The 4th Generation line release has a variety of blends. I received the 1931 Eric Peter’s Blend, some of the others seemed more appealing to me, but a gift is a gift. This also lets me see what’s new out the gates. Well they are perfect cut flake, with a marbling of tans cross in waves. I cut it into small cubes to get a tin note, as it came in a plastic sample bag. The aromatic stood out, other than some hay from the burley the Virginia was absent. A dry flake it just needed a few minutes to be ready for the bowl.
Char lite let go some aromatic fruitiness maybe even some honey it’s hard to tell as the Cavendish quickly burned. The true lite had the VA stands up right away, they burley providing a bit of hay back ground. This burns hot so sipping is a must. By the half bowl the burley had taken over and it stays there. It smokes slowly and you get a hint of sweetness appear every once in a while from a basic good tasting classic burly. The bowl remained consistent through to the end with no relights to a salt and pepper ash.
This is foremost a burly tobacco blend, little hints of VA, and other then the first lite which seemed to burn off the Cavendish. Being more of a VA/Vaper smoker this isn’t what I’d buy, but if you like a good burly then this is one.
