnt crumbs, and little condensation in the pipe remain, which is easy to clean.
Redolency:
The Blender's Pride Casablanca Feeling is just as flavourful in the smoke as it is in the taste - it smells for tobacco and needs a tolerant society, if it should be smoked under non-smokers.
Conclusion:
The Blender's Pride Casablanca Feeling is a well rubbed, medium brown Ready Rubbed with lighter proportions which should be pre-dried and carefully stuffed and ignited due to its moisture. This is aimed at not quite inexperienced smokers who do not shy away from dealing with tobacco. The Blender's Pride Casablanca Feeling is worth the extra effort, because its aromatization is chosen that the tobaccos are not pushed in the background, but are supported and promoted in their own nutty spice. So the tobacco could be smoked by the way, but it is much too bad for it!
