Rattray’s 7 Reserve Pipe Tobacco 50g

Rattray’s 7 Reserve is a mixture based on various Virginia tobaccos and Latakia, along with black cavendish and a bit of Oriental.
Rattray’s 7 Reserve is described as an English tobacco and certainly fills the criteria for one, though some would argue it’s a Scottish blend because of the inclusion of Black Cavendish. Whatever you classify it as, it’s a high grade tobacco that can be smoked throughout the day due to its quite mild qualities. The ribbon cut of this pipe tobacco enables an easy pack and a smoke that doesn’t require too much thought or fight to keep it alight. The smoke is gentle which makes it a great starting point if you want to get into English/Scottish blends, or for those who’d smoke it regularly. The smokiness of the Latakia is balanced by the mild mannered, woody, slightly spicy Oriental, with mildly sweet Virginia playing a grassy second fiddle and sweetened Cavendish helping.

About Rattray’s Tobacco

In 1911 the skilled tobacco blender Charles Rattray’s made his dream come true and took over a tobacco shop in the old Scottish capital Perth.

Only after a short while the store became the top address for tobacco enthusiasts. In his small tobacco factory he blended exquisite specialities for the Gentlemen until he died in 1964.

His son Charles Rattray’s Junior took over the business, in 1980 he retired and 4 years later his daughters inherited the name rights and the original recipes.

Today these tobaccos are produced by Kohlhase & Kopp, the range is expanded by a very classical pipe series, like Mr. Rattray’s private label pipes that he used to offer his customers in the old days.
