Impressions on Kelly's Coin?

[--dante--]

I just placed an order for several tins of Kelly's Coin. It seemed to fit my primary rotation bill, namely a simple, strong burley. While I wait, I welcome anyone's impressions on it, positive or negative. Happy smokes all!

I love the stuff, pure strong Burley bliss. Can get harsh or bitter if you puff too hard, but otherwise rich nutty earthy flavor with a vitamin N kick.

Having received it, I agree wholeheartedly. Strengthwise, it's up there with Picayne and Five Brothers, but much more enjoyable,

Would y’all say it’s stronger than Old Joe Krantz?

Maybe a bit, definitely tastes better to me. I found OJK to be harsh.

Interesting, the one time I tried Five Brothers I found it to be mild-medium at best.

It seems a bit stronger than OJK to me. It's like a stronger OJK without the perique/spiciness.

It's generally considered to be pretty strong, but I think the nic hit is lower just because it's pretty much gone a few minutes after you light it up (being a dry shag).
