Käpt'n Barsdorf's Bester is one of the most popular pipe tobaccos in Germany. The tobacco made by von Eicken clearly benefits from the Lübeck-based company's more than 250 years of experience in mixing pipe tobacco.

OK, but not great.

I may have received an "aged" tin, but I found it a bit "lacking". Blending with some SJP Perique made a huge difference. This isn't to complain about a nice smoke, I may have gotten a rogue can. I've also tried Dark Fired, Yellow and Virginia version, and overall, I'm VERY satisfied
