A very dark coloured tobacco from Bentley. Looks like there's more cavendish in it than virginia.
If I didn't know better then I'd think this was an American blend, but this is far too dry. It crumbles rather than feeds into the bowl, and it's very difficult to know whats been burnt and what's worth saving at the end. Ironically it doesn't burn that well either ; several relights needed.
The tin aroma is very pleasant, but very mild and this is the same with the taste. It smells pretty much as you'd expect leaning more towards an Italian style blend rather than a Danish one. I can't say I get the sweetness that the previous reviewer mentions. No, I detect just a slight almost light cherry flavour, but that's about all. But then my taste buds are shot anyway.
Mid-price in Germany (hard to find in the UK) this is just an average aromatic worth trying as it's a quality mix, but nothing out of the ordinary.
