As with all Rattray's, high quality tobacco, gone to waste by cheap chemicals that scorched my tongue, burned my pipe and turned any Borkum Riff blend into a worthy competitor. Its only good point was a dry smoke that ended up in grey ash, but what less could I expect from Rattray's tobacco. If they can't make me like an aromatic then I give up, it's not my league.
A little anecdote: my wife is a cigarette smoker. A while ago, I handed her a VaPer and explained her how it was high quality cigarette-like tobacco with a touch of Perique, bla, bla... Today, she was really pleased at HS's room note and asked me for the pipe to try it. After a few puffs, she said: "Mild, but not bad. This is not much of a Virginia, but it sure's got some Perique". I almost fainted.
