This review is based on a recently purchased tin. I smoked approximately one ounce in various briars and cobs. The ribbons/broken flakes come very moist. I usually let them air dry for about an hour. The tin note is mouthwatering chocolate.
Upon lighting, my senses are hit with a delightful cornucopia of flavors. Leading the way is chocolate and cocoa. Just behind it is a sweet and sour bitter orange. I also sense lemon, nuts, wood and wet morning earth. It’s also spicy.
It smokes cool and burns at a moderate pace. It’s not harsh, even when puffed repetitively. The nicotine level is moderate, while the taste/body are a bit greater than medium.
Makhuwa is basically a sweet, sour and spicy pseudo-aromatic burley. In my opinion, a ‘true’ aromatic is a blend where the flavoring drowns out the tobacco. With Makhuwa, the topping and tobacco work in concert with each other. I’m not even sure there is a topping. This is by far one of my favorite HU blends.
