Robert McConnell’s Scottish Cake is a distinguished pipe tobacco blend that has garnered appreciation among both novice and seasoned pipe smokers. This ready-rubbed flake is composed of high-quality Virginias, Dark-Fired Kentucky, and a touch of Perique, resulting in a harmonious and complex flavor profile. The Virginias provide a smooth base with subtle sweetness and citrus undertones, while the Kentucky adds depth with its bold, earthy, and slightly nutty characteristics.
The inclusion of Perique introduces a delicate spiciness and rich notes of stewed dark fruits, enhancing the overall complexity of the blend. The tobacco’s dark brown appearance is a testament to its careful aging process, where the mixture is pressed for several weeks to allow the flavors to meld and mature. This process not only enriches the taste but also ensures a slow and even burn, offering a cool and satisfying smoking experience. Notably, Scottish Cake contains no added flavorings, allowing the natural tobacco flavors to shine through.
The room note is pleasant and traditional, making it an excellent choice for those who appreciate a classic tobacco aroma. Packaged in 50g tins, Robert McConnell’s Scottish Cake continues to be a popular choice for pipe tobacco enthusiasts seeking a balanced and flavorful smoke.
