I received a 50g tin as part of a really great pipe smokers dream birthday gift this weekend from a Canadian friend. From what I've been able to find out so far this is a Brigham product but is actually blended in Germany.

I haven't gotten into it yet and was wondering if anyone here has tried it and has an opinion to share?

Hey Dot, been meaning to do that.

I did and I like it. I'm no reviewer but here goes.

The flakes are thin and fairly dry out of the tin. I fold and stuff flakes usually and that worked well with this blend with a couple of relights per bowl. This blend smoked easily to the bottom of the bowl as well with no dottle, nothing but nice grey/white ash left behind. It smoked sweet, dry and cool to the end with a slightly fruity taste (plum maybe?) now and then but mostly I noticed just a nice smooth sweetness of the Virginias; nothing complicated. Room note was good as my lady companions enjoyed it and commented. As a plus no unpleasant aftertaste either.

I'll be asking my Canadian friend to bring a few tins down with him next trip.
