I dislike krumble kake. No taste. Go for Bengal Slices instead, although it also has the kake presentation. If you like light crossover blends, you might like this.

Fusilier's Ration does not deliver. Compared to the original, it has not much to do with it. And, taken on its own, it has no originality; as my impressions are that FR combines the appearance and characteristics of Plum Pudding (which is an uninteresting and very bland tobacco) with a mild but still noticeable and unpleasant aftertaste that is similar to that foul War Horse Bar casing. In summary, a very bland tobacco that lacks everything from good burning qualities to great taste. I have no doubt that Russ Ouellette is a very good blender. But I believe that whomever takes over production of his recipes lets him, and the customers, down.

It's like it's trying to be an old fashioned english balkan cake but it totally misses the mark. It crumbles up too fine to be easy to pack and when you do manage to get a decent pack it just gets gloopy by the end. sutliff should stick to aromatics.
