Comment = This tobacco has an Awful Smelling Pouch Note. The Flavor is terrible because a topping of cheap cognac has been used. This smoke produced a huge Bit and a bitter Taste. This is a dreadful blend that I can't recommend to anyone. As a general note, I find that Altadis doesn't seem to use premium leaf tobacco as compared to the other major Brands. I hope that Mac Baren the new owner of Altadis as of May 2013, can improve the quality of the Altadis blends.

Rich heavy tin note. Somewhat moist from the tin. Requires drying time or it will be goopy. A blah blend. Not bad but not good. Chemical taste noted.
