I had an open tin that I wasn't fond of, initially. I tried it several times, and then kind left it sitting there. I could've jarred it, but I didn't. I picked it back up the other day, and it was far drier, as you'd expect, from sitting in an open square tin for a year. Well, holy smokes. This stuff is just great. Beautiful blend. Sweet, toasty, full bodied, and not a hint of bite - like it had when it was fresh. It has the fragrance of a LIGHT topping, though TR says there's none - almost slightly strawberry and lemon, but I don't get that as a flavor when smoking it. Just pure tobacco goodness. This is a short review. I just had to say: I like it. A lot.

Awesome!  I find most tobacco benefits from some air-time after the initial opening. With McClelland, I'd pop the lid open a few times a week for several months before it would hit the sweet spot. There's a few tins of Brunello hiding in the closet right now ... I'll have to get one going! |

I've found a little aging or a little open tin time has dramatically changed several blends I didn't like at first. Goes to show you shouldn't make final decisions on first time impressions.

It is always good to revisit a blend later that may may not care for today. From an individual’s taste, the leaf changing, it has happened to me often.
Brunello is a great smoke, IMO.

Dad burn it, I found one more Flake in the jar I thought was empty! Now smoking it in a Savinelli 920ks Punto Oro. Iced tea on the side. But it goes great with milk.

I just checked to see if i can get it here in the UK, but our savinelli range is limited to 4 blends.

Yeah, no internet orders here and Pfeifen Hüber doesn't hold it so I am in the same boat with Paddy. Still interesting to read about your experience |

Bruno cannot get Brunello...that in itself, is criminal!
