Strange in a VERY good way

ay, this is a very pleasant smoke. Don't be intimidated by the first whiff, even if you're a regular aromatic smoker. The tobacco is obviously very good quality. In the 4 oz bag I ordered, while it is a ribbon cut, there are some beautiful thick chunks of almost flake. Despite it being an English, I find the room note very delicious.
This is no vanilla, fruity flavor smoke. (Although there's nothing wrong with them, and like those myself as well. Life is too short not to smoke whatever you enjoy.)
This is something unique, and special. Upon light, I was worried that pungent smell would also be the taste, but every note of the Virginia, latakia, burley, and cigar leaf goes together like a sultry blues melody on a humid summer night.
I may be in New England, but a bowl of Billy Budd transports me to humid nights eating boiled peanuts bought by the roadside on my Grandads porch in deep Georgia in July.
Nic is strong - as someone that usually tried to smoke lighter blends, this was apparent fast. But honestly, do yourself a favor, even if you're strictly an aromatic lover, and give this one a shot. It's different from everything - and that's why it's fantastic....Read More

I was influenced to try this blend by the 5/5 Room Note assigned by SmokingPipes. I was not disappointed, and I'm sure I will be enjoying this blend from now on.
