At less than $20 a POUND in 2021 I figured this one was worth a try. It was less than 2 months blended (Feb 2021) when I first smoked it, so it's very Green. Comes in a large Ziplock bag which isn't heat-sealed.
The bag note is grassy and a little floral. Moisture content was great. It's a ribbon cut on the shaggy side similar to some RYO mixes. My bag was well mixed and I didn't see any twigs or larger pieces.
It's an easy mixture to pack and lights well. The smoke has a grassy high note from the VA's with some sweetness. The Oriental (maybe Izmir?) adds a good level of floral/spice and the combination reminds me slightly (in a good way) of a camel unfiltered.
It's not overly complex and I found the smoke repeatable in different shaped bowls. It does want to burn warm if pushed, but if sipped plays nicely. I found it a little "ashy" in some smokes towards the end of the bow, but not enough to stop smoking.
At the price-point (no more than a tin of some tobaccos) it provides a smoke which is solid by itself and also lends itself quite nicely as a base for blending.
Adding some latakia will move it towards the light english range while some perique hits a VaPer. Some additional Izmir or other oriental can boost that side of the smoke if you find it lacking.
