Maybe you have a fighting chance to taste some of the tobacco if it's dry, but the only reason to buy it is for the taste of French cognac which dominates the tobaccos. The Virginias provide a little grass and earth, and touch of dark fruit and citrus. The unsweetened black cavendish offers a little brow sugar. Has a mild nic-hit. Burns a little slow and needs to be sipped so you don't risk tongue bite or harshness as it will warm the inside of your mouth. The flavor is consistent, though fairly one dimensional. Leaves a little moisture in the bowl, and needs a few relights. Not quite an all day smoke.

After a couple of pulls of the briar, my wife bitched about this blend from the foyer next to my closed-door study. She hates it!
Failed the wife test.
The gurgling moisture made itself audibly known by the first 10% of the bowl contents. Not a good sign!
At this point, my tongue burned.
The taste of the tobacco is passable but not remarkable.
I've let this age about six months and still enjoyment of this bowl is eluding me.
Images evoked while smoking include a bleached femur atop a swarming anthill.

1882 must be the temperature of one's tongue when smoking this blend. Although the tobaccos are top shelf, the cognac ruins the blend and adds the bite of a rabid dog. Thanks but no thanks on this one.

This is a beautiful looking tobacco. Neat discs, cubes, and ribbon cuts make it look like a complex, promising blend. But unfortunately it's soaked in flavorings that all but obscure any tobacco flavor and cause it to smoke incredibly hot.
After searing my tongue on the superheated casing vapors for a few bowls I gave up on it.
I wish Stokkebye had an uncased version.

While I think Stokkebye tobaccos are high quality, many are just to sweet or flavored for me. This is one of them.
The tobacco itself is very unique with a mix of ribbon cut and unique disks of rolled tobacco. Good moisture content.
The problem is that the Cognac casing is too flavorful. The tobacco is hidden behind the Cognac flavoring. Sort of makes it one-dimensional
I think this will be a love it or hate it blend. If you like the pronounced flavor, then great. If not, there is not much else in the tobacco to make you stick around.
