Sam, in all honesty it needs a few years of aging to appreciate. If you have the extra money purchase a can or two. In 5 plus years you’ll Rattray’s blends changed drastically. Guess I’m also use too the original 👍👍

I think it's a good smoke. Here's my review:
The Virginias are mildly citrusy, moderately dark fruit tangy with a hint of grass, and a little earth. It has an extremely mild fermented sweetness as well. The Kentucky adds a touch of strength and a very mild nutty woodiness, though it mostly lurks in the background. The perique is also a minor player, but it has a little pepper, raisin and fig flavor that adds a nice dimension to the blend, and does just a little more for it than the Kentucky does. The strength and taste barely reach the medium level. The nicotine hit is mild, and it won't bite even when pushed. Has no dull or harsh spots. Mildly complex and lightly moist out of the tin, it burns at a reasonable rate, cool and clean with a very consistent flavor from start to finish. Burns to ash with no trouble, and leaves very little dampness in the bowl. Has a very pleasant after taste. Can be an all day smoke for the experienced piper, and repeatable for the novice.

Jim, may I ask the year of this blend you smoked, thanks much👍👍. I’ve noticed drastic changes over the many years but not as bad as from 2010 on, is it I’m also too picky from smoking many Rattray’s from the 70’s? Being spoiled I guess!! |
