Jeez ... this stuff rocks big time ! It's the one in the white package . It smokes Cool , no bite , smokes slowly and evenly , great roomnote for sure .... but all that aside , the Flavor is great ! Like the description says , it's mainly black Cavendish with a whisper of Oriental , which doesn't sound like anything too unique ... but it's the blend and the flavoring . Kind of a mild spice .. hell , I don't know but it tastes great to me . Honestly , out of all the American style Cavendish blends , this one has blown me away . The oriental leaf is what makes all the difference and gives it it's uniqueness . This one really rocks and I wish I tried it 30 years ago . The great thing is , is that you can still taste tobacco in the background of the flavor .. quite a ways back , but it's there and it's Heavenly Edit : 3/2014
This is my favorite Aromatic Cavendish smoke . The room note blows everybody away more so than any other Aromatic I smoke
I'm convinced that this is the best American styled aromatic ever. ..... Its my favorite . If i could give it 5 stars, I would

This is a four star tobacco for what it is- An AMERICAN AROMATIC. People should know what that implies. If you like sweet, heavily cased tobaccos this is a real winner! I primarily smoke English blends but will smoke anything on occasion- except Perique! I must say this was excellent! Let me share an observation with my fellow smokers. If you are fond of Iwan Ries' "King's Oriental" you will definitely appreciate the entire China Black Series. For my West Coast Brethren- Dudes, Like, You know If you like RICH's "SWEET ORIENTAL" out of Portland , Oregon you will also like this series.Let it dry out in the Pouch for 20 minutes and then pack well and smoke normally and you will get a very rewarding experience! All of the blends have a sweet/ sour Oriental taste to them. I rank them as follows- FIRE CURED- 4 stars!, Whiskey- 3 stars! Vanilla -Burley 2 stars. The last being the least original in the series. Try 'em all. Splurge the $5 and try an American Tradition that has been around for a long time. Enjoy!

I have tried all of the China Blacks from the large tins and they are all very good. Fire Cured is the best, in my opinion. It has a woodsy smell and it doesn't bite. The tobacco is moist but lights and burns easily. However, packing it into the pipe must be done correctly. That is to say, by using the three stage method. The room aroma is sweet without smelling like a candy store. It really does sort of smell like a fire place. The taste is very mild and won't cause you to have to think too much. There is a richness that comes from the flavor and not the tobacco. This is one of the few good tasting tobaccos that the wife will let me smoke around her. By the way, this review is based on the Three Star 16 oz can. I am not familiar with the other versions of this.
