A tantalizing blend. An all black of "steam sweated" fire cured tobaccos hauntingly flavored with fig, prune and rum notes.

Gave this one a shot solely on the prior recommendations. Usually Altadis blends scare the heck out of me but it's certainly cheap enough and what the hell. You know this stuff ain't half bad. Very light aroma in the pouch maybe some of the rum but not much else. No sicky sweet , goopy mess here. Lightly sweet with none of the individual flavors that you can really discern. Maybe some of the rum and a little of the prune kind of but thats it.They sort of meld together into a pleasant taste and nice aroma. Not much real tobacco taste here maybe a little of the burley.This mixture will heat up your pipe a bit but never your tongue. Smokes dry and actually leaves a pleasant taste in your mouth afterwards. I was looking for a decent change of pace over my usual straight Virginias and that is exactly what I got. Much better than your normal Altadis messes.

Dark in color, mild in taste. You know how a lot of the Altadis blends, particularly the aromatics are really wet and sticky - well this isn't. It burns dry and consistent throughout the bowl. It has a nice flavor, not overpowering, or overly sweet - just right. If you have been burned (both literally and figuratively) by aromatics in the past (especially Altadis blends) I recommend you give this one a try. You will be pleasantly surprised!

This was a pleasant surprise. I picked up some during a sale and was not 100% expecting a winner.
When I saw the black flakes I was worried this was going to be the normal "goopy" aromatics that I dislike. However the moisture content was good straight from the bag. The bagnote was rummy to me. Easy to pack and light.
The smoke comes across to me as rum + fruit. It's consistent through the bowl. The toppings do not allow a lot of tobacco taste so it tends to be a little monotone to me but consistent.
No bite. Will burn hot if over pushed but easy to keep undercontrol even with my normal "fast" smoking. Nicotine seems really mild and I was able to smoke multiple bowls in a row without issues.
