Maybe the blend has changed, but the notes in the store list this as having burley and Virginia flake, cube cut burley, black cavindish, with vanilla and a touch of deer tongue. I tasted all of this. This is a dry tobacco blend, not wet at all. There's a light vanilla scent in the bag and in the room afterward. I have heard deer tongue has sort of a minty flavor, and that is noticable. This was different, and I'm glad I tried it. It was nice to get an introduction to deer tongue's flavor.

I have learned that deer tongue has a minty vanilla flavor, and that's definitely here, but after a while I started to notice this blend burned hot on me, and I have moved on to other options. Like some old girlfriends, I wished this could have worked out better. But this just wasn't the one, and I have moved on. I have adjusted the rating accordingly.
