Mac Baren Plumcake
Tin Aroma: Latakia with a sweet rum and slight saltiness.
Smoked two bowls, one that was right of out tin and one that was left out for 45 mins before smoking. Lots of tongue bite right out of the tin, Little to no tongue bite on the bowl that was "dried out" for 45 mins.
Smoke Aroma: burning tobacco with a slight sweet smokiness.
Flavors: prominent latakia mixed with a sweet virginia tobacco flavor. A bit of spice and slight sweetness from the rum casing which tastes more like fruit than rum. A nice perique sweetness/fruityness weaves in an out, yet this blend has no perique.
Thick smokey finish in the mouth.
Slight gurgle halfway through the bowl.
Flavor remains much the same throughout the rest of the bowl.
Overall score: 8/10 - Not bad! Very different sort of blend!
