GQ Tobaccos Rum & Honey
(3.33)
As a rich and cool tobacco with a room note to please those who don't like latakia or Kentucky, they are pungent when burning! Built on a foundation of rum soaked brown twist, with some sweet gold and black cavendish to tone the blend down a little. This tobacco burns slowly and works well in a large bowl and smokes very cool with a good dose of vitamin N (nicotine). The use of honey and spices, along with the Rum makes for a sweet aroma that pleases most.
Notes: Rum & Honey was a personal blend of Glynn's he made years ago as a tobacco which smells nice, but isn't just hot air. "An aromatic with balls" -- Glynn's one line on this one.

The smell of this blend is great, something woody, floral and nutty. The taste is very low bitterness, somewhat sweet and a bit spicy. It burns pretty well. The smoke is very smooth. At the end it has a spicy taste. For sure I will buy it more times.

For once the description at the top of the page is spot on. Fresh sample was sticky and bunched up if pinched so I gave it a good hour to dry back in a warm spot. What you do get in this one is a good slow burner and lots more nicotine than most aromatics. I find the smoke to be rich and full and my stomach tells me the vit n is finding it's way down.
If you like dark sticky sweet boozy tobacco then you are in the right place. I think this takes a little bit of effort to get the full enjoyment drying and packing with care but once mastered will give great pleasure. Buy 25 g minimum would be my advice and have a go.
