The grassy, citrusy Virginia is the base of the blend. The nutty, earthy burley plays a support role. The unsweetened black cavendish adds a little brown sugar. The amaretto topping tones down the tobaccos a bit, but it lacks a little depth. The nic-hit is barely noticeable. Won’t bite, but will get slightly warm on the tongue if puffed fast. Burns fairly cool and clean at a reasonable pace once dried a little, and the flavor is consistent to the finish. Leaves some moisture in the bowl, and needs a few relights. Has a pleasant, very short lived after taste. An all day smoke. Two and a half stars. This is also sold in the Super Value line, hence the duplication of that review here.
I really like the taste of this tobacco. It's not for everybody. A pleasant taste of Amaretto without any bite. This tobacco is generally wet out of the bag. It takes a couple of days to get the humidity right where it smokes well. I rotate this with my Prince Albert as my daily blends. I enjoy this tobacco and what can you say about the price, it's dirt cheap. I've been paying about $12 for a 14 ounce bag. My wife love the aroma of this tobacco the best of all the tobaccos I smoke.
This is probably the best "drugstore" smoke i've ever enjoyed. $2.50 at my local Drug Mart. The scent of the pouch is amazing, and the tobacco is very moist, so naturally, I threw some in a cob and lit up! The taste is delicious, and retains much of the enticing scent. The room note gives Captain Black a fierce competitor. Best "cheap" brand out there, hands down.
Bought this as a "Super Value" sample. Very moist out of the bag, needed a few hours to dry out before smoking. Strong sweet smell from the bag. Easy to pack and light. It has a sharp flavor that does remind me of amaretto. It will bite if pushed, but I found it pretty forgiving. I will probably pick up some more to keep around.
This stuff actually tastes like Amaretto when you smoke it. Sweet and cheap and easy to keep lit. Simple and tasty. You must first give it a week to dry out as with all Super Value tobaccos
