Purchased this on a whim. Like the tin, not that it matters much... Upon opening the tin, I noted a heady sweet smell mixed with what a candy making factory might smell like. I kept getting a hint of cola. Black silky tobacco inside. It seemed heavy and oily/moist, so I left it open overnight. Not much difference in the morning...

I gave it a shot on my way to work, about 30 minute commute. I thought it lit easier than expected, caught notes of prune, toasted sugar, cola, maybe a hint of cinnamon, and a cookie bakery, silky in nature. Flavor was mild and hard to identify. caught some sweet burning tobacco flavor as it went on, but not much sweet taste. Had to light it a few times. Have yet to finish the bowl.

I would say that it is interesting and smoke-able, but one of the first thoughts that came to mind went to using this as an addition to a baccy I didn't think was too great, to even it / mellow it out.

This tobacco came to me by mail and was a free sample I sent for months earlier. When I opened the can I was struck by the smell of prunes or maybe figs. It was pleasant enough but I wasn't sold on its smoke-ability yet. The cut was short, the color black, and the consistency of the tobacco was silky. It felt and looked too moist to smoke trouble free, so I left the can open for about four hours before I gave it a try. Once loaded and lit the tobacco smoked cool and continued to have a fruity room note. I had to re-light often but I found it tolerable enough to smoke to the bottom. I'll smoke this again, but it will not go into normal rotation.
