I just opened my 1st tin of Sunset Breeze and found it to bite a bit and also fairly bland in my 1st couple bowls. I am currently leaving the tin open in my den to try to dry it a bit to see if this will help.

Any other Sunset smokers that can let me know their take on this tobacco? I guess I expected a bit more from this tobacco than what I experienced from it so far.

I found it much better once dried. I didn't have any bit issues, but I smoke it in my brighams so that may help.

It wasn't all I expected either, no bite for me, but I found it burned hot and somewhat unevenly. I wasn't horrible, but I doubt I'll ever buy a tin again.

I ordered a few tins based upon some recommendations and I find it very average and nothing special. It doesnt suck per se but nothing special compared to my Hobits Weed or Boswells aros.

I'm not big on arose, which is probably why I love this tobacco. I find it to be delicious. It has just the right amount of topping to still taste like tobacco, and yet surprisingly fruity. I even like mixing it with Virginia flakes.

I just finished up a small bowl in my Brog #14 churchwarden after letting it dry a bit. Much better but I agree with zonomo

AI found the last 1/3 of the tin the best, dried out and let it sit a mason jar for about a month. Bought another after that, letting it sit for a while before even attempting. Will keep buying for sure.....

05, Sunset Breeze is the little brother of Conoisseur's Choice. Very mild, but tasty, smells pretty good. I prefer Conoisseur's over Sunset any day.

I was given a sample of this ages ago amd it was amazing ... no bite , burnt well and intense flavors ut I did get vanilla for some reason .... I ordered 2 tins and popped 1 straight away ... it was good but not as nice as the sample amd the flavours were different more fruity and that amaretto. Turns out the sample was aged ... so the 2nd tin is sitting in my cupboard mellowing . Straight out the tin it was a nice smoke but not as good as some that had dried and mellowed.

hfearly, Who makes Conoisseur's Choice. I did a quick couple searches on Tobacco reviews, P&C & 4noggins and didn't find it.

Peterson makes the Connoisseurs choice, and I would agree it is much better than Sunset Breeze. It was my first tobacco and it looks beautiful in the tin with the broken flake and other leaf and has a lovely smell to it. Sunset breeze burnt hot and had a very generic flavor, will not buy it again.

I may be lucky in that the tins I bought were 4years old, so when I popped the first I guess the age helped it a lot

Sunset breeze did have a bite when I smoked my first bowl of it, but once I let some dry out for about 40-45mins by a window in the afternoon it smoked even better and stayed well lit. Let it dry abit grab some tobacco and lightly pinch it with two fingers, if some of the tobacco stays stuck on your fingers it's still moist.
