The spicy, woody, earthy, dry, dark fired Kentucky is the main component. The mildly spicy, woody, floral, earthy, herbal Orientals are supporting players. The grassy, citrusy Virginias are condiments in terms of effect. The smoky, woody, musty sweet Cyprian Latakia under scores most every puff in the background. The spice from the perique melds with that of the Orientals, leaving mostly plum and raisins as noticeable aspects that waft in and out of the mix. The strength is medium, while the taste is just short of the center of medium to full. The nic-hit is almost as potent as the strength level. Won’t bite, but this blend has enough spice that I recommend a slow puffing cadence. Burns fairly cool and very clean at a reasonable pace with a mildly inconsistent, moderately sweet, more savory spicy flavor that translates to the lingering after taste. Leaves little dampness in the bowl, and requires an average number of relights. Not an all day smoke, and I suggest a small to medium size bowl for this one.

This is a pretty nice smoke. Mostly Kentucky and Perique providing a smoky earthiness and a plum spice respectively. Can only taste the Lat on occasion. It mostly just adds to the smokiness of the DFK. The Virginia adds a nice sweetness, but little flavor. The Burley adds a little background nuttiness. Has enough strength to satisfy. Good stuff.

Medium in body. No added flavoring detected. Medium to full in taste. Burns very well.

This may be the best of the Tsuge god series. It's a pretty decent blend! Got a lot of different flavors going on, and I think with some age it will just get better. The latakia sort of takes the backseat to the orientals, just like I like it. It peeks its head forward now and again, but for the majority of the smoke I get predominantly orientals. Smooth, spicy, tangy orientals, with just a tad of sweetness off the Virginia's. The perique is noticeable intermittently bit mostly just serves to beef up the low end. The blend is faintly similar to black house with a more orientals forward design. Although technically a ribbon cut, there are some big chunks of leaf in there. I like that, shows you what you're working with. My tin needed a little dry time due to some dampness in the perique. It smokes well with no harshness or bite. I'd recommend trying this one. Out of the god blends it's probably the only one I'll add to steady rotation.
