Having heard and read so much about HU blends, I included a tin of this in a recent European order. I love trying new blends. While my experience has yielded far more misses than hits, this tobacco is a real hit. A home run. A grand slam. This is an aromatic but not a sticky, goopy one. The immediate tin note upon opening is tobacco, liquor and orange/tangerine. The flavor is orange, tobacco and perhaps some dark chocolate. However, this is not a cloying orange like Rattrays Exotic. Rather, this has a pronounced but still elegant bitter orange/orange peel flavor. There is also some strength in this blend, rather like Dan Tobacco's Milonga and Devil's Holiday, and may not be for everyone in that department.
