All of the Mastro de Paja blends were produced by K&K up through the mid 2000's and typically of that German blending house, the Virginia acquired makes for a good smoke. There is some sort of natural flavoring added to the leaf in Milano that was not sweet (similar to milder Lakeland additives), that enhanced the presentation. This is a blend made for those who do not particularly enjoy naturally sweet Virginia, but prefer a more straight forward taste. My tin was quite aged, so there was a smoothness and depth to the leaf that I really enjoyed.

Just finished a full tin of this. One thing right off the bat is that the back label says "Premium Virginia and Perique." I cannot find anyone saying this actually has Perique...so there you go.
This is a nice, mild smoke. The topping is very light...I can't quite say exactly what it reminds me of but it is subtle. Enough to make it stand out on its own a bit. Virginias are quite mild but solid. No changes throughout the bowl.It does take a few lights to get going, has a very smooth..almost unremarkable retrohale. Pretty light in body. Burns to a white ash.
I went through this tin in about 2 weeks or so. Enjoyable smoke but not sure I would seek it out again. If you come across a tin it is worth a try just for that subtle topping.
