When baronsamedi let everyone know about the sale on 8 oz tins of H&H BLENDS, I bought some Obsidian, among others. I've smoked a couple bowls now and can say this :
- appearance : all black (of course) pieces of various sizes a tobacco, some look like broken flake
- tin note : sweet but almost ketchupy like a very mild version of a McClelland blend that smells like that
- smokes very mild but the perique kicks in once and awhile - quite nicely but I like perique so...
- nice billowy smoke and no bite but I smoke very gently
I like it but it is not the tobacco I reach for first. Hope this helps, morton
