This is bad stuff. Picture a normal, light VA flake. Orlik, Capstan etc. Now remove half the flavor and replace it with a sort of acrid house paint smell.
That’s your best case scenario. Since it comes in an unsealed pouch, from P&C (which isn’t very good at handling or rotating stock) there’s a good chance you get dry crumbles.

I'd rather smoke poison Ivy.
Acrid burning dumpster tobacco, I wouldn't even use it as incense. Burns like the sun, smells and tastes awful. Smoking this blend is comparable to trying to eat wet boot leather that is covered in manure.

Summary: not quite a breakfast cereal Va/Per, but soft Virginia flakes with mild Perique and a coconut topping along the lines of Peter Stokkebye "Luxury Navy Flake."
Upon opening the packet, one finds a stack of soft, sweet-smelling flakes. The coconut topping wafts upward. First light brings out the Virginia sweetness which has been made mild with a coconut topping, eliminating much of the natural variation. The Perique manifests as a slightly piquant fruity flavor melding quickly into the Virginias. As the bowl burns down, a syrup-like flavor appears from the melting Virginias, topping, and denatured Perique. It has a bit of bite, little nicotine, and while an easy smoke, remains an uninteresting one. There is nothing wrong with this blend but nothing to particularly recommend it either, but if you want a sweet but not cloying all-day smoke, this semi-aromatic will do.
