I finally opened the tin of Haddo's that I've been sitting on. WOW, its AMAZING! The tin aroma is overwhelmingly sweet & rich, like rum soaked raisins & plums. The topping actually comes through while smoked, & it is quite satisfying. I smoked it in a new meer, haven't tried it in a briar yet, but this will be in my permanent rotation from now on. It is a quality smoke, under the flavor is very good tobacco, just absolutely satisfying,
As it was cold & rainy out when I went to smoke last night, I only packed about three quarters of a bowl of this tobacco. I smoked fairly quickly, I was walking the dogs while I smoked, but it didn't even hint at becoming hot, nor did it even suggest that it was possible for it to bite. It tastes very 'Full'. I don't know how to describe it, but it is satisfying, leaves nothing to be desired. By the time I was working onmyhe bottom of the bowl (which was bone dry, even though I packed directly out of a freshly opened tin) I noticed I was slightly light headed. By the time I was trying to coax just one more puff out of the final ash left in my bowl, my stomach was warning me that I had more nicotine than was prudent.
This is the first really potent nic hit that I've experienced. Its not unpleasant at all. I went to bed about a half hour later, & it was nice to have the little head buzz from the tobacco as I fell asleep,
If you haven't tried this, you really should try it. I'd be more than happy to share some with anyone that would like to try before they buy.
