Tinnote: far too sweet IMO but the tobacco looks very nice and is not sticky to the touch, good!
First light: the sweetness of the tinnote is also very present in the taste and smell, not good. This appears to me as a not natural tobacco sweetness but a casing.
After second light I judge that the quality of the tobacco is high but the persisting sweetness distracts me.This seems to me to be more of an aromatic then a classic english blend. I don't like aromatics, I will not buy this again.
This test was performed after the tin had been openend for 3 months because initially I disliked it so much that I put this in my "not-box'. Since a few weeks I have been giving all the 'notboxers' a second chance, and while the sweetness has largely gone, too much of it remains for me to like it.
In short: Recommended for aromatic lovers.
