This pipe tobacco was inspired by and blended to remind the smoker of the grand and oriental city it was named after. Cairo is a pipe tobacco blend made from Orientals, Perique, and most importantly Virginia tobacco. The body of this tobacco is flavorful and has a more pleasant room note than you might expect.

Wonderful
This is a quality tobacco. Enjoying it very much. Not heavy or harsh. Can’t tell you about flavors or notes or any such thing. Just know what I like!

Excellent
I’m a newcomer to all this, but ‘Cairo’ is some fine pipe tobacco. Not harsh; sweet, nutty maybe and something else going on that I can’t quite nail down. Very satisfying.

Excellent blend
This is a very fine blend. It does need some care to get the most out of it such as a proper pack and a bit of time to dry in the bowl before lighting. Once lit, the pace of draws needs to be slower to allow the blend to stay cool. All that said, the flavor is superb and well worth a bit of preparation. the spice is soft and alluring, the delicate flavor of the orientals is out front the entire bowl. If you have not tried this blend I highly recommend it for the excellent flavor profile. Pure Oriental bliss!

A Favorite Blend
The tin aroma of this blend is wonderful. This is a virginia oriental blend with a naturally sweet taste. The oriental leaf is not sour or tart, thankfully. That makes this blend easy to smoke. The perique is added in very small amount just to cool the blend. It is not strong but it has a full body. The cut is fine and this smokes fast, but I don't mind that.

Nice
This is a good Virginia, Oriental blend. The touch of Perique adds to the blend without overwhelming it. Very nice.
