This is OTC tobacco, Irish style. Do you like a good stout at the end of a hard work day? an Ale? a Porter? Boy, have I got the tobacco for you. You know that lovely Malty goodness you get in the aforementioned beer? That's exactly what you get from this tobacco, its called "Maltan" for a reason..... To be fair, the first few times I smoked this, my nose burned off me, it's not the most easily accessible tobacco especially using the breathe method, a small pipe and soft cadence are needed to get the most of this tobacco and, like a good room temperature Ale it just grows on you and pretty soon you have a stout... Stout by name, stout by nature. A fine tobacco

Package note of licorice, vegetation and spices. Tobacco is a ready rub of brown and dark brown. Moisture content is great. Burns fast with few relights. The strength is medium to strong and nic is medium. Flavoring is mild to medium, with notes of licorice. Flavoring is easily noticed in the beginning, then drops to a background player after the first 1/3. Taste is medium to full and very consistent, with notes of licorice, wood, spicy, bread, leather, spices, floral, sour fermented vinegary, tangy citrus, rich earth, savory, mildly grassy, orange peel/ zest, stewed dark tart fruit, a semi-sweet hay background note, and a peppery retro. Virginias are leading with Flavoring supporting. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great.

I tried several times to like this tobacco. Maybe it was the tin. Unfortunately, I found this tobacco to be unsmokeable. I'm hoping that the pouch version ages better than this tin.
