Tsuge Premium Pipe Tobacco Winter's Embrace
(1.73)
Winter's Embrace expertly blends bright flue cured Virginia tobaccos with mellow burleys and a soft black cavendish for a pleasant, mild smoke. A light topping of vanilla and fruit flavors create a terrific room note.

I bought all of the Four Seasons tins when there was a buy-3-get-1-free sale. So far I've had summer and autumn and enjoyed them both. This one, however, is a different story. I may have just gotten a bad tin. Upon opening I usually await that first rush of the tin note, but here - nothing. Tobacco is very light in appearance and is very dry, which is why I think it might just be a defective tin. I had 5 bowls of it to give it a chance. It lights right up (since it's so dry) but all I get is a very light grassy taste. Only the faintest hint of a casing. I'm going to jar the rest with a rehydrating stone in it to see if that helps. If not, I'll move on to Spring and give this one a miss.
