The cut is various, from thin ribbons to big hard lumps.

Burns well to a fine ash. No trouble keeping it lit.

Advertized components are "black cavendish, burleys, perique, latakia and Orientals." The black cavendish predominates, and keeps everything else in the background. Do I detect a bit of vanilla? Every now and then a puff of burley comes through.

It will not be my all-day smoke, but it might suit someone else for that.

The tobacco comes at a great moisture level, and I can tell by dealing with the owner of the company he is a stand up guy that takes a lot of pride in his product. I would not hesitate to purchase from this blender again.

That being said this tobacco is pretty middle of the road all the way through the bowl. All the components are there, but nothing really shines. Its a high quality product, just not a taste I would be excited to experience again. As always your mileage may vary.

In the pouch you have almost a plum pudding aroma with a hint of latakia spiciness.

The blend itself is outstanding. I love rum in tobacco blends - and this is the finest Rum Blend I have ever smoked. Perfect balance and structure. The Plum pudding tastes comes through with a delightful spiciness. The Latakia is present - but not overwhelming. Overall there is a lovely complexity - that reveals itself with every puff.

For English Lovers - its all there. Aromatic lovers might want to give this a try. Highly Recommended.
