MF was the first English I tried about 10 years ago and I fell in love right away. Maybe the mystery casing is always meant to be a mystery, just like the Maltese Falcon itself!

Hello Lester, I had to stop half way in video in search of my Maltese Falcon. Found it , had it in a nude cob with some hot chocolate. Thanks it made my day! Stay well.

Ok, you've got my interest! 🤠

Great review Lester. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week👍🏻

My mouth is watering!

Hi Lester, Have the blend, but have not tried it yet. Sad about Prince Philip, but he did make it to 99. I have been watching the crown, looks like he gave up his career for the Queen. Have a great weekend.

Hola Lester, now I have some of the answers of my questions which I've done in my last comment. I saw your second part first instead of your first part of the Miniseries 😅. I think this will be a real good tobacco for me and I'm sure that I will love it like the film of the same name😄. A very good description 👌🏻. Well done Lester. Best wishes from the 🌞🏝. Michael

"Beautifully Sophisticated" is the perfect description Lester!

A spot on review Lester. I really enjoy this blend. I agree, this blend is "beautifully sophisticated". All the Best mate.

Fantastic, and I love that pipe! There are no truer words than what you said towards the end of the review, “You find out things about yourself that you didn’t expect...” 😎👍🏼

I believe the spice is nutmeg.

Fantastic review, Lester! Thanks for the mention! As you know, This is the top rated blend for me. As soon as I tried it two years ago, I was hooked. Northwoods hits a close second but MF is pure joy in a pipe. Enjoyed this! Be well, my friend.

We are all saddened by the passing of Prince Philip. He and the Queen have always been such a solid cornerstone in an otherwise tumultuous world! Thank you ,Lester, for soldiering through with a welcome respite and enjoyable presentation. I am looking forward to an encounter with the "Seductive Redhead" named Ginger!!

I love flavored English blends, and this is one of them. Another is Bothy Flake, but that's very difficult to obtain in the US. Tonight, I'm smoking Black Frigate for the first time in a fairly new meerschaum, and it is heavenly. Nice rum flavor, and the tobaccos are delicious. I think you would like it as well. Take care.

Excellent review my Dear Lester! This is quite possibly one of my favorites due to the fact that I am from the Southern U.S., and a huge fan of Bar-B-Que, and camp fires😁. I believe our friend, Curmudgeon Piper loves this blend so much because of its level of complexity and sophistication. It fits Douglas’s personality perfectly😆! Take care, Me Ol’ Mate! Cliff

Love Maltese Falcon. Great review as always. Sorry for the loss of Prince Phillip. He was a great world ambassador.

Your excellent review has made this tobacco a possible candidate for my next international order. There are a few others as well, that I'd like to try as well, but you really did a great job reviewing this. Thank you.

Excellent review... this is one I have never tried but it certainly sounds enticing. You are quite right about tempo... the slower the better... I smoke my mixtures in about 90 minutes ... and my flakes in 120 minutes or even longer ... sipping your favourite tobacco ... allows for a taste you want to keep going as long as possible. Enjoying the series. Keep them coming amico mio. Grazie 🙏 ciao 👋 S.

Great review. I’m don’t smoke a lot of English blends but I have a tin of this in my cellar just because everyone raves about it. Looking forward to trying it eventually.

one of my favorite blends! i also enjoy hu tuarekh and peter heinrichs 39 and find them to be simliar but without the mystery spice

Never tried that one, my friend. 🤷🏼‍♂️ but a meerschaum is always a great pipe for these kind of blends. 😉👍🏻

RR I do believe Maltese Falcon is turning you into a poet! A fantastic review. I enjoy the blend very much. I also enjoy its cousin Spark Plug which is a bit more intense. Maybe too much for an aromatic smoker. I'm curious if as a boy you ever participated in the Duke of Edinburgh awards scheme? It sounds like a great program. I'm looking forward to your next English blend review. Cheers

Excellent choice, enjoy piping Sir! Nice outside. Looks likes the blends are mainly from the US.

great review 👍 i have to give this tobacco a try and order a tin.

Can't imagine an Englishman worrying about trying an English blend, lol. Maybe you've been in Switzerland too long. Really though, very nice review. We love it too.

I have reduced my cellar preferences to MaltFalc, Star o the east original, magnum opus, and 2 or 3 random aromats. I have a tin of Innsmouth that satisfies tha vaper but seldom.

This one has been on my radar for awhile but still have yet to try it. I'm having a hard time breaking away from Rattray's Black Mallory, my favorite English. Enjoy your pipes my friend.

Try star of the east as a similar blend. It has an uncanny baked oatmeal ginger bread note to it.

Isn't Maltese Falcon made by G L Pease?
