Tinder Box Captain Spice

I want to like this tobacco. The pouch aroma is light on vanilla with a hint of liquorice and perhaps maple, but the room note is not quite so nice, leaving you with the unpleasant overtone of warm vinyl mixed with cotton candy. Tobacco flavor is very light, mostly overpowered by the casing, as to be expected from a bulk aromatic. The problem, however, is that it's cloyingly sweet. The top flavoring does not jump out at you like others such as Blue Note, nor does it create dissonance with the tobacco, but just comes off as sickeningly rich, much like eating far too much creme brulee. Shame, considering I like the light vanilla note. The above is a matter of my own personal taste; however, the downfall of this blend is that it's simply far too moist. After drying a 1oz sample for two straight days, my pipe is still sizzling something fierce as I get down to the bottom. I'll try drying this out and blending it with another aromatic and seeing what happens.
