Captain Earle’s Ten Russians
This is my favorite pipe tobacco. I should have tried this first because I would have saved many a dollar spent on other English blends. These adjectives come to mind as I try to describe it: Heavy Latakia ( which I love ), Smoky, Woodsy, Sweet, and Creamy. This krumble cake is easily broken apart, and smokes very cool - no bite what so ever. It comes with a perfect moisture content and burns easily to the bottom of the bowl. I love the smoky aroma left in the room, but I’m sure others would not appreciate the campfire essence. This is my mainstay with Pirate Kake being a very close second. I keep plenty of both available. I don’t know what else I can say about an exceptional tobacco.

BBQ flavor
This Russian tobacco has a great savory, smoked pulled pork barbeque flavor. I’d say this Is an experienced pipe smoked tobacco.
