Worth knowing

This classic is probably still known to experienced pipe smokers under the Dunhill banner, as this brand sold the rights to the recipes to Peterson. If you want Latakia flavour without too much oomph, this is the perfect blend for you!

Flavour

The balanced blend of two different Virginias, some Latakia and other first-class Oriental tobaccos strikes a wonderful balance of sweetish-creamy and spicy-spicy facets. The latent "bready" sourness of the Virginia is barely noticeable here, which is evidence of careful fermentation. Multi-layered spicy tones of an "oriental" character are charmingly interwoven with the unmistakable smoky and incense notes of Latakia, which nevertheless lack any penetrating character here. An "only" medium-bodied, strikingly mild English blend!

The division of the former "Aromatic" range into "Signature" and the higher-priced "Artist Collection" really makes sense, as the magnificent metal tins of the latter are decorated with truly valuable artistic motifs. Here you feel visually transported to the tropics!

Flavour

As the beautiful palm tree motif on the tin suggests, the flavour journey here is clearly to the Caribbean. Anyone who is reminded of a pina colada by the just the right amount of coconut, vanilla and a wonderfully sweet fruit potpourri of tropical fruits such as mango and pineapple is certainly not wrong! Creamy melting, luscious sweetness and fresh, very slightly acidic nuances combine to create a flavour experience of perfect harmony that magnificently underlines the natural, nutty and delicately spicy facets of the tobaccos used.

The renowned pipe manufacturer Angelo provides newbies among pipe smokers with this sensationally affordable starter set. Its centrepiece is, of course, a pipe from the brand, made from fine briar wood, with a 9 mm bore and acrylic mouthpiece. The individual pipe models differ. There is also a stylish pipe case made of high-quality black imitation leather with an integrated removable tobacco pouch. A practical multifunctional pipe tamper made of sturdy light metal completes the set, as do 3 pipe cleaners and 3 filters.

This "Wild Cut", designed to burn perfectly, combines a wide variety of cut shapes and widths with an original triad of flavor additives: Grape, cherry and bourbon vanilla rock the house - a great pleasure!

Flavour

While it is usually Virginia, black and brown Cavendish make up the majority of the blend here. Red and golden Virginia is also in play, as are rare "cube cuts" (flake in cube form). The result is an exciting and rich smoking experience full of natural, balanced tobacco flavors. The fruity-sweet, moderately dosed aroma additives provide color and variety: slightly tart grapes, fully ripe sweet cherries and the flattering, noble bouquet of the finest bourbon vanilla make this mild blend a favorite for any time of day.

Worth knowing

The beautiful Low German verb "trüllen" is related to the English "to drill" and means "to twist" or "to wind", in other words: the activity of a cigar roller! And so this unsauced tobacco is as down-to-earth and honest as the craft that gives it its name.

Flavour

Offering friends of natural pipe tobacco a blend consisting only of Virginia may seem daring. However, it has succeeded brilliantly - because the quality and combination of the leaves used are, as usual with the Nuremberg specialists, beyond any doubt. Red and orange Virgina from leaves high up on the plant builds up plenty of sugar and appears stronger than low leaf stands. We are treated to floral sweetness, subtle spicy nuances, but also a full body with a solid medium strength. Tobacco lovers need nothing else!

Worth knowing

Here we don't want to find the name of the tobacco in the taste, as it is more reminiscent of the beaches of Jamaica than the venerable city center of London. Perhaps the bridge, built in 1894, is intended to symbolize the Victorians' craze for tropical fruits.

Aroma

With the aromatization that refines the balanced, medium-bodied base blend here, you can dream yourself away from Tower Bridge to an exotic tropical beach in what is considered to be a rather rainy London! A colourful potpourri of tropical fruits provides opulent sweetness with minimal subtle acidic overtones - pineapple and mango are more than just a hint and harmonize beautifully with the natural soft honey note of the golden and red Virginia. A noble hint of vanilla is the perfect complement. Fire, depth and even more blissful sweetness come into play thanks to the added rum.

Worth knowing

A wide range of flavors without any artificial additives - this is what Rattray's “British” line stands for like no other. If you want to enjoy the spice of oriental tobaccos without excessive strength, the “Siebener” is guaranteed to be the right choice!

Aroma

The medium-bodied loose cut is based on a blend of various excellent Virginias, so that it always retains a creamy-soft, subtly sweet basic character. However, it is the oriental varieties that provide the special kick - the tried and tested Syrian Latakia with its unmistakable incense notes, but also spicy oriental tobacco with a taste of tea and herbs. The indestructible Black Cavendish, which is so dark due to a special fermentation process and has a delicately spicy-sweet profile, rounds off the enjoyment experience in perfect doses.

Worth knowing

George Mallory, an early icon of extreme mountaineering, did not have a happy ending - he did not survive an attempt to conquer Mount Everest in 1924. There is no threat of such a fall with “his” tobacco - it is a real highlight!

Aroma

This racy, rather strong Brit is the “7 Reserve” for advanced smokers, so to speak. The same types of tobacco are used, but in a completely different mixing ratio, resulting in a completely different taste experience. The full-bodied Latakia, which is so characteristic of typical British tobacco creations, clearly sets the tone here. Its diverse spicy notes are cushioned by two types of Virginias with different cut widths, while sweet Cavendish and a pinch of Oriental tobacco provide a wealth of attractive nuances. Rich and intense!

Worth knowing

The unusual name refers to Irish irregulars who fought on the side of the Royalists against Cromwell's army in the 17th century - but later tended to be highwaymen. And this powerful tobacco is just as tough - tough but hearty!

Flavour

Syrian Latakia and other spicy oriental tobaccos make the music here. The taste experience is correspondingly captivating - a robust, unadulterated tobacco flavour with a noble, smoky charm of peat and black tea, resin and oriental spices takes centre stage. Creamy-sweet Virginia leaves of different cut widths not only provide the necessary flavour counterbalance, they also guarantee an exemplary burn and a soft smoke consistency. Some Black Cavendish provides a nutty, melting component.

What you need to know

It seems a little paradoxical that this anniversary blend, which has been around since 1998, has become a perennial favourite in the Vauen portfolio. But it simply speaks in favour of the great quality of this complex, medium-bodied tobacco!

Flavours

Sweet and creamy Virginia tobaccos form the flavour framework, while fire-dried Kentucky tobacco with its gripping peat and smoky aromas provides the necessary depth with its full-bodied flavour. Black Cavendish brings a pleasant nuttiness into play. However, it is the exquisite Perique from Louisiana, whose unmistakable flavour profile with resin and slight acidity shines through in a delightful way, that brings the special pep into play. The subtle fruity topping discreetly emphasises the natural notes of the tobacco. Various cuts such as curls and flake pieces optimise the burn.

What you need to know

For those who do not appreciate artificial flavour additives but want to enjoy the unadulterated taste of high-quality tobaccos, this ready-to-smoke flake is the ultimate from Vauen. A high-yielding top product with a good medium strength!

Flavours

Rich and profound is the flavour experience of this "English" product, which is as uncomplicated as it is sophisticated. Dark, sun-ripened Virginia contributes a delicate sweetness with a hint of vanilla; Burley exudes a moderate, balanced spiciness, while Kentucky Dark Fired brings a rustic flavour of earth, liquorice and smoked meat in the best sense of the word. However, the secret star of the blend - as is the case everywhere it is used - is the noble Perique, which fully utilises both fine acidity and its unmistakable, satisfying umami character. A real gem!

Worth knowing

Surprisingly, the morning blend is a little stronger than the midnight blend. However, like every "Auenland" tobacco, this pick-me-up with vanilla, mirabelle plum and cappuccino flavours is a harmoniously balanced hit.

Flavours

As with all "Tageszeiten" blends from Vauen, the basic blend of plenty of Black Cavendish, light Virginia and a rounding pinch of Burley also impresses with an extremely pleasant interplay of honey-sweet, delicately spicy and mouth-filling nutty-melting facets. At a medium strength, the tobacco, which burns wonderfully evenly thanks to the different cut widths, gains a tremendous profile thanks to the sophisticated topping: a delicate vanilla scent, fully ripe fruit flavours of mirabelle plum and creamy cappuccino are simply a fantastic combination!

Things to know

In the Himalayas, air can quickly become scarce. It is therefore quite fitting that a light, ethereal tobacco bears the world's highest mountain range in its name. The main reason, however, is the unique flavouring with goji berries, complemented by citrus and cherry.

Flavours

The dominance of the Black Cavendish tobacco is immediately noticeable here, whose soft character between subtle spiciness and raisin-like fermentation sweetness is emphasised by the proportion of equally sweet Golden Virginia. The star of the blend, however, is the goji berry topping, whose subtly tart, bitter-sweet flavour adds an incomparable, highly refined nuance. The fruity-tart facets are enriched by a well-measured hint of citrus; on the sweet side of the fruity palette, fully ripe cherries provide excitement. A fascinating tobacco!

Worth knowing

Strawberries with whipped cream, accompanied by a glass of champagne - it immediately brings to mind the horse races at Ascot, where the British aristocracy gather every year. And this Virginia-heavy classic tobacco tastes just as noble!

Flavour

The delicate honey sweetness and soft, vanilla-like impression of the three different Virginias - which also means that they are fermented for different lengths of time - form a wonderful basis for the refined, anything but everyday flavoring with strawberry and champagne. Fruity sweetness and subtle, animating acidity with a refreshing character, a distinctly creamy smoke consistency and a hint of grassy summer feeling are perfectly balanced by the firmer, roasted notes of the roasted Black Cavendish. The nutty flair of the Burley provides a harmonious backdrop.

Worth knowing

In summer - especially with the temperatures of the last few decades - a light, refreshing blend is welcome to every pipe smoker. Watermelon is an unbeatable topping for the usual great quality of Vauen tobaccos.

Flavour

The star of the blend here is not Virginia, which in its golden version "only" plays second fiddle - which is, of course, indispensable. Its fine natural sweetness blends with that of the main component, namely the brown and black Cavendish, whose extensive fermentation adds further sweet and mature facets to the aroma. The melon aroma delights with fragrant, gentle notes, a good dose of tropical fruit sweetness and an invigorating ethereal component. Even the particularly cool burn fits the smoking experience like a glove!

Worth knowing

Pressed into handy flakes, which are best rubbed loosely before filling the pipe, this unflavored flake encapsulates the whole world of flavor of the Virginia variety. Flake fans will love its flavor density and yield!

Flavour

In flake form, Virginia simply has more body and aroma density than a loose cut or ready rubbed. This jewel, for example, focuses on an unheard-of nuttiness that is otherwise unknown from this variety. Hazelnut and almond are the associations, along with a strikingly clear vanilla note - without any corresponding casing! Full-bodied, moderately roasted, with almost no acidity, the tobacco offers more and more tart facets as the smoke progresses, but also more and more caramel sweetness - fascinating and full of variety, multi-layered even without topping!
