[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 455258, member: 2318"] I've been puffing a pouch of the Amphora Original, brown wrapper. I like the packaging. Open the pouch, and it smells like burley, mostly, don't notice anything conspiculously chocolatey. Cut is long ribbons. My preferred way to handle such a cut is to lightly rub it into the shape of the bowl, only smaller, then stuff it gently, letting it expand to fill the bowl, then put a pinch on top, flatten to a light springy top, then put a match to it. That's when the chocolatey topping takes it's cue and continues through maybe two thirds of the bowl. After that it's mostly burley. Lights very easily and it's usually a one match smoke. Burns cool with no bite. Nice choice if you're looking for a bit of chocolate, a short smoke, no need for coaxing, and an ambiance that won't leave the delicate choking. Burns dry and leaves little or no dottle. I've used a Country Gent cob and a stubby tall-bowled Mountbatten Dublin. Three out of five stars IMHO. [/QUOTE]
