Chacom Pipe Tobacco No. 2 50g Tin

Chacom Pipe Tobacco No. 2 50g Tin is a light, fruity-vanilla-flavoured blend that particularly impresses with its delicate balance: distinctly aromatic, yet not ‘perfumed’, mild in character, yet with enough tobacco character to ensure it still tastes of tobacco. The blend is based on various Virginias and Broken Virginias, which are known for their natural sweetness. A small proportion of fragrant Burley adds a touch of body, whilst delicate Black Cavendish makes the smoke smooth and creamy. Over this lies a delicious yet subtle top-dressing of yellow plum and sweet vanilla – exactly the sort of flavouring that leaves you wanting another puff without being overpowering.

Fruit & vanilla on a Virginia base: sweet, smooth, pleasantly rounded

When smoked, Chacom No. 2 usually starts off pleasantly and mildly: the Virginia sweetness comes across as light and ‘golden’, quickly joined by the fruity note of yellow plums – more juicy and soft than artificially sweet like a sweet. The vanilla rounds the whole thing off with a creamy finish, creating a warm, cosy impression. Burley provides a subtle, slightly nutty structure in the background, preventing the blend from becoming too ‘flat’. Black Cavendish also makes the smoke noticeably velvety and helps maintain a steady burn. Many descriptions suggest that, due to its high Virginia content, this tobacco is best smoked slowly – this keeps the smoke cool, allows the flavours to come through more clearly and lets the blend reveal its harmonious side. The room scent is a real plus: fruity-sweet, pleasant and generally very suitable for social occasions. In short: an uncomplicated, elegant aromat for relaxed moments – ideal for beginners, but also as a ‘feel-good tobacco’ for experienced pipe smokers.
