Reviews
The flavors are straight-forward, coherent, and consistent. In the mouth, I get sweet, woody notes, some cinnamon cornbread, unsweet vanilla, and some delicious dark fruits. On retrohale, the spice of the perique becomes more available, but is still moderate: ginger, cardamom, and clove. I like it all together, but retrohale this less often than some other blends. This tobacco burns hotter in the bowl, but it rewards regular tamping and patient sipping with delcious, voluminous plumes.
