I finally got around to this on Sunday.

My first impression was a kick of dirt flavor. After a couple of minutes, the smoke mellowed out really well, slight taste of raisins. There was no tongue bite, which I was expecting as it looked like there is a good amount of Virgina tobacco, but it could be Oriental tobacco instead. Half way into the bowl this lightened up and continued to smooth out. This tobacco did not burn hot for me, but it burned rather quickly, before I knew it, I was done.

It took me a bit to get into this tobacco, it could have been the pipe I was using, I have been smoking mostly McClelland's Dark Star and a different high latakia blend through that pipe recently. I am going to try it in a different pipe for the rest of the tobacco. I am guessing my results will be better.

Thank you Yellowgoat for the tobacco.
