The woody, earthy, dry and buttery sweet and sour, mildly floral, herbal Turkish also sports a touch of spice and takes a small lead over the other tobaccos. The smoky, woody, earthy, lightly musty, sweet Cyprian Latakia provides ample support. The grassy, rather tart and tangy citrusy bright Virginia is just more than a condiment. The unsweetened black cavendish offers some sugar, but it's not very detectable. The strength and nic-hit are a little closer to mild than it is to medium. The taste is almost in the center of mild to medium. No chance of bite or harshness. Burns cool and clean at a slightly fast pace with mostly consistent sweet and savory flavor from start to finish as it easily burns to ash. Hardly leaves any dampness in the bowl, and requires an average number of relights. Has a very pleasant, short lived after taste, and slightly stronger room note. By design, it is an all day Turkish forward smoke with just enough depth to hold your interest.
