Brigham Enterprises Inc. - Ripley Avenue.
Prominently medium brown ribbons, with a few specks of black and gold. The aromatic additions come across well from the tin, the rum especially. The moisture of it's good.
The topping covers, to a certain extent, a lot of the tobacco nuances. It's quite heavily flavoured, yet not 'sticky' seeming; if that makes sense. Because of the larger amount of brown Cavendish, compared to black, the smoke isn't monopolized by a cloying taste of vanilla. There is a delicately added vanilla flavour, but it's quite light. The rum has been included in a larger quantity, being molasses-sweet, and slightly piquant. The temperature's quite low, and it only bites when pushed.
Nicotine: mild to medium. Room-note: pleasant.
Ripley Avenue: it's alright, but when I want a vanilla/rum aromatic, there's lots better available. Two stars:
Somewhat recommended.
