[QUOTE="Bugsahearn, post: 427890, member: 3758"] I never see this blend come up in conversation and couldn't find any threads on it here. First off the tin has very cool art. Its a thin shag cut which isn't too moist...I left some out for about two hours and it was dry by then but you could certainly smoke it out of the tin if you like that. It has an anise tin note, which is something I've been looking for. Not sure what other notes I can pick up, it says wine and spices on the tin but I get mostly anise...not incredibly strong...not licorice but anise and it smells nice, maybe almost a trace of something that reminds me of "orange bitters". It's a shag and it clumps so after pulling apart it packs very easily. Easily to light, the anise flavor comes through but not too strong. Its all virginia, smokes great, no relights, the topping is easier to taste the more moist it is and the anise comes through in the room note and the flavor but it melds with the virginia nicely and the tobacco taste is not overridden at all; a nice blend. The tin note is similar somewhat to GH Rum Flake. I'm always looking for anise blends and I rarely see this one recommended as such but it is and its good. I like it. For those who are familiar with Germain blends, how does No 7 mixture compare to Plum Cake. [/QUOTE]
