Very light cider, even plain apple tin note, not much else. As with Wessex Sovereign, the smoke is ridiculously mild, spineless. Almost want to say tasteless. There is a flavor I find pleasant in the retrohale, maybe something bready, something beyond the ghost of cider which seems to be the only other flavor. I ask myself why I'm smoking this; I'm not going to kid myself, smoking isn't without some risk, and this just isn't worth the risk. If this is all I had to smoke, I wouldn't smoke.

This is one of the hottest tobaccos I have ever smoked!!! No matter how dry it is, what I cut it with, or what size pipe I smoke it in it burns like napalm. The flavor when you can taste it through the scorching heat is pleasant overall. It tends toward the tangy and bitter. I would not recommend this tobacco
