Are you sure it's a topping and not just a melding of the very sweet Mac B. cavendish and the 10.000 or so different tobacco varieties in it?Most people tend to agree with you but personally I pick up on some big favor from the top dressing. This is not a bad thing in my opinion, it’s just the right amount of topping and it’s a very complex sauce at that. Totally one of a kind, it’s sweet and sour and somewhat floral. I love it!
