Based on a small sample I was sent: I can see why some people might dislike this. If you haven't tried a GH-style Lakeland or a few of the SG-Lakelands (or if you don't care for either type), this would be quite startling. The tobaccos are v much overshadowed by the toppings, which remind me of various of the Gawith Hoggarth Lakelands, as mentioned above. So take the VAs in those down a notch, and increase the 'floral-ness' up a notch, and add a touch of incense (although nothing like the intensity of Sam Gawith's RB Plug), and that pretty much sums up my reaction to this sample.
The cut makes this burn a tad on the fast side, but not unusually so; no real bite. As I like most of the GH floral Lakelands (e.g Grasmere, etc.), I enjoyed this. If it were readily available, I'd certain buy a tin to see if I liked it enough to add to my usual blends. If you dislike such blends, stay far away; if you haven't tried one, this isn't the one to start off with!

I wouldn't go as far as the claim in the name, but this still is an enjoyable smoke. Yellow and brown VAs result in a tin aroma that is initially very strong and reminds me of the Orlick VAs. However,I believe there is no casing. The tobacco has been partially rubbed out and results in an even packing with a unifrom burn rate. The flavor is consistent throughout the smoke and not influenced by varying bowl sizes. If you enjoy straight VAs, you might like this one. A slightly wetter smoke towards the bottom of the bowl than I prefer, but still tolerable.
