Not a great tobacco, unless you enjoy the taste of cigarettes. If you are looking for the complexities of Orientals, such as you might find in Duhill's Durbar. Don't bother with this. I can grow to appreciate many tobacco if I smoke them long enough. I suppose I could grow to like this one. But what's the point? It is most definitely monochromatic. It does burn much too quickly. It does taste like Camel cigarettes.
I will keep the jar I have as a blender, but I'm certain I will not try it by itself again. Not saying I hate it. But I'm sure I can always find something else I would enjoy more. The fact that it burns at a rapid rate, and is difficult to pack tightly does not help the situation at all.

I grabbed a couple of ounces a week ago. Meh. Too dry and burns too quickly. I couldn't make a bowl go past the 20-minute mark, my usual being between 45 and 70 minutes depending on the mix, pipe, etc. I tried hydrating it a bit but now it refuses to burn over 3 minutes. Yep: I'm drying it up again. Maybe the ribbons are too thin. Perhaps the casing is not retaining enough humidity. The few full puffs were pretty good, touching on aromatic and, well, a little low on the Oriental experience. Too much work for too little return. Not for me.
