New tobacco to try!

[xoibsurferx]

I just picked up a 1oz bag of "midnight" its really dark in color from Union Cigar to try it out. It's almost black in color but personally it smells great to me but I know they all taste different than they smell.
I haven't tried it yet but I only spent about $4.00 on it so it won't be a huge loss if I don't like it.
It seems to be kind of a wet tobacco but the guy said it'll keep it from burning so hot and I'll be much happier smoking it than Prince Albert cherry/vanilla, or captain black. So I'm excited to try it!
Just thought I'd share.

Sounds like a black Cavendish toby to me. As for it being real wet, I bet it's loaded with PG, and if you don't let it dry a bit before smoking, it'll bite you like a mad dog. Wet toby + fire = steam, steam will cause tongue bite. YMMV though.

Thanks for letting me know if its too wet it'll cause tongue bite. It probably is a black cavendish.
I'll let it dry out for sure so it won't burn too hot. They had a wild cherry I really wanted to try but the guy said it burns really hot unless blended with something else.
Any clarification on that? I'll let you know how I like the new stuff I got!
I don't mean to sound like an idiot but whats PG and YMMV?

Well the freaking guy told you that your wet tobacco won't burning hot. Common sense says, "ya duh, wet stuff doesn't burn." but if you try to keep wet things lit it'll cook your tongue with steam.
So... Get the cherry stuff and decide for yourself; he doesn't seem to be a great deal of help so far.

Sorry I didn't specify. PG, propylene glycol is used as a humicant/preservative in some tobacco blends, some more than others. YMMV= Your Mileage May Vary. Hope that clears that up. :D And no, I don't think you sound like an idiot, I just assumed you would know what I meant, my bad!

Ill just have to try it and see. Ill definitely let it dry out some.
How does black cavendish taste? I read its a pleasant tobacco to smoke.

It all depends on what kind of casings (flavorings) it has added to it.
