With an order, I got this free. What does PipesAndCigars have against me?
The smoke is thin, the flavor is thin. After only 3 bowls it was tossed in the bin.
The Black Cav has no depth and the Burley is weak. The Virginias refuse to come out for a peek.
Are there aro flavors? Please, do tell. It's a sweet mish-mash straight out of hell.
The flavor profile is lacking in "bass". It's mostly high notes thrown in your face.
If you pass this tin to one of your friends, that will be the day that your friendship ends.
Mild in everything. Be prepared to re-light. Be gone, foul blend. Be gone from my sight.
[DISCLAIMER: Just having fun here. I may have exaggerated the hideousness of this blend, but only slightly.]

Well....where can i start. It smells different, not like most aromatics, but i like it?? Kinda sweet with a tangy background.
Trying to keep this lit is almost impossible. I honestly gave up after awhile and just stopped smoking. Flavor wise. NOTHING!!! Nothing but scorching, hot, tasteless air.
I have 2 tins and i cant justify throwing away, so ill just keep them till i die or something!

There is probably a reason pipesandcigars.com added this to my order as a thank you gift (two 3.5oz tins in fact), because nobody in their right mind would smoke this nonsense. So, I logged into tobaccooreviews.com and made a new entry just to share my displeasure (though someone else beat me to a review).
Right off the bat when you open the tin you think, "yup, this stuff smells cheap." Think cardboard that has gotten damp and full of mildew from some spilled cheap wine. There are also some notes of cherry and armpit singing in this one.
I grabbed a corncob and felt bad for the pipe which would soon suffer from the damp wad of putrid shreds I stuffed into it. It was fairly mild and tasted like a cheap gas station cigar; a wine flavored Black & Mild without the fun of gnawing on the rubber nib. To make matters worse, this garbage would not stay lit.
One tin I pawned off on a "friend" and the other was banished to the garage with all the other emergency tins, never to see the light of day.
I'm no expert by any means, but even I know this stuff is bad!
