After only smoking Orlik Golden Slice to get the hang of pipe smoking I finally felt comfortable enough to open the second can I have ever bought Plum Pudding. The smell of the freshly open tin was kinda sweet and kinda sour completely different from the Golden slice. The taste in a word is delicious. I wont claim to be able to taste the different tobaccos in this blend i'm too new to this for that but this was an eye opener. It's fantastic.
