The licorice just adds a sweetness. Rich, dark, deep virginia. Let it age and it gets covered in a white powder. Not cocaine, it's SUGAR!

the characteristic treacle. The licorice is rather subtle. I dry my aros out extensively and for Blackpool it took about 45 minute to an hour or until it becomes more brown than black.

It can burn a little hit if you aren't careful but I didn't have any tongue bite. Definitely an enjoyable middle of the road smoking experience that is in my estimation aimed more at lovers of stoved Virginia and aromatic smokers. Personally I find it similar to kingsbridge and I prefer kingsbridge a little more. Read Less

I really don't have the words . Blackpool is as good as it gets ! Don't let the licorice throw you off as it's not a Licorice aromatic but just a slight top note . Exquisite is the only word that comes to mind .
I've got my tastes backwards perhaps.

I'm one of the few who prefers Ramsgate, as I find this to be a great smoke, but missing Ramsgate's punch of flavor. I pick up marzipan more than licorice, but there's an occassional whiff of it. The tobacco can frustrate you if you don't let it do s... Read More
ome severe drying first. Don't even bother with it fresh out of the bag. Nonetheless, the taste it great. Read Less
