Pouch produced for Butera Pipe Co vs Arango Cigar Co. Package note of dark fruit and cooked vegetation. Tobacco is a Ready Rubbed of black with white crystals or powder. Moisture content is great. No drying/prep needed. Burns slow with a few relights. The strength is mild to medium and nic is mild. Flavoring is mild to medium, with notes of licorice. I'm leaning in the direction of licorice due the sourness, bitterness and sweetness. Flavoring seems to run fairly constant. Taste is medium and very consistent, with notes of bread, tangy sweet dark fruit, licorice, sugar, savory, fermented sour, woody, herbal floral hay, earthy, lemon grassy, orange peel bitterness, a spices and tart citrus background note, and a peppery retro. Virginia is leading with Flavoring supporting. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is good....Read More
