Description
Sealed 50g tin of Butera's Royal Vintage Matured Ribbon from 2002, a blend that's no longer in production. 22 years of age. Purchased in 2004.
This blend combines three distinctly different matured Virginias - bright, zesty lemon, sun-dappled red, and sweet, slow-stoved black - pressed together into cakes and cut into ribbon form. The result is a full-flavored, savory, and balanced blend with soft, rich aromas and tastes, accompanied by spicy tart overtures.
This tobacco offers a high-quality, exceptional smoking experience with a complexity that sets it apart from other Virginia blends.
The tin aroma is subtle, with hints of tobacco fruitiness, and the well-aged stock provides a velvet-smooth base with occasional tangy notes.
There's a constant background of deep, sweet aged Virginia that provides a solid foundation for the other flavors to shine.
Despite its complexity, there's no hint of any topping. It's a cool smoke that doesn't bite, offering a wonderful taste that leaves you craving for more.
Easy to pack and cool smoking throughout, Mature Ribbon is a rare and elegant pleasure for any pipe smoker.
