Upon opening I was reminded of Clan Aromatic in volume, density, dryness and a little in aroma. The first light also took me down this route, but I was quickly and pleasantly surprised by a mild whiskey aroma which stayed around to tease to the bottom of the bowl. The tobacco flavour began to develop about half way, I'd guess Virginia, burley and a hint of perique, because things got delicately and pleasantly spicy toward the end, but no trouble on the tongue.

My nearest tobacconist stocks this and says its a good seller, I can see why, it's a good 'un.
