Gawith Hoggarth - Brown Pigtail Sweet Rum.
I find it difficult to detect much of the rum in both the aroma and smoke. To be fair, the smoke has a bit higher rum flavour than the aroma, but only slightly. The twist is on the thin side, making it easy to slice and the content of moisture is a beneficial factor. I don't have to let it air and I think that's somewhat due to the thickness of the rope as it's not thick enough to store a lot of water.
I notice after the first five minutes of smoking that the rum becomes a little easier to taste. It doesn't become like a true aromatic in flavour but it seems less daunting to identify it. This contains a hefty wallop of nicotine. In the description it says "ideal for quick smoke breaks" and trust me, for nicotine satisfaction you won't need long! I feel that the sweetness of the Virginia cuts through better than the rum. The rum only offers a very light addition. I find the same situation in the room note: rum, where?!! A good quality is the burn. Very cool, very steady and very even.
This is a good blend, hence why I score it three stars but my main issue is the name. Sweet Rum, I find that a bit of a misnomer!
