Milan Tobacconists House Blend Reviews

[cpmcdill]

I totally understand not being of the aromatic persuasion, but your comment made me realize something needed to be clarified. Milan had nothing to do with this exercise, or I'm sure they would have offered up a different variety. I have always smoked their aromatics, and I purchased these bags from them without any mention of what they would be used for. I'm sorry if there had been an implication that they were somehow in on this as a promotional thing.

Tobias, it appears I'm the one who owes an apology. I probably inferred that with very little basis in what you actually wrote. And with my own words I make myself seem ungrateful for this opportunity, which is really not the case. A big oops on my part, and sorry for the mix-up.

I certainly didn't take your comment as such. I just don't want you to think that the shop was somehow bias towards giving away samples of their aros and not other blends. I have only smoked a handful of their other house offerings, so I stuck with what I new. I really enjoyed your reviews, for the record

Little did I know that I was saving the best two for last. I've been smoking these two for the last 3 days having 8 bowls in 5 different pipes to see how they were in different hardware. Both descriptions pretty much hit the nail on the head so there's not much I can add to it. I will say that all 5 of these tobaccos from Milan are the cleanest burning aros I've smoked, and with a little drying time burn exceptionally well.....

Last but not least, I want to thank @Tobias Lutz for taking his time and money to do this neat project. I would love to be involved in the next one if there's room. You've gone above and beyond.
Kindest Regards,
David

Colonial Pastime (Aromatic) Pipe Tobacco
Burleys, Virginias, Black Cavendish and a touch of Latakia come together in perfect harmony to create this very unique mild- to medium-bodied blend. Subtleties of wild berries, rum, and hickory with a sweet spice on the finish remind us of days gone by when our forefathers cultivated and cured fine pipe tobaccos. The smoking qualities of Colonial Pastime are similar to that of an English pipe tobacco, but with the room note of an aromatic.

This one is the crown jewel of the bunch! My wife said the room note was great, and that she could smell what was pretty much in the description. Just a perfect blend of a hybrid aromatic/English blend. The touch of Latakia was nice. I smoked 6 bowls of this in 5 different pipes and all burned great. They have a winner with this one!....

Poochie's Blend (Aromatic) Pipe Tobacco
A mixture of Virginia and Green River tobaccos blended with an extremely high quality Black Cavendish. This blend is smooth and mild with exceptional flavors of toasted marshmallow, maple syrup, and vanilla. Blended by and named after Poochie Preston who has been manning the tobacco bar at Milan Tobacconists for over 35 years, Poochie's Blend has been a very popular aromatic among our customers since its introduction in 2009.

This one is also very nice with the pouch and room note hitting the description well. It's a little sweet, but without going overboard. I smoked 2 bowls in 2 pipes and both burned down well....

In closing, I would like to say that if you're an aromatic smoker, you should try out these blends as I think you will be pleased with the choices!.......
