Upon opening the bag I was greeted with a very strong whiskey aroma. The whiskey flavor overpowered the 1st third of the bowl and then faded away. The tobaccos dominated from then on with the whiskey flavor barely peeking through. No sweetness to the smoke. Smoked harsh and on the hot side no matter how I puffed or packed the pipe.
The tobacco was on the dry side so I rehydrated it very slightly which improved the smoke a little, but not by much. The Mrs. barely detected any room note. Actually the tobaaco tasted better when the whiskey flavor dissipated. Slight dampness left in the bowl.
1 star (D) no matter how good the price point.
Update 5-4-2018- My philosophy: There are no bad tobaccos, some are just better than others. After jarring for a month I thought I'd give this another try. Both pouch note and smoke mellowed somewhat, but alas I just could not warm up to this blend. Being very generous I'll go 1.5 stars. (D+)
