Georgetown's Cube Cut Pipe Tobacco Reviews

Perhaps typical for a cube-cut, medium-dark burley mix. Strong and unequivocally non-aromatic, with a distinctive heavy and tangy nutty flavour that I can find most enjoyable under certain circumstances, yet rather harsh under others. It doesn't even have the slightest hint of sweetness and it rides the line between being smooth and biting, probably depending on the smoker's individual palate.

 

I find this to be a somewhat smoother and cooler smoke than the Edward's Colonial sample that I recently finished; they are very similar mixtures in terms of flavour. I smoked them in the same pipe, my Genod 1/2 bent curved-bore. The difference I perceived may be as simple as the fact that I've had this Georgetown Tobacco sample for probably about a year, so maybe it's mellowed out a bit.

 

Or maybe my sample of Colonial was a little too dry. In either case, it's a tobacco with a strong natural aroma and contains a good helping of nicotine. It burns well due to its short cut-style, so take care if you're a fast smoker because it can become bitter-tasting in no time. Slow smoking guarantees full appreciation of the full nutty taste.

 

I like its uncomplicated room aroma quite a bit, it reminds me somehow of my grandfather's old house. This is a pretty good tobacco, but I have a penchant for more complex aromas and flavours after a while. Burns down to a dusty grey ash. Thanks to Dr. Ray for the sample.
