To me this a mild aromatic that is a burley forward tobacco, but with several flavor layers.
Tin note is nutty, a little sweet and touch of spice. My batch was good in moisture and not too dry as others have experienced.
The taste is a nutty burley, a hint of brightness from the Virginias and the subtle topping of cinnamon was noticeable. The cavendish is also there and maybe that's what is bringing out the honey type sweetness.
I am not a fan of cinnamon, however, I find it is not overpowering or off putting at all. It certainly adds to the layers of flavors from initial light to finish.
The nicotine level is mild to me.
The cut is an odd course cut. The batch I received had a lot of clumps that needed to be broken up/rubbed out.
Packing is ok, I pack it similar to a broken flake with it being a thick, clumpy course cut.
It lights easy, burns cool, but for me it requires more than the normal amount relights, which could be because of my packing technique.
Never experienced tongue bite, even when smoking the pipe hot to the touch.
I have found it smokes and tastes best in a cob.
Prior to the re-release I only had one bowl to sample, but in talking with those who smoked this blend when previously available, it is exactly the same with the difference being, it is now only sold in bulk and not in tubs.
Could be an all day smoke.
I put this in the "cellar it" category. Hopefully it is a blend that will be continue to be available, but I cellared some "just in case".
