Bought in Italy in 2012, at average price for a common tobacco pouch. Thin cut, little moist. As described has a nutty (brazilian nuts, by me) and a sort of coffee scent.
Aroma: very neutral and quite natural (but surely not like i.e. italian natural kentucky tobaccoes, like Forte or Comune)
Taste: totally neutral, stays between the medium strenght side and the mild one; it wants to be natural, it seems natural, but I'm not so sure it is... very low biting
Room note: mild, apparently not aromatic
Burning: quite fast, with creamy and dense smoke
Best briars: dedicated briar is not necessary
Not bad, maybe genuine, but quite tasteless and a bit boring. Well, I'll puff this blend in peace till it ends, but I think I'll not go to buy another pouch in the future.
Update: the pouch is ended, and I feel the need to update the review... I've appreciated a bit more Genuine, it's more smooth and pleasant than it appears at the beginning, in its cool, light and natural taste. Two stars and half.
