Funny, I agree with the previous review, but tend to like this tobacco for the same reasons the previous reviewer dislikes it.
I wouldn't describe this as a ribbon cut, in the can it seems to be almost dry pebble sized grains. These can be broken up, or, for a more complex smoke, simply scooped up into the pipe.
The casing does indeed taste of maple, but it is not overwhelming. The tobacco is not goopy, burns smoothly to a thin white ash, and is easy on the tongue.
I agree that there is perique in there, but didn't find it overwhelming...some puffs tend to taste heavily of maple, and other puffs are spicier.
I've found that this tobacco smokes best from a nice big Missouri Meerschaum. The taste just seems to meld better than in a briar.
I enjoy this as a morning smoke with coffee.
