[QUOTE="alfredo_buscatti, post: 260487, member: 36"] I've smoked about 2 oz and must say that this tobacco never fails to please, and the novelty and craft of this blend is like nothing I've tasted before. Like Escudo, I feel it will have a permanent place in my cellar. I recently bought a pound of OD. I want to say that the high-end note of the oriental tastes like mint. But it is intertwined so skillfully with the burley and cigar that it has just enough of a darkened tone. Though the blend is 20% Pennsylvania maduro, I taste the cigar more like the CC El Rey del Mundo coronas that I was smoking last spring, more medium and spicy than the vast majority of the rich and deep spice of Nicaraguan tobacco. For me the cigar is suggestive compared to the bold tones of cigar in Billy Budd. The blend notes say that this is an oriental/cigar blend; I would say oriental, with the skillful addition of cigar. Who smokes all day? Yet the comment that this or that tobacco could be an all day smoke is often made. If I smoked all day, OD would be more than satisfactory; but its novelty and craft would keep intruding on my tasks, clamoring to be savored. [/QUOTE]
