I have about 5 pounds of this tobacco. It is a very mild smoke. Packs in light and has very little effort to keep going. I strongly feel that an experienced smoker will enjoy this for an all day smoke. If you smoke it fast it will leave a major tounge bite. If you are a fast puffer stay away. Always use a Peterson with this.

This is a pretty decent aromatic - does not smoke too wet and does not cause tongue bite so long as you smoke it with respect (ie not too fast). A good choice for an aromatic smoker who wants something pleasant but not too sweet.

This tobacco BITES! - in both senses of the word. The light & dark mixture is quite pretty to look at. The tin aroma, while a confusing melange of vanilla, cherry, and many other smells that defy recognition, is typically pleasant (though clearly synthetic). Since it is all downhill from this point, though, may I suggest placing this in a potpourri? This tobacco is almost completely devoid of flavor. It burns terribly, even for a careful Virginia smoker like myself. The hot-burning sugar content is magnified by the unconscious urge to smoke like a vacuum cleaner to get even a scintilla of flavor, but the flavor isn't there. Only a bare hint of the casing even comes through, but again, the heat and bite so overwhelm the blend that you hardly even notice. Even its boring cousin, Carolina Black, looks good next to this one.
