Upon packing and lighting it, I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the orange flavor came through. It was not too strong, but very flavorful with a fantastic room note. As my bowl progressed to the half way point, I started to notice a bitter taste accompanied by tongue bite. By the time I started down the "home stretch" my appreciation for this tobacco had vanished.

Every time I have returned to this blend, it has been tolerable only if I smoke half a bowl, and dump the rest out. I really hate that, as I do like the (initially) orange flavor of this tobacco.
