| Bought purely out of a sense of adventure; I partially regret having done that.
Long story short: mixed ribbons and ready-rubbed, almost uniform medium brown. Pouch aroma is of oranges and something else--cocoa? Not sure. Stuffs, lights well, leaves some dottle even if smoked carefully, but not too much.
The room note is, in a word, non-distinct, but probably on the worse side of tolerable for most; to me, it is a little stuffy, if you know what I mean. Taste is sweet for the most part, with some orange actually being in there. For me, there is a sort of citrus-caramel aftertaste that lasts for a while.
Not something I am going to buy again, but not bad enough to throw away the pouch either. The blend, overall, comes over a bit like Clan with a citrus sauce instead of the topping.
