It's a very smooth smoke even in a freshly opened tin. The hazelnut isn't overpowering and more of a flavor profile than something tangible. It's also sneakily more potent than I was expecting.

This blend, much like President William Howard Taft, is especially rounded. Still, could've done with less hazelnut.

Tin note of syrup, grassy, and spices. Tobacco is a flake of a marbled yellowish tan, light brown and brown. Moisture content is great. Rubs out with a little effort. Burns slow with a few extra relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild to medium. Flavoring is mild to medium, with notes of hazelnut that remains in the background after initial light but seems to "flare up" at times. Taste is medium and mostly consistent, with notes of semi-sweet nuts, spices, lemon grass, floral, sugar, zesty citrus, bready, creamy, rich, musty dry hay, wood, savory, herbal, earthy, mildly acidic, mildly spicy, sourness, a semi-sweet nuts and tart dark fruity background note, and a peppery retro. Virginias are leading with Oriental/Turkish and Flavoring supporting. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More

The blend not only smells great but it also taste pretty darn good too. Keeps getting better as you smoke down the bowl. No bite and excellent taste.

Its a decent blend of Virginia tobacco and Turkish, the tin note was a fig newtons and the flakes were ready out of the tin. I wouldn't say it was a special blend, just expertly blended for what it is and do think with a bit of age this will be sublime . That said I am not impressed with the extra price for a 2 oz tin, the packing was just a paper box, they could have nixed that and dropped the price a few dollars, food for thought.
If you enjoy VA/Oriental try it out its worth it, but not something id cellar deep unless you caught it on sale or something. 3.75/4...Read More
Wonderful smoke, be careful

This one was pleasant with only the faintest hint of hazelnut. The nic hit is sneaky and a bit delayed but this tobacco is delicious.

Tin notes of cocoa, lemon peel, and hazelnut.
I'm a sucker for Virginia Oriental blends, but does anyone else think this is similar to the Dunhill 3 year old ?
Slightly sweet nuts,flowers, sugar, fresh citrus, bread, savory, sour, slightly sweet nuts and tart notes. The Virginia flavor is dominant, with the Oriental/Turkish notes and flavorings supporting it....Read More

No bite or rough edges. Notes of plum, dark fruit, grass, slow puffs with retrohale bring forth mild custard notes, sweet and cedar undertones with a mild spice content. Not an everyday smoke because the nuances demand careful attention.

I find this blend to be quite nice. Flavorful full and no bite. Well worth the price and I plan to order a few more as the aging potential is high but it is great right out of the tin.

Not great though. I can't help but feeling that the casing or topping isn't helping. It's borderline aromatic. I think I'd like it better without.
