I opened Hal o the Wynd first. Not much fragrance to it and seemed kinda bland at first, but when I got a bit more than halfway through the bowl it changed like some cigars do. It seemed to get stronger, not taste wise, maybe nicotine wise? I can't exactly explain what the last bit tasted like to me, it smelled kinda like Playdoh or that is what it reminded me of, kinda a salty taste.
