I sometimes wonder if I'm being punked when I get bulk tobaccos sent by mail, given how often I find myself second guessing what I'm actually smoking.
The bag aroma of this tobacco is predominantly of an additive; something of the caramelised sugar type. Maple, molasses, whiskey even. There are background spice notes from the Orientals and the familiar McC Va tang.
Once lit, the Orientals pop into life with a burning grass aroma. It is a one light baccy, unsurprising given the sugar content and relative dryness, but it stays on the right side of hot.
It's light and it's mild but the aroma borders on the sickening by itself. One would need to be a peculiar person to have this in ones pipe as a daily smoke.
Strictly a blending component imo.
