Opened the tin and saw that pretty little plug wrapped in plastic..... seems almost a shame to cut it...... but I did lol. Sliced some off with a razor blade and rubbed it out. I let it sit for about a half hour before smoking. Right away the taste was awesome..... earthy Virginias with a fruity, tropical top not that was understated and complimented rather than coveres up the Va's. Smoked cool all the way down (I'm a puffer too) leaving almost no dottle. The room note is fantastic too. The only warning I would give is that this is a strong nic-hitter.... probably not good for working outside, etc. This one's going in the regular rotation.
