An over due review.
My sample was vacuum sealed. It was almost like a slice. Very
! Two bowls worth.
Both smoked in brylon.
Tin note is chocolate and cinnamon. The second bowl the tobacco was dryer and the chocolate and cinnamon was very prominent. Really nice.
The smoke. As was stated earlier, there is no tumeric or curry or coriander here. The chocolate didn't translate either. That said, I enjoyed it, for the same reason I like Middleton Cherry Blend. Baking spices. This is actually more pronounced in this area, but minus the burley oc the MCB. I got cinnamon and nutmeg, which do fit the the tobacco's name here. There is a general sweetness, again not chocolate but not overly vanilla either. It's not an oatmeal cookie thing, more like putting tumeric and cinnamon and nutmeg on savory foods, which is great by the way! Add some black pepper... Chef's kiss! Which brings me to the black pepper, which shows up in the retro hale. Nice.
It's a gooper for sure, with plenty of dottle, but it was easy to light and stayed lit for me during both smokes. Disclaimer, I use the signal fire lighting technique
Conclusion, I'm glad I got to try it. Thank you @kschatey , I appreciate your generosity! I won't buy it, but I'm glad I tried it and I wouldn't say no if someone offered me a bowl. I think aro fans will dig it.
As a side note, I really had to pay attention to figure this out, which was a good exercise for me. Not something I'm used to doing.
! Two bowls worth.
