Tried this for the first time today. Drugstore brands, H&H marble cake and a couple of their VaPer blends did not prepare me for this.

The first shock was the tin fragrance. If you've ever had a cup of lapsang souchong this will take you back to that experience. Jackknife is a much more full flavored blend than I've had before and took some getting used to. Mostly it was a heavy earthy taste but I would occasionally get a puff of surprising sweetness. Almost like a good BBQ rub with just enough brown sugar. The taste developed and changed a great deal as the bowl burned down and by the time it finished my opinion had changed from "this thing is too much for me" to "I need to try this again".

No pipe tobacco in my limited experience has kept my attention so easily. Not a gardening tobacco but a sit down and pay attention tobacco.
