What a great blend. I am slowly but surely trying to work myself off a 27 year cigarette binge and this offering from Mr. Pease is certainly helping. A medium to fat ribbon of Blonde, Red, Brown and the occasional speck of black. Tin note is mild tobacco and dried fruit. With a touch of vinegar. This one works exceptionally well as my morning wake up smoke. Bright and spicy (push the charring light through your nose if you need to wake up in a hurry!) with a little VA sweetness and moderate nic strength. There are flavors here I've never experienced in tobacco before, olives, florals, inscense. Delicious!
