    Delightful

    This blend is a must have. Being from Virginia, this blend from tin note to taste to room note takes me back to my southern Virginia roots where we grow and cure tobacco and the smells that you grow accustomed to smelling growing up. There is sweetness and richness and the rum note sneaks in every so often. This is a good bridge between English and aromatics. Easily an all day blend.

    Love the smell of this tobacco. Beyond that? Meh. Won't be buying any more.

    Navy Blend Plumcake

    Posted by Steven Pullar on 20th Mar 2022

    My method is rotating four tobaccos each with three pipes dedicated to a tobacco. I nearly always purchase 16oz bulk and I change out a tobacco as I run out. Plumcake is replacing C&D's Maple. I give my pipes a good Everclear cleaning at change over and I am dedicating my three Petersons (Harp Billard, St. Pats, and Dublin churchwarden) to the Plumcake. I have waited until I had smoked at least three bowls in each before reviewing. I find the Plumcake easy to pack, light, and quite flavorful. The flavor is complex, but from tin note, smoke to room note I cannot sense a hint of what could be called Plumcake?? I am enjoying it, as it burns slowly with no tongue bite I can detect. Something odd though, toward the end of the bowl I find a hard pellet about the size of a small marble forms. I have to crush it, mix with the dottle and relight, strange. Also I would not drink alcohol with this one, stings the mouth badly. Even ice water does a bit.

    Not my thing

    Posted by Adam on 29th Mar 2021

    It’s interesting, but not something I’ll get again. I get a weird cumin and burnt match backnote, and my wife walked outside to see what I was burning. I do get a nice sweetness on the tongue and some rum, but I can’t taste any plum.

    Plumbcake

    A nice navy blend. Needs a little dry time. I smoke this around the holidays. No bite and I am told the room note is nice.
