Comment:

No one can deny the fact that this tobacco has been one of the most popular tobaccos of its kind and that it is still highly sought after. It's one of very few industrial, flavored tobaccos that I don't mind smoking smoking occasionally; I actually enjoy smoking it when I do. The pouch aroma is pleasant but not indicate of heavy casing; I do detect a smell of vanilla besides the fruit essences used. It's very easy to pack and burns very smoothly. The taste when smoked is both sweet and spicy; however, it smokes a bit wet, unless you let it dry out a bit before packing. Like most flavored tobaccos, the taste seems to deteriorates the closer you get to the end of the smoke. The pouch seems to be very effective in keeping the tobacco in good condition even if you smoke only one bowlful a day (and maybe less).
