I saw someone's review of this blend and it inspired me to share my own experience. When I compose reviews on a tobacco I take many things into account: company, age, cut, etc, but tin and smoke notes are what I really focus on.
.
This blend by The Country Squire came pretty moist, which I'm not opposed to. I'd rather get wet tobacco and dry it myself than recieve a bag of lifeless pencil shavings. The tin note (bag note in this case) gave me mesquite, cocoa, and black coffee mainly. The smoke is peaty with mesquite undertones, likely from the added Kentucky dark fired. Med to full body with low sweetness but just enough. Black coffee, baker's chocolate, spices. The bowl matures creamy, nearly mocha-like, by this point nearly all of the sweetness has morphed to from fresh to burnt sugar profile, if still present. Velvety and deep finish. I ordered 4oz off rip to split between use and cellar. Since they're house blended they come in bags so I mason jar them right away. Cheers
