Tin Aroma: To be honest, this blend has very little tin aroma. I had to put it very close to my nose to smell anything, and when I did, it was not to my liking. The impression I get of this aroma is one of cat urine. Not a pleasant smell to have associated with one's tobacco, to be sure.
Physical Characteristics: a mostly light colored short ribbon cut. Comes from Cornell & Diehl, so it is dry as a bone; perfect for me, but many will want to rehydrate it before smoking. Packs fairly easily and due in part to the dryness of it, takes the lighting well. It burns rather quickly, but evenly, leaving behind a grey, grainy ash.
Notes: The flavor of this blend is, thankfully, nothing like it's tin aroma. However, it is a bit understated for my tastes. The Virginias seem to be the bulk of the blend, perhaps with a bit of Perique or Oriental thrown in here and there. I really have trouble discerning the Latakia that is supposed to be present. I found it fairly easy to burn my tongue with this blend. The flavor seems to improve when accompanied by a glass of Southern iced tea
Verdict: Aside from the tin aroma, this blend is pretty solid, though it does not grab me in any way. For me, this is a real take it or leave it blend.

Got this blend from a buddy who hated it. I'll agree with his tastes. This is harsh, bitter, and awful. Will never buy it.
