Tin note of stewed sour fruit and campfire. Tobacco Flakes are dark brown and black. Tobacco is somewhat dry, rubs out easy and no drying needed. Burns slow with a few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild-medium. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium to full and consistent, with notes of oak campfire, earth, bread, herbal spices, floral, mild sweet fruit, mild lemon grass, and a moderate peppery retro. Latakia is leading with Izmir Turkish supporting and stoved Red Virginia in the background. Room note is tolerable to strong, and aftertaste is excellent.

I do not not like this at all. too much latakia and not much else for my taste. I got it in bulk. Maybe i'll mix it up and try it again.
