Honestly, not bad. Nice vanilla scent, not too much tobacco flavor or nicotine though. This tobacco did not bite and all, and after a couple years the pouch still hasn't dried out...PG anyone? If you're in a pinch or want some cheap tobacco for the car and/or mixing, it's not bad. I keep some in the car along with a Dr. Grabow I picked up just for that reason. My only complaint is that is has a bit of a weird smell and feeling to it. Reminds me a lot of those nasty little Black and Mild cigars...

Take me back to around 1990-1991, when I lived in a $210 a month Studio Apartment in a Not So Nice Neighborhood, worked in the Hotel Business parking cars, and was still under 21 ( barely )....this blend was one of my favorites. Now, as I sit here smoking Gawith Hoggarth and Companies Rum Flake, I realise how much my tastes have changed. I can honestly say, that if my current favorites were not available, and someone offered me this, I would not turn it down. I have some very fond memories around smoking this tobacco, and I am a sentimental fool, go figure. Smoke this if you are on a budget, or if you are disgusted with the current price of Captain Blck White Label, because this is a decent substitute for the Good Captain, in my humble opinion. Recommended!

When you take into consideration the price and the amount you get, this is a pretty decent blend.
I have to place it in a baking pan and leave it to dry for a day or so, but afterwards it lights well, burns well and rarely bites.
It is cloyingly sweet at times, and my wife says it reminds her of vanilla ice cream with caramel. I don't smoke it in my high grades however, as it does leave a bit of gunk in the bowl. Another advantage it that it is readily available pretty much anywhere in the US. If you are looking for an inexpensive everyday tobacco then this is one you should try.
