Milan Tobacconists House Blend Reviews

[Bruck]

I'd read your review, but I'm too busy admiring that pipe. What an awesome stem that thing has! Or shank. Whatever.

[Cool Breeze]

Name: Milan Sportsman

Blend: Cavendish, burly and Virginia

Topping: vanilla, butternut, cherry and pineapple

Smoked in: cobs

This tobacco is a nice mellow aromatic that does not overpower you with syrupy sweetness. You get the fruity flavors of the topping without it feeling like there is a syrup coating on your tongue.
The vanilla comes out plainly. The cherry is subtle. Sometimes you get it and sometimes you do not. The butternut is noticeable in the tin/bag note but I cannot distinguish it in the flavor of the smoke. The pineapple is very interesting. It gives the blend a tangy/sour note that is very pleasant. At first I did not think I would like it when I read it in the description but it turns out I certainly did.

At first I thought this blend tasted a lot like Celebration that I had reviewed first, but after packing 2 cobs and smoking them side by side it was not the case. The pineapple really sets this blend part from other aromatics. It really does add a unique twist that I really enjoyed.

Room note is wonderful.

Another solid top quality blend from Milan.
