My wife loves coconut, so I always try coconut-flavored aromatics in the hope I'll find a decent one to mix with some 5100 for a spouse-friendly smoke. Usually, these aromatics are bland, boring, smell a little like coconut, and are just OK when mixed with some Virginia.
So I expected a moderate, boring, slightly sweet smoke here, which, on the high side, might be as good as, say, Mellow Mack or Sunset Breeze. No such luck. This tobacco was truly dreadful; in fact, unsmokable. It was bitter and bitey in a way I have trouble describing. It tasted like scapings from a badly oversmoked old Grabow tinged with a bit of coconut flavor. I have tried many good blends from Cornell and Diehl and at least one, Aleppo, that I think is a world-class smoke when properly aged. But this tobacco was just wretched. I don't know what happened, but this was the first tobacco in at least a year I couldn't finish at least a bowlful of.
