[QUOTE="scottbtdmb, post: 213944, member: 1043"] Just got my tin from Iwan Ries in the mail yesterday. Has a really strong, almost beef jerky like smell. Had to dry it over night to make it smokable, as it comes quite moist due to the stream pressing of the tobaccos. Lit a pipe of it this morning and was blown away. Very earthy and an almost salty smoked meat taste up front, with sweet undertones in the background from the flue cured Va's. Definitely a decent hit of nicotine and definitely a full bodied smoke. Quite easy to keep lit (as long as you dry it considerably) and I got absolutely no bite, as one would expect from any blend out of the HH Series. If Iwan Ries still has some in stock, I highly encourage anyone who is a fan of burleys, or dark-fired tobaccos (G&H/Samuel G type blends) to pick up a tin. You will not be disappointed!!! I am going to hold off on purchasing anymore now to allow others to pick up some tins from Iwan Ries, but once this stuff becomes readily available in a few months, I will be purchasing several tins to cellar. Not sure how it will age, but according to MacBaren, this stuff was made to be smoked fresh out of the tin, and I can certainly agree with that notion. -Scott [/QUOTE]
