This country boy ain't got all that sophisticated nuance thing going on, so I'll just say what I think of this blend.
When I opened the tub, the aroma was almost nonexistent. The tobacco seemed rather on the dry side. The cut is closer to CBK than Carter Hall (My only frames of reference). Apparently room note is OK as my dogs did not start crying to be let outside.
My first bowl was in a modded Country Gentleman. The first thing that struck me was a musty, earthy flavor. Not unpleasant, but not wow either.
The next bowl was in an IMP meer. The flavor was more pleasant than in the cob.
The 3rd bowl was in a KW relief grain billiard, one of the non stingered ones. The smoke was bordering on the unpleasant for me.
I am now on the fourth bowl in the same CG. Maybe my taste buds reset blindingly fast, but it is much better this time.
I do not recollect ever smoking Sugar Barrel so I have no idea as to how true it is to its inspiration. It does seem to burn rather quickly.
I'll finish the tub, but probably will not buy it again.
