Prohibition Pure & Simple

Prohibition Pure & Simple is an aromatic blend from the pipe-tobacco line of Rocky Patel, known primarily as a cigar maker. The mixture is built from black Cavendish, Burley, and Virginia leaf, over which vanilla and caramel essences are applied. Cavendish supplies sweetness and moisture, Burley the carrying body, and Virginia a light fruity sweetness in the background.

Nicotine ranges from low to medium, the smoke is mellow, and the flavoring is pronounced. The ribbon cut packs easily, though the tin runs moist and may need airing before smoking. It suits newcomers to aromatics and smokers looking for a sweet, fragrant smoke; it will disappoint those looking for an unflavored blend. The product comes in large packaging such as a 12-ounce glass jar.
