This is tobbaco light. Bought a tin last week at JR's. Smoked it during the course of the week. Has little kick. Is what I would call an American English blend. Someone tried here they just missed the mark. Lights well and smokes slow. Took several relight and more tamp than I am used to. This is a tobbaco that you seem to have to play with. Under five I might buy again. Over five it is not worth the smoke. Shame.. I was so looking forward to a good smoke here but the blending never came out to greet me. It was just a very average smoke in a field full of better blends. Nice to try but I will look elsewhere for something to add in my rotation.

This is my first sampling of the Viking Label. Pleasant smoke with a light Latakia application. None of the tobaccos take over the blend and dominate the flavor profile. Semi-sweet and sour flavor with a hint of camp fire smoke. I feel the Perique is either applied lightly or has not shown at all. This is a good entry level smoke for those wanting to try an English blend. Mild enough to smoke all day if you like your weed on the light side. Not a power hitter on the Nicotine side either. Will smoke remainder of the tin but will most likely not make it a regular here at the ole Dix Creek Farm.
