This comes in a very cheap looking orange plastic bag, no vacuum seal or such. The packaging just screams "Budget tobacco". Nothing wrong with that really, just telling whoever reads this what to expect.
The tobacco came quite dry, there was some small holes in the bag, I smoked it dry as well as with a bit of added moisture.
Smoked dry, it proved to be a hot fast burning nicotine delivery system. Almost no taste at all, except small flashes of that very special sweetness that comes with SA tobaccos. Enough nicotine to keep me happy, and I usually smoke rope and twist tobaccos.
With a splash of water the smoke cooled down some, reminding me of strong burley instead of a VA. still not much taste, but made a bit rounder smoke.
I really cannot recommend it for anything else but to get a quick nicotine fix, perhaps as a wake up slap in the early morning. If one has the chance of getting some SA tobaccos, there are those who are much better. Try some Fox, Jock, Assegai Export or Wesleys Dark Transvaal.
I have had my bowls of it untampered, it is now sitting with some perique and cigarr leaf blended into it, just to ad some taste.

As a very lucky recipient of gift of this from Mo, I am reviewing it at his request.
This is a naturally dryish presented tobacco, ribbon cut of at least 4 different constituents, quite rough and twiggy. Has a completely natural scent...there is nothing here but tobacco of African origin...I would guess mainly Zimbabwean.
I see that Pipestud rehydrated his a little when he tried it last year but as Mo tells me that its supposed to be smoked in its natural dryness, I have gone ahead, packed a Group 4 Apple from Dunhill and am smoking as I type.
My first impression is that the previous comparison to Gold Block is very apt indeed. It burns hot and dry on the mouth with no taste much at all. It delivers a satisfying amount of Vitamin N for sure, but it's not particularly strong...I've been happily blowing it through the nose with no effects at all. In strength its not a patch on G & H Rum Twist for example or Jock (also from Africa). These American cowboys fall off their horse at any excuse!
Nothing much changes through the bowl, the strength slowly grows a little, but it succeeds as a good quality basic smoke. If you want complexity this is not a tobacco that offers you much. I will review Jock just as soon as its posted up on this site, but it gets my vote over this. If you liked Gold Block as it used to be, then Boxer is your tobacco. You will enjoy it for sure. Don't try it if you are entering a smoking competition though...it don't last too long.
Lastly I would like to offer my appreciation o the kindness and all good round decent chap-ness of Mo in kindly supplying this very appreciative pipe smoker with a variety of African samples.

Dry. Strong. A good kick but not always a daily favourite.

If you're south African you can probably smell this tobacco just by looking at the picture.
It can be very harsh and dry out the packet and usually requires a bit of TLC in the humidity department.
It's cheap as chips (if you're in south africa) and you can find it pretty much everywhere.
That said you would probably be better off smoking jock or fox brand these days as they are a more pleasant smoke.
