I would just add few lines to the very accurate review by the esteemed JimInks.
A tight rope in the best Lakeland style, unscented, of natural Virginia's(including stoved and some fired), most probably of African origin. It has quite a bit of strenght, and the taste recalls something like a toned down (several notches, I mean) version of Brown # 4 by SG. I'm also used to cut this in thin coins by a cigar cutter (don't go crazy with that). Burns quite evenly and cool. No way to be bitten.
I like it, but it's not my first choice in terms of flavour & aroma, when talking of straight Virginia's. But goes near to FVF.

JimInks has already described the flavor profile of Oxenfisl Twist so accurately that I don't need to waste any time in just saying the same thing all over again.
As to my personal enjoyment of the blend, well, it was somewhat uneven. I smoked the twist up quite happily but would not buy it again. Some smokes were really tasty and some smokes were only so-so. I am not sure whether this was due to my limited experience with preparing this kind of tobacco or whether it really was something inherent in the tobacco itself. To cut a long story short, it's certainly one of those quality tobaccos that you have to try for yourselves in order to find out whether it's a winner in your book.
