The tobacco is similar to others from the same blender: very fresh and humid,it needs some drying. A strong coffee flavor is topped and the tobacco exudes an aroma that resembles an antique country store. It don't bite, even if smoking fast, but needs some religth. The room notes are plenty of coffee but my wife found it very pleasant and even non smokers agreed it has a nice aroma. The Virginias used are very well matured and you can feel the tobacco taste despite the strong flavoring what, for me, is sufficient to keep it in my cellar.
