When this blend came on the market i did try it a couple of times and loved it just for being a non-usual blend. It *is* more or less your typical over the counter blend. So if you do not expect too much it is not a disappointment and you should be able to enjoy it.
The pouch has a very modern, pop-art design nobody can decipher but it caught my eye with ease. The "Kiowa Cut" is just a fancy term for broad cut with big chunks in it. Consequently i would not recommend a small bowl for it.
I can't really describe the pouch note or the room note. But both are pleasant and interesting.
It lights easy and burns well down to the end. I did not had any problems with tongue bite but i could imagine you could get some if you smoke it too hot. I'm not too sure in that case about what would happen to the flavouring either.
What i liked most about it was its interesting flavour and the fact that i wouldn't know how to describe it or what it was composed of. I couldn't make out a lot tobacco taste but it did not strike me as smoking paper either. The aroma developed over time and more or less would last till the end of the bowl.
It took me some while until i figured that that hard to describe flavour really was or could be pine.
But it wouldn't keep up with my taste after some pouches, it left me to a point where i started to dislike it. Since then i did not give it a try again and this also is the reason for a 2 star rather than a 3 star rating.
They also at some point sold Calume Piccolos, which are cigarillos. I don't know if they are still around but if you like how the pipe tobacco tasted you might give those a try as well.

Calume.02/03/07. This blend did not float my boat,not that it was bad or offensive.I think my taste is far more mature and maybe to mature for this offering.(Bland to me) For a new comer to pipe smoking it may very well be "Perfect" As its a very no fuss tobacco to light and keep lit.It leaves a very clean grey ash at bowls end,with next to no goop.

I bought this just to discover what was Kiowa Cut. I still do not know. It was possible to smoke the entire pouch, but it is not a blend that I pine for. For smokers of aromatic mixtures Calume is certainly worth trying.
