Pipe Tobacco - Summer Breeze 2023

This year, the "Rattray's Summer Edition 2023" jewelry box features a thistle. This is Scotland's national plant and is generally used as a metaphor for Scottish pride and steadfastness. It tends to be overlooked; it looks abrupt and prickly. However, if you look closely, you'll discover a magnificent flower. In any case, the Scots' taste for flowers is arguably questionable. The opposite is true of their taste in pipe tobacco. Few countries can boast a longer pipe-smoking tradition. Over the years, Rattray's has created many phenomenal blends. And that's why no other plant could better represent this year's Summer Edition than the thistle. \n \n \n \nThe blend is wonderfully balanced. Different Virginia tobaccos blend happily with a good dose of Black Cavendish and a pinch of Burley. \n \n The whole thing is rounded off by the delicious aroma of mango and passion fruit. A hint of maple adds a caramelized sweetness and a touch of woody aromas. \n \n Taste: The aroma offers a pure summer experience. The interplay between the different Virginia tobaccos, dark Black Cavendish, and nutty Burley is simply wonderful. The combination of the exotic and sweet accords of mango and passion fruit is overflowing with freshness and fruit. The maple aroma gives the final boost to the whole. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
