Black Cavendish and some good quality Virginia. To compliment the already smooth characteristic of this blend a dash of some kind of fruit has also been added. The result is a very smooth, nild strength tobacco with a good volume of smoke and a delightful room note.

I had not tried any of the earlier annual editions submitted by W.Ø. Larson, and so I am unable to compare this to them. The first thing that I was struck by when I opened the tin was the dryness of the tobacco. Not that it was dried out, but it was not as moist as comparable tobaccos (say, Erik Nording's contributions). The tin required no airing at all. The tobacco packs intuitively, with no required adjustments for burning characteristics. It smokes effortlessly, and by that I mean to say that it lights well, and burns evenly and completely, leaving a light powdery ash. The taste is mildly sweet, especially compared to the very sweet room note. This tobacco does make a wonderful cleaner smoke. By this I mean, you might puff a pipe or two in a room after a night of poker with the guys to make the cigar odors left behind more palatable to those less enlightened to the pleasures of cigar smoking.
I do agree that this tobacco is not a standout blend from the standpoint of originality, but I have found that every thing it tries to do, it does well. It is a quality tobacco that I enjoy smoking emmensely. When this tin is done, I will not hesitate to replace it.
