This review is based off a one bowl sample.
The ribbons are lightly moist, but do not need to dry. It lit easily and burned at a moderate pace.
Upon lighting, I get a sense of sweetness (presumably from the Virginias). Within minutes, the Orientals take the lead. They are woody, sour and mildly spicy. There’s some smokiness that lingers in the background. At times, the tobaccos meld together and I get a pleasant, smooth, velvety sweetness. Towards the end of the bowl, the orientals intensify and I get a strong cumin taste.
It smokes cool, but does have some harsh notes. This is a mild bodied blend with a light amount of nicotine.
If you favor Oriental/English blends, you will enjoy this.
