What's in a name? In this case, it says it all. Bland, bitey, Mac Baren-type experience.

My tobacconist told me they sell a lot of this, and stongly encouraged me to try it so I bought an ounce. I smoked 2 half-bowls (couldn't make it through the whole thing, and God knows I tried!). Because of such a high reccomendation I thought "surely it must get better". I was wrong. Don't be tricked by its smell in the bag. A wonderful aroma of vanilla and brightness which reminded me of going to the ice cream stands as a child. Those smells are all lost as soon as fire touches them. All you are left with is flat virginia tobacco, with a small out of place sweetness sneaking up from the cavindish. I have found more excitement in second-hand cigarette smoke. Speaking of which I tried to give the rest away to someone who rolled their own cigarettes but couldn't find anyone who did. This will be that last time I let someone sell me a tobacco I am apprehensive about.

Very mild slightly sweet in the bag. A viscious biter in the pipe. And you don't even get any real flavor for your pain. There are better options out there.
