Just got a tin of Sweet and Smoky from Hearth and Home. Lights and burns very easily. Quite tasty. The nicotine level doesn't seem to bother me. (I'm very sensitive to the ole nic). I like Latakia but some lat heavy mixtures leave a very unpleasant after taste. This one doesn't for me. Need to jar some of this since I will be smoking more of it in the future. Glad I tried it !
