I have smoked it. If you like cloves you will like this. The clove topping is quite obvious when you poke your nose in the pouch. Iwan Ries calls this a British Blend but I would call it more of an aromatic with barely a whiff of Latakia or Orientals. The cut is a rough shag with a few chunks of broken flake and large pieces of black cavendish spread evenly through the mix. It's a pretty good aromatic if you are tired of goopy vanilla and cherry flavored blends. Let it air out a bit and it is a nice blend for around the holidays. Digging through my stash I found some of this and I think I might just light some up to refresh my memory. :

They don't mention cloves in the description but they do refer to a "hint of exotic spice". :P @ uber: It doesn't ghost as much as one would think. I smoke it in a dedicated Aromatic pipe with little problem but it is probably ghosted with everything under the sun. For purests (not me by any means) it would probably warrant a dedicated pipe.
