Bentley Pipe Tobacco The Virginia Ruby – 50g

Bentley Pipe Tobacco The Virginia Ruby – 50g is a wonderfully accessible aromatic blend for anyone who likes their tobacco sweet, creamy and, at the same time, true to its tobacco roots. The blend (formerly known to many as ‘Honey’) combines light Virginias with velvety Black Cavendish and is then enhanced with Tuscan wild honey and fragrant Bourbon vanilla. The result is a mild, very pleasant pipe tobacco that is ideal as an ‘everyday treat’: easy to pack, burns gently and has a room note that is often described as particularly pleasant – making it ideal even when you’re not smoking alone.

Honey & Vanilla – creamy, mild and wonderfully harmonious

When smoked, The Virginia Ruby reveals its well-rounded character: Virginia brings a natural, light sweetness and a touch of freshness, whilst the Black Cavendish softens the smoke and perfectly carries the flavouring. The honey and vanilla do not come across as overpowering, but rather like a warm ‘vanilla cream’ with a hint of honey – sweet, fragrant and very pleasant. Beginners in particular will enjoy this blend because it remains mild and doesn’t overwhelm with strong spiciness. Experienced pipe smokers appreciate it as a reliable, comforting tobacco for in between times or as a gentle ‘dessert blend’ in the evening. In practice, it helps to fluff up the tobacco briefly (and, if necessary, let it breathe for a few minutes) so that it burns even more smoothly and evenly.
