Gold Block | Pipe Tobacco | 40g Packet Gold Block is a sweetened Virginia and Burley tobacco, ribbon cut and easy going in all respects. The scent of the tobacco in the pouch issweet, almost like caramel with citrus and hay from the Virginia and some earthiness from the burley. Preparation for smoking is easy, a pipe can be loaded in seconds. Lighting is also easy, so too is keeping the blend lit. The smoke is sweet, with Virginia flavours in the fore, hay, lemon and a little spice. The burley is sweet, with a mild woodiness, nuttiness and earth. This blend may burn quickly if puffed too fast, so a moderate smoking pace should be used, the reward for this is a fuller, richer flavour. Gold Block is a blend that goes back many years, first introduced by Ogden's of Liverpool, now produced by Mac Baren in Denmark. The Summary...
