I've smoked a couple of bowls. I found it rich, syrupy sweet with the Red Va leading the way. I hated to say this but it is reminiscent of McClelland Va Flake. Quite good but a bitey. Let it dry a lot before smoking.

I didn't get the syrupy part you're finding, but the McClelland part I get. It has that red VA plus vinegar quality. And yes, bitey too. Dry it for sure.

Did yours come from a tin by any chance? From what I've read the tinned version has a much heavier wine note. I just got a one ounce sample in a plastic bag and much of that topping may have evaporated off, Could account for our different experience of the blend.

It was bulk. When I say syrupy, I mean the kind of molasses sweet flavors you can get from red and dark virginias. Not much citrus with the 150th.
