Butera Kingfisher
(2.92)
A distinctive combination of zesty lemon Virginia, burley, and perique. All whole leaf is layered together then pressed in cakes until the blend of whole leaf are perfectly matured. Cut and spun to ribbon form, the ribbon is then pressed into cakes for a second time (Double Cut). Then we cut the cake into flake form and packaged in 2 oz tins achieving an even more exquisite finish as time passes. A light, sweet, mellow smoke, subtle and complex, with a flavor curve ranging from lightly zesty through richly satisfying.

Cigarettish (bitter and dull), with sour notes. Of very little interest for me, but without extremely unpleasant traits.

Great smoking characteristics . Packs well , lights well , burns evenly . Other than that it didn't do much for me . It's a good tobacco for a light smoke , but not very memorable to this hard core latakia lover . It's on the list to return to in a few years . I may revise this in the future .

Here's a nice dictionary entry for "krumble kake tobacco". It's good, it smokes evenly and burns well, and it has
virtually no interesting characteristics to me. This is a shame because it's named after a very entertaining bird and the tin art for both this
and Pelican make the tobacco interesting for appearance alone. This is not a tobacco that would be gracefully skimming the ocean waves,
though - it would more likely be plunked home in front of the TV watching sitcoms. It's not a bad tobacco at all, just not a very good or
notable one.
