[QUOTE="DrumsAndBeer, post: 276785, member: 2403"] Beetle, I don't think you're the only one to not enjoy this tobacco right off the bat. I was sent a generous sample by Natch and I found it to be just okay. It tasted a lot like cigarettes and the most I got out of it was a very subtle sweetness that was right on the border of being undetectable. I can see NF being "serviceable" as a smoking mixture, but due to my own smoking habits and my busy schedule, I prefer to smoke bolder mixtures with big flavor. To me Mac Baren NF lacked statement. My favorite VA mixtures all display that inspiring mid bowl/end bowl flavor crescendo and gradual sweetening that occurs with spiciness that slowly ramps up along the way. By mid bowl NF seemed to flatten out, bitter, and get more and more ashy tasting as the bowl progressed. Not a winner in my books, but not exactly a dog either. [/QUOTE]
