Brigham Enterprises Inc. Muskoka Mixture
(3.71)
The blend consists of mild latakia grades from Cypress and U.S. grown Virginia. Although this combination appeals to the experienced pipe smoker, due consideration is given to other trends by adding just a touch of black Brazilian sun cured grades.

I'd like to start out by saying that I have limited experience with pipe tobaccos.
this tobacco has a pleasant taste and smell. the smell reminds me of raisins with hints of maybe plums and black cherries which comes through somewhat in the smoke.
my main problem with this tobacco is that it just wont dry out. there are so many additives and whatnot in this stuff that it doesn't burn well and always seems to leave a mess in the bowl; I've had it in the loose pouch it came in for a couple weeks now and its still about the same as it was when i bought it...
this sort of thing might be for you if you only want to puff lightly on a bowl a couple times a week, but for an every-day smoke it's a gunky mess.
UPDATE: having a little more experience with cheep tobaccos, I raised and modified my scores slightly. while I still feel it's too wet in the pouch when first bought, it is pleasant to smoke when dried out and doesn't have any overpowering unpleasant chemicaly tastes or smells.

This is the strangest tobacco I have ever smoked. I thought that it must be Brigham's Own and not Muskoka Mixture, based on the above description. It is an 80% black tobacco and the latakia is hardly noticable. The flavoring is that of vanilla and apricot; But that is only a guess. It arrives too moist to smoke, in an unsealed plastic sleeve. Once dried, it smokes well and tastes great. Very satisfying. The touch of Black Brazilian sun cured grades mentioned in the heading, must be virginia. And there is a heck of a lot more of it than a touch. Burns very hot. I added 3% perique to this. Can't taste it, but I'm afraid to add more. This can't be Muskoka Mixture as described above. Will someone who has smoked this please add a descriptive review. Please! The broken flake is not broken flake either. I want my money back! $24 for 50 grams. There's nothing English here.
Update: Forget the tin description noted above. That must have been the previous Muskoka Mixture. This is Altadis Apricot and Cream. Black Cavendish, Virginia and Burley, flavored with apricot and vanilla. Very little burley, if any. Lots of humectant, needs at least three days to dry out. A delicious aromatic, if you like apricots as I do. The vanilla is in the background. A real winner in taste, with a fabulous room note. Smokes much cooler after drying. Highly recommended for aromatic lovers.
