Chacom No.6 Pipe Tobacco 50g – Single Tin

Among pipe smokers, the French are mostly renowned for their excellent pipes. With typical French modesty, St Claude even describes itself as ”the world capital city of the briar-wood pipe”.

Pipe tobaccos, on the other hand, have not been their forte – until now. The recent appearance of a new Chacom range, tins decorated with the unmistakable picture of a pipe-smoking cockerel, is definitely a game-changer.

While all six Chacom tobaccos currently available in Britain have much to recommend them, it is No.6 that is a particularly spectacular success.

This delicious, smooth and fragrant mixture is comprised of Black Cavendish, Virginias of various shades and some Burley, and sparingly flavoured with Rum and Espresso, with a hint of caramel. The result is breath-taking: it smokes coolly and evenly, the tastes of all the tobaccos coming in perfect clarity through the complex flavouring. Moreover, the room note is so enticing that even non-smokers might be tempted!
