I am starting to expand my tobacco horizons and smoke other blends than my usual Frog blends, the few English blends I have and the stand-by aromatics I stocked up on to smoke when I was still working.
Saturday I took a leap and bought some Bulls-Eye Flake and fell in love with it!
My first impression from the bag was the aroma..a deep sweet smell...not an in your face sugary sweet smell but something that came to me after a few whiffs and lingered in my nose afterwards. Both my kids wanted to smell the tobacco in the bags and said it smelled like fig newton bars or a box or raisins which I must agree with.
First the coins rubbed out with ease and packed nicely in the bowl and after lighting I was treated to billows of wonderful smoke. The tobacco offered a deep sweetness that crept in after the first minute of smoking and stayed throughout the whole smoke. There it was again! That sweet taste of dried fruit...Figs? Prunes? Raisins? I am not sure which one it was or maybe it was all of them that made this such an enjoyable smoke. Not once did it bite my tongue or make my mouth feel like I ate a too hot slice of pizza and the roof of my mouth is melting from hot cheese. I smoked this blend outside in my MM Devil Anse cob while watching fireworks and found it to be a "thoughtful and relaxing" blend,one that should be smoked when I wish to relax while fishing or reading a book. One thing I noticed is the pouch aroma and taste of the tobacco while smoking it were quite the same; Smooth, deeply sweet, quite and refined.
I found this tobacco quite nice and will be buying more of it as soon as I place my next order!
