50g round tin.
Says made in Belfast Northern Ireland by Murrays on the lid, and then says made in Denmark by Scandinavian tobacco group on the base, so I guess that means its definitely made on Earth.
Popping the lid; tin aroma is of light citrus honey and orange juice cordial.
Contents appearance of strawberry blond ribbon cut.
This is to oranges what Gold Block is to lemons, and Blue Ridge is to limes.
This is the closest thing I have ever smoked to Gold Block, it smokes in the same way and even looks the same type of leaf and cut. A sweet and sour sweetened Virginia like fat cut roll your own tobacco.
Other nearly but not quite contemporaries might be Dunhill Royal Yacht in smoke taste due to the orangey factor;in Yachtsman its from the topping and in Dunhill Royal Yacht its more from the darker leaf I think.
To smoke its like a Pimms and Lemonade cocktail aromatically ,and a citrusy sweet and sour grassy Virginia with a minor hayish burley maybe. Its got more of a Virginian bias than gold block . I would get faint burnt honey a hazel nuts from time to time.
Yachtsman though very similar is easier to smoke than Gold Block - it doesn't bite on the job and so it doesn't need a side drink as a tongue barrier. Gets a bit more concentrate and cordial near the bottom of the bowl in an almost candy shoelaces type of taste at the end. The taste carries through to the end with no dead spots ,its consistent down the bowl.
A single bowl session doesn't bite - an all day session might leave you bitten maybe - but having a side drink on hand might prevent the possibility.
Smoked reasonably cool for its cut and type. You will either like it or hate it I recon. As an aromatic its my type of aromatic when I am in the mood for that type of tobacco. Its not an extraordinary or complex tobacco by any means and probably qualifies as an average experience that wont blow your mind.
As a boiling hot summer day smoke for on the balcony that doesn't clash with the type of drinks you might likely be drinking in such a heat; its a pleasant smoke that wont annoy anybody.
Its a 3 Stars ok from me.

Ok. Not my kind of tobacco at all but oddly I quite enjoyed it. Smoke it slowly, maybe whilst doing something else and it's not bad. The flavour is OK, it isn't strong, but then not everyone likes a punchy smoke. Sounds critical but by not bad I mean not bad.

i am not a great fan of aromatics but i do like to keep a couple in fo a change i have just opened a tin & i really have enjoyed it a nice change from full flavours i think this will be my morning smoke as i am gradualy easing off ciggerates and finding a pipe more satisfying i think i have found the alternative to a ciggy for the early smoke & dog walk

This is a wonderfully cool tobacco that though mild in all respects can still be surprisingly satisfying. As I find with most aromatics there is a slight medicinal smell in the tin. It packs well and lights with ease and maintains a good burn throughout.
The smoke is well balanced with a light sweetness that is in keeping. Very smooth and a good choose for earlier in the day.
This tobacco also works well if a little cigar leaf is added for later in the day smokes.
