Put me in the Good Rev. Rizzo's camp. This extraordinarily good stuff. It delivers what I consider to be the Mark Ryan flavor profile found in Picayune and Cockstrong: Smooth and full-flavored in the mouth, mellow on the tongue but spicy in the nose, a tingle developing into a zing. This is an English style mixture which enhances the spicy essence with the smokiness of latakia. It also has that D&R piquancy due to the combination of perique and Kentucky. But the quality of the sweet Virginia has to be the main component here. This would be for me a unique English latakia mixture if it were not for Ryujin which is somewhat similar. The room note to me resembles the smell of incense. I have no idea how this could improve with age. I smoked fresh from the tin on delivery. I am impressed.

Dry plum smell out of the tin reminiscent of Nightcap. Amazingly beautiful various cut styles of the baccy itself looking like an artwork. Smokes ok out of the tin, but is a little too moist and will really open up and grow on you after some time in the jar and some venting, otherwise 1/3 of the bowl you might just be working through the steam. Taste profile is somewhat similar to Nightcap with the tangy dominating, however, Fujin provides a much more complex and satiating smoke, where every element surfaces as you work through the bowl - you get tangy per, smokey la, some sweet but not too much from va and a bit of zest from kentucky. It doesn't bite, it's not peppery. Top shelf stuff that grows better with even just a month in a jar. I have to stress again - this is an orchestra kind of English. Burns clean, no dottle, a fine and original take on the genre. Nic is solid mid.

Absolutely the finest looking leaf presentation I've ever seen, I obtained a sample at the Chicagoland Pipe Show. Holy smokes, a total knock out. The Virginia is amazing in this. Remarkably sweet and highly recommended.
