An unusual Burley/Rum combination that just might work for those who enjoy being in the Navy. I detected a whale of a lot of rum in this one and it overpowered the Burley. Thanks to the Kentucky leaf it does contain a hint of strength. The rum flavoring will immediately be detected and trust me, it is unrelenting all the way down the bowl.

Despite the evidence of the quality of this mixture, the problem was with the rum casing.

It was overwhelming in presence and prevented from tasting the tobacco.

I believe that if the casing would be transformed into a topping, this would prove to be a go-back-to tobacco.

Another long-time offering from Karl Erik's Private Blend, this one takes the form of a fairly standard Danish type of mixture, that is, different medium cuts including some small flakes. Nicely enough smelling of Rum when opening the tin, this rum is not overwhelming in the smoke itsself. It smells similar to Exclusiv's Whisky, with chocolatey undertones. Burns well enough and no goopyness experienced.Don't pack it too loosely or it could burn hot!

A sweet smoke for those who are into Danish/German tobacco blends
