A strange tobacco. Very strange. I'm not sure about it, but I would urge anyone to try it. I think the aromatic version of this contains liquorice and I was definitely tasting something like that with this one. Liquorice is nice and all, but I wouldn't have it every day. Another review said it tasted of burning plastic and I can see where he is coming from, but again I think it is more of a liquorice. I found there to be a very complex flavour in this tobacco - smoke it quicker and the flavour profile changes and becomes more woodsy, smoke it slower and you get the lakeland liquorice flavour.
The cut of this wasn't to my taste - it was a fine shag and prone to going out often, but once lit burned cool as anything and produced thick white smoke. In fact, some of the taste could be described as an old locomotive, with the distinctive coal smell in the air!
So, I dunno. Won't be a regular for me, but please do try just a sample of it. It is definitely an experience.

Got this one bc I enjoyed the rope version.
It’s very black. Oily, shiny and feels damp to the fingers. It does have some coin like pieces, but it is mostly very long ribbon strands. Almost a shag, and it handles like one. It takes a few lights to get it going. It burns slow and cool, and has very similar characteristics to the rope version. It does however have some differences. Most noticeable is some sort of an essence, but I’m not sure what it is. Maybe clove? It makes a slight numbness on the tongue for me. It is slightly sweet and very smoky. It’s not great, and has a funny aftertaste to me.
