I was between a rock and a hard place so I decided to go to a local tobacco shop and buy some "cheap" costing tobacco to tide me over until my shipment came. I'm not a big fan of Captain Black so I picked up some Tin Star Gold. Fist of all, I should have known that this was crap seeing how it was buy one get one free already prepacked. I still took a chance because I try not to judge a book by it's cover, plus I like to take risks.
I get home and open the package and the tobacco was a dry as my skin if I forget to hit it with some oil after I shower. . .LOL! :rofl: If I can recall there wasn't any type of aroma at all and the look of the tobacco seemed like it was old leaves that was rubbed out and put in the pouch. When I packed it and lit it in my cob it tasted like I was smoking cigarette ash from an ashtray. It made my tongue throb and it sat in my throat making it feel scratchy. No taste, no personality and no flavor what so ever. It burns so fast that after two or three draws it was at the end of the bowl. Which that was a good thing seeing how horrible it tasted. The next day I tried a second bowl to see if I was being too judgmental, but I relived my horror all over again. 8O The only good thing I can say about this tobacco is that it had a nice resealable pouch to keep it from spilling out. Not going to say "keep it fresh" because that would be an understatement.
I have learned my lesson that you really do get what you pay for. Call me a snob, but I just can't do any OTC brands. Until next time. . .Happy Smoking my Family! :
