I got this free from smokingpipes.com with the purchase of my Savinelli Silver 606. I have smoked this since a few times, in both briars and meers. Since I felt this is not very popular, I would put in a review.
Family: English Aromatic
Age of Tobacco: 36 months (Based on packing date on the tin)
The tin note, is very sweet and fruity. The ribbon cut is fairly moist, but easy to pack for a beginner. Initially tastes very sweet like an aromatic. I am fairly sure, that there is some topping added, but it does not overwhelm, like some other popular aromatics. Starts to develop its spicy English characteristics from the second half of the bowl, and by the last one third, the latakia/oriental characteristics become very profound, and tastes like a Balkan/English Mixture. Despite being moist, I did not have any issues in lighting. Requires some relights.
It is unlikely I would buy it again, but based on the my tasting profile, it may be liked by some member here.
