I'm glad I opted for 2 tins of this. It's like cutting up a cantaloupe or honeydew mellon on the backdrop of freshly cut grass while someone 4-5 houses down firing up a grill with a fruitwood for smoking (which you only occasionally get some wafts of).

As a side note, cadence can affect taste and how I typically smoke is I use some like, build up rabbit puffs? It's like when you're trying to relight a pipe that's about to go out, but more gentle. So a "normal/typical" average draw is broken into three smaller draws in rapid succession, with retrohaling adjusted on the fly for each puff like "Kentucky windage" (rifle shooting). I don't always puff like this, but I find this cadence works well for lighter blends and burley-based stuff. The triple puffs kind of stack up on each other. Though it's actually one puff or draw, just a sip, half-blow, sip, half-blow, sip, hold, full blow kind of thing. I dunno how to describe it better than that.
