Tsuge - Gunjin - The Samurai God.
This would be a far better smoke if I never found the same problem as I did with their Fujin about a week ago: no seal on the tin. So, I was disappointed when I got no hiss as I popped off the lid!
The blend's mostly a mixture of medium brown and yellow tobaccos, and just a few specks of black. There's some fairly coarse pieces, and it's too dry.
The flavour's quite nice, mostly Virginia and Orientals, and some Cavendish sweetness. I don't believe the tin description, I can't taste a speck of Perique in it! So, it doesn't sound that bad so far? Well, it burns hot, fast, and bites me.
Nicotine: medium. Room-note: tolerable.
Gunjin: like it's sibling, Fujin, the lack of seal ruins it. Not recommended:
One star.
