Fire Storm is a medium-full-strength blend of dark fired Kentucky, Perique, and Virginia, but for a blend that verges into full strength, it is easy going and mellow. I tend to want to change blends (or to single leaf) most every bowl, but this one keeps tugging at my sleeve and drawing me to another bowl. The Perique dances in and out. I don't find it building, just occasionally coming forward for a spicy zing then retreating a little. The whole blend has a kind of sweetness, without being aromatic or sugary. If you are ordering tobacco in the future, this is one to keep in mind. It comes fairly moist but lights right up and mostly keeps burning. I've tried it in conical bowls and big billiard bowls, and it seems to go well either way, given a big enough bowl to unfold its flavor. I don't often get stuck on one blend for three bowls, but Fire Storm has me, maybe four...five. Anyway, its in the rotation and may be gone before it gets jarred. The tin was a bit resistant, with me plying various coins and a screw driver or two before I popped the seal with an old fashioned bottle opener on a can opener, and the tin is worse for the wear. But boy, the reward!
