To whomever placed this in the current BoB boxpass let me just say THANKS. Wow! This one has been on my TAD list but this was my first experience with it. The gush of air escaping from the tin upon opening was simple incredible. The best way I can describe the aroma is to tell you to imagine a steaming cup of hot chocolate laced with a generous portion of ruby port. The moisture content was just right for packing the old 1909 Peterson Patent Era 9s. A single light and smoking nirvana followed. I don't think that I have ever been more impressed by a tobacco upon first tasting as I have been with this one. The flavor is full and creamy with just a little tinge of perique at the end. Slowly sipped I just can't imagine how pipe smoking can get much better than this.
