Any other fans of this tobacco? I've been smoking the heck outta this stuff since receiving a generous helping from another BoB.
It's not terribly complex, but has an excellent flavor and scent in the bowl as well as a great tin and room note. Nice virginias, very smooth. Topped/cased (i assume) with something i cant quite place or identify, but seems to give a sort of spice quality to it. Not like pepper spice, like cinnamon or cardamom or bergamot or something. Havent researched it much so I'm just going off of what i taste/smell.
Works well to make the va a wee bit more interesting. No harshness at all in the batch i've got, and the stuff is infinitely smokable and tolerates even a pretty rapid and heavy puffing pace. Of course as with most, its better slow but it does seem to be one of the more forgiving blends i've come across.
I should add the caveat that i have no idea how much age is on the batch i received, and it was fully rubbed out when I got it, so i may not have experienced it "young" and definitely have not tried it in it's initial full flake form yet. That said, i will definitely be adding more to my cellar, even if i have to let it sit a while to duplicate this experience. Just curious as to other's experience with this dandy blend.
