Ladies and Gentlemen. This is the day I am gonna get my ass kicked. The reason I am saying this is because I do not think this blend deserves 4 stars.
Please allow me the opportunity to explain before I am turned into Lamb Cake for that wonderful blend from Australasia.
When I read reviews looking for a great tasting blend, I specifically look for Virginia or Virginia Perique blends that can make my toes curl with delight and bring me to tears until my pipe gurgles from the enourmous amount of moisure generated by my emotional state. Think Reiner LGF, Old Gowrie.
I think I was expecting too much or I got a mediocre tin at best but I found this blend lacking in the taste department. It was very flat and almost tasteless. I really smoke lots of a blend and will never review until I smoked at least 3/4 of a tin.
The packing and burn are spot and I cannot fault it for anything it does wrong, it just lacks in the taste department.
Namaste Pipepundit, Howdy Pipestud, Groete Loosewatches and greetings to all the many many reviewers that make this site so great.
