A rich latakia blend pressed into thick and fragrant slices. This tobacco is strong in flavor and intensity. A main dish instead of an appetizer or dessert, the smoke will leave you satisfied. A fantastic tin to have on hand for any English lover, the smoke is thick and rewards your full attention.

Superb
The best so far, I have been looking for Bengal Slices for a number of years.

Delicious
This is an excellent tobacco. Excellent flavor and room note. No complaints.

Fantastic tobacco
I want sure I even wanted to try this one but I'm very glad I did. The licorice top note is very subtle, almost undetected by my mouth but more obvious in my nose. It's got a sweetness but it's a good barbecue sauce sweet, not at all a dessert sweet. I never had the pleasure of trying the original but this is a great tobacco.

Bengal Slices
This is truly a fantastic blend. Full and satisfying smoke. Latakia is predominant with a hint of licorice. Burns well with no tongue bite. I would suggest to fill a rather large bowl, without packing tight. Light up, seat back, smoke slowly and enjoy. A must try.

Bengal Slices
Smooth, creamy and full of flavor. The nicotine level is just right for an all-day smoke. Burns well and leaves one very satisfied.

My deepest apologies
My deepest apologies for the premature, mediocre review. Please disregard and forgive me. Halfway through the tin and this is tied for my number one spot of all time with plum pudding. They are very similar but, different at the same time. Bengal slices is so silky smooth and creamy, undeniably satisfying, and unbelievably flavorful! I can't put into words how much I love this stuff. It will be in my rotation for the rest of my life and if I could only smoke one tin for the rest of my life, I would die a happy man if it were Bengal slices. Well done Russ and again, I am sorry for writing a review so soon. THIS... IS... AMAZING!!! Cheers!

It's ok.
So, I did only finish my first bowl but, I'm confused about what the fuss is all about. Most of the time with pipe tobacco the hype is legit. This is undeniably quality tobacco and the crumble cake is beautiful but, it's boring. I don't get much from this. None of the strength, depth, or flavor that everybody is talking about. I hope the rest of the tin proves me wrong.
