My first attempt at any sort of review and breakdown of a tobacco...
I guess I should have heeded the warning in the description on cupojoes.com describing it as "minty cool and delightfully refreshing." Not expecting quite that minty of a punch, I got it to try it out. I'm still struggling to figure out how well I like it. The first two bowls I had diminished their minty flavor early on, leaving a good, mildly sweet, mildly refreshing smoke. Now that I've had a third, with the mint chasing it all the way to the dottle, I'm liking it a little less. The first few draws are like sucking on an altoid, with a numbingly minty flavor. It kind of eases up a bit, but not enough for my taste. Undertones are sweet, and the room aroma is also very pleasantly sweet, without the hint of mint. I'd recommend for anyone who wants a minty aromatic.
