Upon opening the tin you are greeted with dark brown bordering on black 1 inch wide strips of flake. The tobacco is moist and very pungent. It smells of figs, honey and other dried fruits. I break up the flakes with my fingers into small chunks and let it dry out for a couple of hours to get the correct burn. Once lit the flavors just come screaming out. It is sweet and spicy from the generous amount of perique. If you are worried that it has the Lakeland essence do not, it has none. It just gets sweeter and fuller the more you smoke and the nose from the perique is wonderful. This stuff never bites, the only worry you might have is that it tastes so good, you might find yourself heating up your bowl from smoking it too hard. This blend is every bit as good as my beloved Escudo and when it can be found, you can buy it buy the pound. If you are a Vaper fan, this is a must try.
