I'm surprised this tobacco doesnt get talked about more on this forum. A lot of people recommended this to me when I wanted a good lat bomb in bulk and this stuff fits the bill quite nicely. I threw a pound of this in with my Nording purchase and will be ordering at least a couple of more pounds of it. Broken flake, black and brown, the bag aroma is delicious, very smoky and earthy. The flakes are a little damp and need a good bit of dry time, and I rub this flake out more than I do most of my others. Very slow burning so you get a nice long smoke out of it. The flavor is nothing short of amazing. Very smoky out of the gate, almost meaty like burnt steak with just the right amount of sweetness, almost like a barbecue maple hickory cured flavor. Burns down to a powdery grey ash, nicotine content doesnt really seem all that high but Ive been smoking a lot of burley blends lately too so that may be a factor. If you like English and Latakia blends, this is almost what I would call "familiar", like good comfort food, something you always want to have when the mood strikes you. Very tasty and the retrohale smells wonderful, very full and something to be enjoyed after a big meal, perfect for sitting down with a good book or to smoke out on the deck and have a little quiet time.
