The cut is a wide(ish) ribbon with some fish flake. It is a mix of blacks and browns. The pouch note is rum and a little sweet. It came at what seemed a little moist for my preferences. I smoked it as delivered.
Smoked, this is mild and a little of the rum comes through. It is slightly sweet and suffers from the "thin" and "musty" I get with black cavendish blends sometimes. It burned without incident - maybe a little fast. I may also have been puffing to get some flavor out of it.
The rum is a pleasant enough flavor, but after a few bowls I have been mixing this with various things to try to add some tobacco flavor. So far Smoker's Pride Rich Taste, D&C Dark Burley and Mammoth Cave in various combinations have worked reasonably well. There is still a nice rum flavor for me with SP Rum Cured as half or a third of the mix.
This one gets a qualified recommendation from me. For my palate, it is better than not smoking but not by much. It has a decent flavor and the musty from the black cavendish needs a little something else to provide some body. It is readily available and can be used to add a little aromatic flavor to a mix.

If you like to blend your own mixes this is quite useful. I take a bag of this stuff and add Latakia and suddenly it becomes very smokeable. I liked my own blend so well that I bought a couple more bags of this. Not nearly as moist as most other Smokers Pride blends I don't taste any run in this stuff. Perhaps the blender was drunk on rum when he named it. Very cheap and comes in a 12 ounce bag. If you are into blending then grab a bag.

I bought a bag of this out of curiosity, and when I had opened it I was initially disapointed. The way it was cut seemed very "ragged" and uneven, and I got an overwhelming aromoa of (to me) vanilla. After I had smoked a few bowls I was rather surprised. It did not bite, smoked well although I really could not taste any rum flavouring. What I could taste was a mild burley and a hint of a "rum like" taste. There was a slight bitter after taste, but I suspect this may fade in time as it ages.
Overall it isn't that bad, there are no bells or whistles and nothing to get exicted about, but it is a decent (very) mild burley blend. Although I won't rush out to get another bag, I won't bypass it the next time I see it.

I bought this on impulse in a liquor store and having enjoyed another Smokers' Pride product early in my return to piping. I didn't get much flavor from this pouch but it was quite a bit drier than I prefer. Have to put this on the "o.k. for beginners list". Not a bad tobacco, just not much to recommend it.

March 11, 2005: There doesnt seem to be too much difference between this and Lane's Rum & Maple, other than that this blend seems to burn hotter. It also appears to have quite a bit more casing than Rum & Maple. Leaves a pretty good after taste, but there isnt much taste while its burning and it smells nice burning as well. 6/10

When I opened the bag of this blend I was immediately overpowered with the aroma of hot-buttered rum. I couldn?t believe how rich the smell was. The smoking however was a different story. The tobacco was rather mild and I could hardly detect any rum flavor. It has a mild sweetness and I could taste some rum on exhaling but for the most part it tasted and smelled like a normal, Burley blend. It was a pleasant surprise because I thought because this appeared to be so heavily cased that I wouldn?t be able to stand the taste for more than a bowl at a time. I don?t know if I will buy this again but I didn?t dislike it either.
