Paul Olsen - No. 43 (My Own Blend).
Note: I reviewed this abut 4 months ago but as I sat smoking a bowl of it this morning looking at my review I realized my opinion has changed quite a lot so I thought I'd re-post.
It's different to most straight Virginia's, for starters it's very dark brown. The moisture's good but that's not due to it being unsealed and breathing for a few months, it was good when I initially opened it. The layout of the blend inside the tin is the same as most M.O.B. flake's: long and coiled.
The second difference is strength: it's a lot stronger than I normally find straight Virginia's: medium to strong, airing more towards strong. The flavour also differs, it's very full for a straight Virginia. The first extra taste I could identify was sort of like Kentucky, but after about a third of a bowl I begin to obtain a molasses sweetness; if this was present throughout it would score higher. It burns well but sadly bites my tongue like mad; I wouldn't call it 'Relaxing'.
I don't like the room-note: dirty, and I won't buy any to cellar. I normally like Paul Olsen blend's but this isn't very good. Not terrible, but definitely worth no more than two stars.
Somewhat recommended.
