What I have is a sample tin of H&H Obsidian that I got as a random "non-aromatic" sample with an order that I had placed. I can't figure out how to pack it! I have been having great success with the three-step method with various ribbon cut tobaccos but the Obsidian looks like dry, black brownie crumbs when I open the tin. I think that I might enjoy this blend more if I weren't constantly getting giant snoot-fuls of it on re-light after re-light.
