Tinderbox mashpee5/20/2023 On first light I got greeted by a intense maple flavour, accompanied by the "Rum"-flavouring, which provides citrusy-sour, slighty spicy and fresh notes. The pouch comes in perfect condition to smoke right away. Easy to pack, easy to light, not a problem to keep lit. The ribbons look beautiful with colours ranging from golden-orange (Virginias), to brown (Burleys) and black (Cavendish). They managed to find the sweet spot here. It doesn't smell like real rum to me, yet the smell from the pouch is inviting and even tho it's artificial, I find it to be not too aritficial. R&M somehow is the exception under the Planta blends! Upon opening the very well and classy designed pouch (which is a pleasure for itself to me!) you get greeted by a rather chemical, yet bearable and intriguing scent of maple, that's accompanied by a citruys-fresh and slightly sour-tangy scent of what's supposed to be the "Rum". But Plante is very infamous here, known for making the most chemical and nasty tobaccos.so it took a while before I stuggeld through buying this blend. At first i thought I wouldn't like rum toppings, but after I like Salty Dogs Plug, as well as Navy Flakes with rum that concern was gone. In the past I hestitated for a long time before buying this. I bought this, because it was cheap and my father started out pipe smoking and I thought we can share the pouch. Rum and Maple was a real surprise to me the first time I smoked it. He told me that I had not been the first to complain and the pouch was not tainted, no, they had changed the tobacco. I brought the pouch back to my tobacconist of the time, and complained that I had gotten a tainted pouch. I learned this from the next pouch I bought: I threw it away after a few pipefuls refused to be anything but goopy, horribly bitey, burning unevenly and otherwise misbehaving (with the sole exception of the room note, which was still delicious). Then they changed the recipe (sometime in the early 1990s). The room note was beautiful, the taste helped in getting me off the BCs, and the tobacco burned down easily, without much maintenance, right down to the bottom of the pipe. At the time, this was an affordable tobacco (just the right price bracket for a college student), and my first pouch rewarded me with a very nice, sweet, somewhat rum-ish scent.
