The tobacco convinces with a very pleasant room note and surprises the smoker with a variety of flavors reminiscent of gingerbread and speculoos. The result is an exciting creation that is sure to inspire smokers who like to experiment.

Even if the description may almost read differently, the Whitstable is fundamentally an excellent bright and sweet Virginia Flake. This base alone would be enough for a good smoke recently. But with the Whitstable, a few more peaks and corners were tickled out by a restrained flavor addition. I can't taste the exact aroma, but even out of the tin, there's a slightly rosy, cane-sugar sweetness in addition to the bready and hay-sweet notes of the Virginia. When smoking, these notes transfer, the Virginia shows only a slight spiciness and becomes very full-bodied. The "mysterious" aroma decreases in the course of smoking, however, and also gives the citrus notes of the Virginia room. 
For me, an absolute new discovery that deserves more attention.
