If you've ever wondered, as I have, what it was like being a pipe smoker back the day, Bestmake might be the time machine to take you back.
Tin description:
One of the oldest Wilke recipes. Virginia and Burleys are mixed with a non-aromatic Black Cavendish tobacco and topped with a generous amount of superior Latakia creating a traditional medium strength English blend. A rich mellow blend in the true British tradition
When I smoke a blend like this, I don't think of it as being British, I think of it as being a retro or American blend. Maybe its the burlies, maybe I'm all wrong. In any case, this is a grand tobacco blend.
There is something special about what burley and just the right amount of Latakia do together. Here they make a round, smooth, slightly rich presentation. The Virginia and Cavendish fill the blend out, adding sweetness, just a smidgin of tang, and some body. All in all its a well balanced medium blend I could smoke all day.
