If you have smoked blends in the Lake District genre, you'll be familiar with Premier (yes, I know it is Danish by description, but it is scented to my palate- TEHO).
Dark in the tin, with an even mixture of brown, mahogony and black. It is almost a broken flake or medium-long rough cut. Moisture is fine for an espoused aromatic. Tin aroma requires little to catch, as it fills a room upon opening the twist-style, flat tins lined with ruffled paper that makes loading less messy than the de jour pop-tops.
Toppings of Hazelnuts and fruit essences are pleasant enough, but really do not survive lighting. As was said previously, this is tough to light and to keep the smolder going.
Taste is light at the beginning and never gets beyond medium. No real nicotine hit, sorry if that disappoints you. It is in the puffing that the Lake District, scented flake presence arrives and stays, fairly subduing the genuinely decent leaf.
Not bad and somewhat recommended, just not what I was looking for by the tin description.
Think of this as a "ribbon" of Best Brown Flake No. 2 by Gawith & Hogarth topped ever so insufficiently with Hazelnut.

Not a fantastic blend for me. It hits you like a mac truck when you open the tin. The casing is very strong. The tobacco is mottled with lights and darks.
It packs well but took quite some time to get it lit. The room note was nice so my wife says. I couldn't taste the casing very much while smoking. It was there but in the background. The tobacco was ok and I will finish the tin but I don't think I will get another.
