Sillem's Blue
(2.79)
Golden, red and dark cross cut Virginia tobaccos present their vivid, charming and fanciful leaves. Brown cavendish and nutty burley add depth and a light sweet note. This blend is rounded off with a fine smell of fresh, juicy limes and full-bodied maple combined with caramel. A brilliant tobacco, delicious, rich and with every refinement.

Sillem's - Blue.
The nose from the un-lit blend is a great example of what type of smoke this is going to be: fruity and sweet. I see no problem with the moisture, but, this was from a sample pouch so sealed tins may vary. It looks like it contains a fair amount of each variety of tobacco that are more like a coarse cut mixture than a broken flake.
Onto the smoke: The topping pretty much steals all the limelight away from the tobacco nuances but it doesn't seem that gloopy, sticky, or sickly; its a full on aromatic but it's not too much. It burns even and gives of a fairly cool smoke. Unfortunately, it's not all good; it can bite like mad. I have to sip this gently otherwise it's horrendous! The nicotine seems light in this. I'd say it's 'very mild', that suits me but N guys would feel really let down.
Another low point for me is the room note; it's like sitting in a florists! And as if the smell wasn't bad enough it creates a serious plume in the room!
I can't recommend this for a few reasons, subjective and objective:
1; objective: the sheer amount of smoke it fills the room with.
2; subjective: It bites me like crazy.
Not recommended.

Sorry but I don't get this one. The flavor, what there is of it is kind of sour and musty. Opening tin I do get a bit of lime. On lighting there was some immediate taste of something I could not identify but it was totally sour. That sour taste came and went throughout the smoke. I guess this was supposed to be lime. Room note was just average. This was a very strange aromatic that left a very sour taste in my mouth after finishing off this blend. I know all folks are different but this is a blend I will not smoke again.
