R and M Pipe Tobacco (former Rum & Maple)

One thing first: Rum & Maple (since May 2016 only R & M due to the tobacco directive TPD2 from Brussels) is a classic in the tobacco world and is now produced by Mac Baren! When you open the tin, you get the pleasant smell of rum and light sweetness.

When you open the tin, you can see a very nutty and rum-like alcoholic flavour, but without it being artificial. The tobacco is not too moist and can be brought well into the pipe. The first lighting of the tobacco is unproblematic and easy. After the first puffs a very mild tobacco aroma appears. This tobacco aroma is complemented by the flavour composition. It is interesting that neither the rum nor the maple syrup are dominant. They balance each other out perfectly and leave a pleasant room note.

Conclusion and tobacco picture

A good tobacco for beginners in the world of light flavours. When smoked slowly, the tobacco keeps the aroma until the end. The tobacco picture consists of bright Virginias and the tobacco comes as a crescent cut. A great all-day smoke. In contrast to the last Planta version, the quality of the tobacco and the aroma has increased very significantly. So you should definitely give this "oldschool classic" a chance again.
