Nearly all of our reviews of loose tobaccos have thus far concerned Gawith and Hoggarth brands and there is good reason for this- they tend to be quite good (with a few notable exceptions), and are available from our tobacconist in bulk.
However, we are aware that many people do not have access to these tobaccos, so we have reviewed a pipe tobacco that is very common; 'Three Nuns.' Their motto is 'none nicer'... well, I have tried much nicer, but to be fair, this was not an unenjoyable tobacco, but neither was it a particularly enjoyable tobacco. We mutually decided that it was like the 'Drowning Mona' of pipe tobaccos... in that, like the film 'Drowning Mona' there is nothing wrong with it, and at the end, you feel moderate apathy; 'well, that's two hours of my life gone... but not that there is a desire to have those two hours back, just... eh.'
Flavours... yeah... well, it's not too dry, not too sweet, slightly spicy (from the perique tobacco in the blend). The only real downside is that it gets quite hot, which is certainly due to the fine cut of the shag. Give it a try, or not... I don't really mind... But it'll cost you about £4.50 for 25 grams, slightly more than the price at which we get our G&H bulks.
