My tobacconist suggested I try W.Ö.Larsen´s Fresh&Elegant, an aromatic that smelled like a market stand full of hay with lemons in it. I bought the minimum amount my dealer will sell (25g - not even an ounce) and got it in a ziplock bag that I tucked down in my pocket.
I just walked some 500 meters to get a nice place to sit and smoke it. I had held my hand in my pocket during the walk and when I pulled it out to start picking up my pipe from my bag, I noticed the smell of lime from it. When I sniffed my fingers I could feel the tobacco's flavouring(I guess) on them - it had gone through the closed ziplock bag in a matter of minutes.
Highly sceptical I stuffed my Chacom Prince with the baccy and all the time it smelled like I was squeezing lime ... It was intriguing to put the flame to the pipe and taste it. It lit very well and only needed one tamping. The taste was high,clear and zingy like lime zest, mixed with the lightest Virginia, everything felt a greenish yellow, so to speak.
I kept puffing and a gentle sweet-and-sour taste started to evolve a bit like cheesecake with lime curd only with a pie crust of brown caramelized sugar around it! It was - lovely!
I'll keep this one in my summer rotation and soon I'll try and layer it with a few coins of MacBaren's Dark Twist to spice things up.
