| Reviewing as RYO or MYO tobacco. Very moist, chunky pipe cut, difficult to inject. Mine required extensive drying, does not seem to effect the flavor. For RYO tobacco, has a very heavy topping. Research says cocoa. I get more of a fruit type smell and taste, I guess plum/prune like. Research often likens to Marlboro in taste, I think not at all. Long but not unpleasant fruity aftertaste. For me, more of a pleasant "change of pace" smoke, too fruity for mass consumption. Gets an extra star for balance/body/smoking comfort, I think it's best attribute. Three stars overall.
Edited 5/28/12: Sampled second bag. No way near as much "fruity" bag aroma or taste, just cocoa like this time. Crazy "night and day" difference. Same moisture/cut. Overall, I like this much better, decent flavor/good balance. Dilemma is product consistancy. First bag a weak 3 stars, this bag a strong 3 stars. Second time I have had consistancy/quality problems with D&R flavored blends, must downgrade to 2 stars for this.
