Rattray's 7 Reserve 50g Tin.
The 7 Reserve is a ribbon cut blend of Black Cavendish, Latakia, Oriental and Virginia. It’s very similar to Rattray’s Red Rapparee but was created with the all-day smoker in mind.
Rattray’s 7 Reserve is often categorised as an English tobacco, although some may argue it leans towards being a Scottish blend due to the inclusion of Black Cavendish. Regardless of classification, it's undoubtedly a high-quality tobacco suitable for all-day smoking, thanks to its mild characteristics.
The ribbon cut of this pipe tobacco makes packing easy, ensuring a smoke that requires minimal effort to keep lit. The gentle nature of the smoke makes it an excellent choice for beginners exploring English or Scottish blends, as well as for seasoned enthusiasts seeking a regular smoke.
The smokiness of the Latakia is well-balanced by the mild, woody, slightly spicy Oriental tobacco, while the Virginia provides a grassy undertone and the sweetened Cavendish adds a touch of sweetness. As the smoke progresses, the flavours deepen, culminating in a rich and satisfying finish.
Furthermore, 7 Reserve leaves your pipe easy to clean, making it a convenient and enjoyable choice for pipe smokers of all levels.
