Dont e fooled by the pouch aroma.. This stuff is powerful and can knock you out... Made me dizzy and burned rather hot. Not a pleasant smoke. Loads of nicotine here.. Little enjoyment. Not for me.

This tobacco was a gift to me from a friend: with a name like Dark and Sweet she thought it sounded yummy. For that reason alone I wish I had better things to say about this blend. The package says it hails from "Ogden's of Liverpool; Manufacturers of the finest tobaccos since 1860." Considering they've been around for almost 150 years the lack of any information on this blend on the internet is suspicious.
The tobacco is ready-rubbed and it looks like your usual blend of dark and light tobacco but slimy to the touch. The pouch has a heavy aroma like dark fruitcake. Unfortunately, when lit it's like smoking a prune, and I can honestly say it's the most god-awful thing I've ever smoked. After only a little while of smoking this ghastly stuff my stomach was so queasy I've never been brave enough to give it another go. And it leaves quite a stench in your pipe.
