HU Tobacco Aus dem Krater Nr. 4

The lemon and orange Virginias offers a range of flavors, including a touch of grass and light spice, some earth, a bit of tart and tangy citrus and tangy ripe dark fruit, along with a hint of tart lemon, wood and smokiness. The sweet toppings are caramel, honey, and a light vanilla. They don’t tone down the tobaccos that much, but you’ll notice them in every puff as the flavor is very consistent from start to finish. The nic-hit is just past the mild mark. The strength is in the center of mild to medium, and taste level is a step past that threshold. The square flakes are not thick and are mildly moist, but they break apart very easy. Mildly complex, it burns at a reasonable pace, cool, clean and fairly smooth with no dull or harsh spots. Won’t bite or get harsh. Requires few relights and leaves almost no moisture in the bowl as it easily burns to ash. Has a sweet, slightly spicy after taste and decent room note. An all day smoke with a fair amount of flavor. Three and a half stars out of four.
