Erik Stokkebye - 4th Generation 1966.
The description says this is ribbon cut but it's not. It's a mixture, my tin contains a few rather large pieces of broken flake. The rum comes across with certainty in the tin's aroma. My blend's hydration is spot on.
The Latakia takes until about halfway in to gain applause, up until then it's an exceedingly light addition. The VaBurs and rum form the main flavour up to there. The rum comes over as being definitely rum, there's alcohol, and molasses, not just some nebulous sweetness, which can often be the case if it's not 'sloshed' into the blend. The burns reliable enough, but can become too warm should I puff my pipe with lots of vigour.
Nicotine: medium. Room-note: pleasant..
4th Generation 1966? I suppose it's not all bad, but I wouldn't add it to my rotation. Somewhat recommended:
Two stars.

Generally, I agree with the other reviews here.
However, my recommendation is to smoke this in a hookah or a bong.
Simply put -- it burns unacceptably hot. I spent a considerable amount of time trying to adjust my pack to enable a cooler and more reliable burn to no avail.
My solution: Smoke it from a hookah and its colors really come out.
