For me anyway there is a smell I get in the pouch note with perique sometimes that is almost like silage.

Pipes &Cigars review for Match Walnut
Feb 01, 2021
A bit more refined, but along the lines of S.Value English pouch. About as far English as I care for. Wife calls it "slim jim", so, room note is beef jerky basically. Tastes like smoking SWR with one single M&M melted in your mouth, downwind from someone burning fresh pine branches. It's actually quite good. It's been so long since I had Walnut I can't comment on similarity, although I know I didn't like it. like smoking cedar shavings. This MATCH seems to be sweeter, and more melded. I'll get more.

It's quite apparent that Danny or danny suffered severe brain stem damage while trying to open a book.
Ya gotta love crap like this!

Reviewing anything that has to do with taste and flavors is very subjective.
I dont really care what you taste, because I know what good tobacco tastes like.
Let me know if something is out of place, either good or bad.
Tell me about the moisture level.
Tell me if the VA used is too young or ashy, or any other issue thats not normal.
Tell me how it lights, does it stay lit?
Let me know if it tastes similar to another blend.
Hows the room note?
Is it quality tobacco?
Does it burn hot, or cold, or fast, or slow?
I realize all these things can be subjective too, but thats where you learn whos review to trust.
I want to taste good, well aged, well blended and quality tobacco.
I could not care less about leather, olives, turnips, woods, earth.......
