I just got in a large shipment of overseas blends and "Take Five" was one of them. Smoking a bowl of it right now and it's blowing my socks off. Reminds me a lot of SG Celtic Talisman. I'm wondering what is used to case it? I know Celtic Talisman uses Kirsch, a German cherry liqour, to get it's cherry flavour, and I'm thinking that "Take Five" does the same. It also has some slightly different flavours from Celtic Talisman as well so I think there might be something else in there. Any info helps. Thanks a lot

Here's my review: The very citrusy, mildly grassy, sugary Virginia honeydew also has a touch of honey as the base of the blend. The other Virginias offer some ripe dark fruit, a touch of stewed fruit, earth, wood and a small spice note. The unsweetened black cavendish is slightly toasty with some brown sugar in a condimental role. The nutty, woody, earthy, lightly floral white burley adds depth and body as a secondary player. The tangy lemon topping takes a little of the lead over the spicy clove and floral rose oil. The cherry and honey are in the background, but all the toppings work seamlessly together, and tone down the tobaccos to a medium extent. They slightly weaken in the last third of the bowl, but you’ll always notice the power of the tobaccos. The strength is almost medium, while the taste does reach the medium mark. The nic-hit is mild to medium. No chance of bite or harshness. Well balanced, it burns cool, clean and a little slow as some broken flake is in the mix. The deep, rich, sweet flavor is fairly consistent with a touch of floral savoriness, which translates to the lingering after taste. Leaves little moisture in the bowl, and requires some relights. Can be an all day smoke for the veteran aro smoker.

Thank you very much. My bad for not thoroughly reading the review. I only saw that you reviewed it. I saw what the flavouring was listed on tobaccoreviews, but my question is more about what products they used to give the tobacco it's flavour. I guess it's something that only the blender really knows.

I just got in a large shipment of overseas blends and "Take Five" was one of them. I really wish we could get Hu tobacco's in the US. I bought a tin of Dockworker Flake a while back, when I was in Germany for work, and I burned through it so fast.
