This is another of the classic twists, only slightly less powerful than brown bogie but otherwise a very similar tobacco base, with the rum and sugar topping subtly applied.
The aroma of the twist is missile of strong, earthy Virginia tobaccos, the rum sweetness is very mild indeed and it doesn't smell alcoholic.
I cut it into slivers with a sharp penknife and rub it out a little before loading my pipe. This particular twist lights quite easily and doesn't need many relights, although a little drying time may help in this regard.
The flavour starts mild, sweet, hay, slightly grassy, with a hint of rum in the background. A slight cigar note appears at times. An earthy rich character develops as it is smoked, with an astringent woody background. The aftertaste is leathery and enjoyable. It sometimes offers a tongue tingle from the ample nicotine, but doesn't ever bite.
I find it most satisfactory, but it's not a smoke for beginners. If it leaves you wanting more, it's time to try brown bogie.
