Brothers In Arms is a great album. Released in May 1985, it featured 5 singles and was Dire Straits best selling album with well over 30 million albums sold. It was a UK No. 1 album for 14 weeks and was Top Ten on the Billboard charts. It also won multiple awards including a Grammy. It features two of the best tracks from the 80's with "Money For Nothing" and "Walk of Life." It contains some of Mark Knopfler's best guitar work. How can anyone not like this album... oh wait you're talking about tobacco. Never mind, carry on...

I was really surprised by this blend. I generally prefer burley forward blends and this sounded promising. It’s very bold, dark and rich. The dark fired is of course very prominent but I also get a hint of the oriental and perique, with a spicy and peppery secondary flavor. There is an underlying bit of sweetness as well. To me there seems to be a lot going on, definitely a more complex blend. It’s ready to go right out of the tin and burns well. The nicotine seems med-high and so far it’s been a wonderful evening smoke. I’ve ordered five more tins and it’s very quickly becoming one of my new favorites.
