First time trying, after reading mixed reviews online. Most of the naysayers seemed to have reviewed many years ago on tobaccoreviews.com and I must say, for me it was an entirely enjoyable, caramel cream- smoke on the porch on a quiet night great experience.
The tin was packed in July 2019, and staining was evident on the packing paper. Tin note was pleasant but more muted than I personally expected. The taste was consistent and straight forward throughout the bowl of a caramel cream with cool smoke. Even pushing the pace towards the bottom, no bite was noted. I had dried the tobacco a few hours before smoking and there was no gurgle or excessive wetness in the pipe. Everything burned well to a gray dottle with one relight.
Hope your experience is as positive as mine.
