First I must say my new Nording is a dream, like I have been smoking it for years.
On to the tobacco: GP&T Raven has been around for years and I just never tried it before today.
The tin note is prunes with a hint of vanilla and undertone wood, a little sweet spice comes through but not sickly. Do not let the prune put you off, as later I will tell. The tobacco is a rough cut, loose and coarse, packs well and be careful not to pack too tight. Room note is a very slight vanilla and a wonderful fruit spice smell. The tongue note, ahh here is where this tobacco comes right through. The prune turns into a fruit cake but not so much that you want to stop. In fact you want to draw hard to get more of that splendid complex cake, fruit and caramel flavor. It is there with just a hint of just cut wood. Spicy, fruity, and very smooth. It did not bite me even though I would draw very hard wanting more of that fruit cake, which surprised me because this is a juicy smoke. Not so much of a nic kick so you could just keep refilling it all day.
In conclusion I am going to order a pound of this aromatic to smoke and cellar. I liked it that much. Highly recommended!
