Gawith Hoggarth - Kendal's Banana Gold.
I don't like the pouch-note, it does smell of bananas, but not at all natural: chemical, false, and sickly.
As it's loosely pouched, the moisture's good, so I can pipe it right away.
The smoke has a good hit of bananas to it; not chemical-like how I found the unlit aroma. It tastes to me, more like the desert I used to have as a kid: bananas in custard. I wasn't expecting to like a banana tobacco, but it's good!
Because this is a shag cut blend, it can burn fast; by going easy with my puffs I can double the time I have to enjoy it.
I find the nicotine quite mild from KBG, it's not really mild, but about right for me.
This is quite a surprise; I couldn't have it in my rotation, but I'd still recommend it.
Three stars.
