Kopp Stormy West Limited Edition Pfeifentabak (Rhabarber & Vanille) - 10g Probe

That rhubarb note cuts right through the richness of the Virginias and Cavendish, making for a surprisingly bright and refreshing smoke. The blend burns evenly with no bitterness, even for a medium-bodied tobacco. A unique twist that will definitely have me reaching for another sample.

That tangy rhubarb hits right up front, then the vanilla smoothes it all out on the exhale; the Oriental leaf keeps it interesting without being overpowering. Burns cool and even right out of the pouch, a solid little sample to test the waters.

Wasn't sure how the rhubarb would work in a pipe tobacco, but the zingy fruit note pairs beautifully with the vanilla and doesn't overpower the Virginia base. The Black Cavendish keeps it from getting harsh, and the sample size is perfect for deciding if you want a full tin.
