Sherlock's Haven's Mycroft's Pipe Tobacco Reviews

From Sherlock's Haven, San Francisco. The flecks of this medium-cut blend span the full range of light brown to nearly black, with a concentration of reddish medium-brown tones.

This satisfying, first-class oriental mixture contains a reasonable amount of latakia and provides a smooth, ever-so-slightly sweet smoke with just a bit of bite at the end of a smoke.

Its strength is somewhere between medium and full, leaning toward full―regular smokers of English blends would probably class it as medium, smokers of lighter blends would find it full.

Its rich taste is nuttier, cleaner and not quite as vibrant or as heavy on the palate as blends like Sobranie's 759 or McConnell's Oriental Mixture. As someone who really enjoys orientals, I find this blend's heavy room aroma, which is as nutty as it is smoky, to be especially pleasing.
