| This tobacco did not impress me very much. I like other rum blends I have tried like altadis jamestowne tradition rum but could pass on this one.
I found it to burn hot and have too much bite. It is not the worst I have smoked though and I could smoke it once and a while. I gave the rest of the bag to a friend and he seems to like it a lot so maybe it is just me. I just found it to be kind of bitter.
If you don't like a lot of sweetness in your tobacco and want a decent rum taste and aroma this may work for you.

| While I'm not big on aromatics, I love mild to medium rum aromatics. Roayal Guard Rum is one of the best, most flavorful rum blends I have tried, with a prefect balance. Too often the strength of the tobacco overpowerd and drowns out the rum flavoring, but not with this blend. This is one of very few aromatics I enjoy as much for the aroma as for the taste and flavor, which comes form rum, of course.

| My whole reason for buying this PS RGRum was to blend it with part of a cigar leaf "brick" I acquired last year. It is a very subtle aromatic (read: I can't detect any rum, just a mild sweetness that might be). But the cut is good and it burns evenly and cleanly, without scorch or bite. A tremendous value, to boot. I will report back later if my "Cuban" experiment has helped brighten the Rum, and (hopefully) tone down the cigar leaf.
UPDATE: What a great combination! It is a strong, tangy smoke without being anything like an Old English. I put 1 part cigar leaf to 3 parts Rum and let it molder for a month. It is greater than the sum of its parts. I'm not sure if this stuff is made anymore, but it makes a great blender to knock the edge off a sharp leaf.

| For an aromatic, it seems less synthetic- I would recommend it to any new pipe smoker who likes aromatics. The price is attractive also.

| A very good smoke for a light Aromatic. Fairly coarse strands so the tobacco smokes a long time. Good burning characteristics, moisture content, aroma, and taste. Amazing value. I payed about $8.00 U.S. for 12 ounces of this. Will also make a good blender due to the somewhat subdued flavor or scent added.
