Package note of chocolate, spices, and earth. Tobacco cut is a mix of cube, course, flake chucks, and a few ribbons. The tobacco is mostly brown, with a little tan and black. Moisture content is ok, some may prefer to dry it a bit. Burns slow with a few relights once lit. The strength is mild and nic is mild. Flavoring is mild, with notes of vanilla and sweeter. Both are up front in the beginning but settle down in the background after a few minutes. Taste is mild to medium and mostly consistent, with notes of toasted wood, very dry, slightly spicy, mildly sweet nuts, floral/herbal, molasses, spice, lemon grass, earth, bitter dark fruit, a brown sugar background note, and a peppery retro. Burley is leading with Cavendish and Virginia supporting. Latakia fills in when needed, and Perique is supposed to be here, but represented at all. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great.

The bag note is slight molasses sweet, hay, vegetative, woody, (smells I associate with burley), and a slight Latakia smoky musty smell. Bits and pieces of tobacco, not a cube cut, slightly moist but not sticky cased, packs and lights just fine.
So I notice the burley right away, which I tend to have an adverse reaction to. Sharp on the initial light but it never bite me. Woody, nutty, it’s nice. There’s a slight spice to this too, it’s very mild but I assume that’s the perique in it. The Latakia is very faint so much that I almost don’t detect it. The Virginias come out on top with tartness and sweetness. They say there’s black cavindish in it, this isn’t a sweet blend but it’s not a dry blend either. It had a happy middle spot where tobacco flavors dominate.
Overall it is a tart, citrus, slight pepper spice, a little smokey, nutty kind of blend. Not aromatic sweet, but not English dry. There’s another flavor working here too that I can’t put my finger on but it has a spice cabinet quality to it. May be the topping at work.
They say it’s an aromatic but not in todays sense. It’s a rather complex va/bur blend with a lot going on. Perfect for relaxing on holiday I suppose.
