I wanted to rate this tobacco higher because I quite like it really.
The base tobacco is straightforward good quality and the added peach fragrance is both pleasant and well balanced. I just feel that it is let down by the cut. It's more of a shag than a ribbon (at least in my understanding of the terms) and this seems to flatten the taste as well as making it a bit more of a faf to deal with. Coarser textured tobaccos tend to carry the tastes across the palette with a bit more conviction and I often find shags a bit more temperamental in terms of how they respond to variations in packing and smoking techniques. This could well be a three or even four star tobacco, given the right cut.
Having said that, G,H&co. do make some excellent shag cut tobacco (Kendal Kentucky is a masterpiece), this just isn't one of them.
