I am a newbie. This was the first pipe tobacco I smoked. I was previously a cigarette smoker, stopped! I notice that the reviews are from 2009. I think they may have changed the blending/topping. I bought 2oz and it has all been good. Not wet. Lights fairly well. A full bowl smokes well from top to bottom. UPDATE: smoking some in my Rattray pipe... needs a lot of relighting
Pipe Used:
basket pipe, Rattray

I bought this when i had a 5 hour layover at JFK, I asked the guy whom i bought a pipe from, what's you most popular tobacco and he gave me a 2 oz pack of Maravilla. It smelled sweet and pleasant.
I couldn't wait to get to my destination to light up a bowlfull of my new great smelling tobacco.
It tasted really good for the first 2/3 of the bowl, then I toss out the soggy wet tobacco. Not sure why this blend does this...sorta weird.
But to me I enjoy smoking Maravilla and will contine to have this in my Pipe tobacco rotation.
