Even though this tobacco seems to be ready to smoke right out of the tin, I put a bowl full on a napkin for about an hour to dry as I'm apt to do with most any tobacco. I rubbed it out slightly and loaded it into a relatively tall Northern Briar with thick walls. The tobacco packed quite easily.
Required a couple of charring lights and one true light. Started out a little rough around the edges. It quickly transformed into a vey pleasant smoke with the Kentucky most prevalent. The other tobaccos were present though. This pretty much stayed the same during the first half of the bowl. About half way, the red Virginia began to caramelize and take over. Happily, the Kentucky and light leaf remained in the background so this wasn't just s sugar cube.
This blend smoked easily and very cool. I didn't find this blend to be overly strong and the nicotine hit was no more than moderate. Bottom line, I give this blend 4 1/2 out of 5 stars. This is a tobacco I will buy more of, extra to cellar and age.
