Rattray Union Jack

This won’t be a complex review, I’ll try to make it straight to the point. The first thing that catches your attention is the smell... when you open the tin, there will be an explosion of smell and if you leave this tobacco to try, your entire room will be perfumed. The smoke also has a very strong smell, but pleasant. You need to dry this at least 10 minutes, as it’s very wet and sticky. It doesn’t bite and burns decent. Mild to medium strenght. The taste is too chemical for me. The taste as well as the smell resemble a lot with W.O. Larsen 1864. The smoke is creamy, you feel a sweet taste that indeed resembles Amaretto. An aromatic fan would probably appreciate it more, especially those who like W.O. Larsen tobaccos. But this isn’t for me and I wouldn’t buy another tin (like I wouldn’t buy another W.O. Larsen tin). However, if you really want to impress people around you with a great smell, this is the tobacco that’s gonna do it. But as a smoking experience, it’s mediocre.
