A weird one. Given that my batch tastes nothing like what the other review here describes, I can only surmise that the wrong kind of Black Cavendish was used for my batch (oops!), specifically Sutliff’s B21 which has nutmeg and cinnamon flavoring, because the prominent flavor of this blend reminds me of Dentyne gum. The secondary player here is a sweet malty flavor. There is also a slight ginger-like numb-tongue effect. I worry about this ghosting, so after my initial exploration that left a briar smelling of Dentyne I used only a cheap cob. Not for me, but (assuming current batches are still made like this) if you enjoy forays to the fringe this might be just the ticket!
