HU Tobacco Scotney
(2.50)
Translation from the German website: Scotney ....dark-brown, aromatic, strong. These are the most appropriate attributes that mark the ready rubbed flake Scotney. A powerful Virginia/Perique ready rubbed flake forms the base of Scotney. A decent topping, which supplements the character of the tobacco best, lends Scotney its distinctive aroma.
Notes: This brand new rubbed broken flake is comprised of three different Virginias from India and 10% perique. The topping is a light touch of vegetable, making it slightly aromatic.

The Virginias are earthy, woody, tangy dark fruit sweet with a touch of tart citrus, light grassiness with a bare hint of cigar. They are the lead components. The perique offers plums, figs, and dried fruit with some pepper in a support role. The amount of perique is ten percent of the blend. The topping is a sweet green tomato that mildly sublimates the varietals. It synergistically melds well with the tobaccos as the flavor is very consistent all the way to the finish. The strength and taste levels are medium. The nic-hit is a rung below the strength threshold. Won't bite or get harsh. This lightly aromatic broken flake is easily rubbed out, and burns cool, clean and rather smooth at a reasonable pace with a mostly consistent sweet and lightly spicy flavor from top to bottom. Requires an average number of relights, and leaves little dampness in the bowl. Has a pleasant, short lived after taste and room note. Can be an all day smoke.

On first light this tobacco did not impress, it seemed monotonous and had a flavour on top of the Virginia, not entirely dissimilar to the smell of the veg drawer in the fridge when veg has gone seriously arwy.
However, with perseverance this blend transformed. By half way through it developed a complex array of flavours. A well rounded smoke that casually shifts between delicious VA and that unusual organic element, but never boring.
I don't think I'd get it again, but I enjoyed what I had.

Except for the citrus note, I have to agree with JimInks' review; perhaps through the power of suggestion, I can even agree with the slight tomato-like note in the topping, although I suppose that may be from the processing rather than an added casing and/or topping.
