Newminster No. 23 Blackberry Brandy

This blend screams sour grape when smelling it in the jar, almost like a sour grape hard candy. During the initial char light, the sour grape fills the nostrils and zaps the tongue, it seems very artificial. However, after about 1/4 of the bowl it goes away, and you are left with a smooth sweet smoke that is rather pleasant. The taste then transfers to blue berry muffins. Wait, isn't this black berry brandy? Well, that's what they say, however, it tastes identical to fresh baked blue berry muffins and that, is a good thing. The nicotine is there to satisfy the craving and the smoke is enjoyable. It burns well with no relights and as the bowl progresses you are left with a pleasant aftertaste. This stuff is pretty good, and I think the burley really shines in this blend. My jar of this baccy is labeled Blue Berry Muffin.
