Mrs Carey has not been stingey with the spicy rum. I reckon you could wring it out and get a gert big gob of grog.
The baccy needs a bit of airing. The first twenty minutes is like somewhere between G Hogarths Rum Flake and Four Squires. The remainder caramelises as the spiciness dissipates.
Sadly this is somehow an insipid experience. I hesitate to buy this one again. Besides which, I want to try the Dark Twist, I think it's called. Probably more that's more to my liking.
I'm sure Rum Flake is a four star smoke for a lot of people. But I'm knocking one off for being soporific.
