HU Tobacco Dockworker
(3.52)
A strong, chocolaty and spicy Malawi Burley is at the center of the Dockworker Flake. It is complemented by spicy Orientals and Virginia from Zambia, India and the Philippines. The result is a sweet-spicy blend with a beautiful Burley/Oriental touch. This unusual blend impresses with a very complex and well balanced flavor. A medium strong flake for friends of fragrant tobaccos . No added flavor!

I'm testing a few HU mixes and so far Dockworker easily takes first place as it's the type of tobacco I enjoy the most.
The tobacco comes with the perfect humidity to load immediately. I would say for preservation it might be on the dry side. Once the pipe is lit, the tobacco is gentle but at the same time full of nuances, I suppose provided by the range of virginias from different parts of the world, to which burley is added and a bit of Turkish Oriental. The burley rounds out and enhances the virginias as I have not seen in another mixture. There seems to be some discussion about the occasional flavors coming out of the fruity kind, but they don't really seem to come from any coating being applied, they seem natural. After smoking a few pipes I was sorry I only bought one tin, so I quickly got a few more.
Dockworker has meant a great discovery for me, to the point that it has made me get serious for to write this review...
