Well, I did like it. It was sweet and smoky. I experienced no tongue bite and it burned consistently and cleanly. Due to my limited experience, I am thinking of this as an aromatic latakia. I probably will stick primarily to Larry's Blend or Butera's #2, but this is nice to have to change things up.

Appearance is a dark brown rough ribbon. Tin smells lightly sweet and very slightly smoky. Tastes light, airy, nondescript.
I can only recommend this as a beginner's English, and not a good one at that. Intriguing in the tin, but dusty and dry flavours while smoking. Some sourness, and not a pleasant sourness. There is simply nothing here to justify another tin.
