This is my first rope tobacco as IÂ’m a relative new comer to the world of pipe smoking having moved over from cigars. I am a bit of a puffer with a pipe which can cause problems with aromatics and certain types which get quite hot. This however I found a cool and satisfying smoke. I order a sample first as I wasnÂ’t sure if it would be my cup of tea. On opening the pouch I was greeted with a a dark rope which almost resembled a large cigar in its thickness but squashed and more compressed. It has a smokey smell and also a slight vinegar smell (not unpleasant). I cut off a few slices which fell apart on the cutting board. I decided to break them apart by hand and then chopped the pipe into smaller pieces and began to pack my pipe. Once filled I realised I had packed it too tight for a sufficient draw and repacked again ensuring I had an easy draw through the pipe. I repacked about 3/4 of my original packing when reloading the pipe and lit it up. It took a bit longer than loose tobacco to light but when going it only required a few re-lights through the whole bowl. It is a smokey flavour which reminded me of a bbq and I donÂ’t mean in a horrible way. It is a really nice smoke and gives you a really good nicotine hit. The after taste is not unpleasant and I was rather surprised how cool it smoked and no tongue burn. I was left with a fine powder at the end which I think is a good sign you get your moneyÂ’s worth from a tobacco. If you have never tried a rope before I would recommend this as I have found it a very pleasant experience. The pipe used was a cob pipe which I use when smoking new types.
