The weirdest of the twists but extremely good.

I have a few of the 500g packs of this some of which are the old full uncut twists that come in a bag, and some newer ones in the sealed plastic tub. When smoked the older stuff (about ten years old) it almost had a tomatoish flavour and the new one reminded me a lot of cherry twist. The toppings can completely change the whole nature of how these ropes smoke. It was definitely topped but when I first lit it, it had no whisky taste at all, and I was going to rate it taste wise as having no detectable topping other than being a little bit sweet. As I burned through the first third of the bowl the topping suddely was very present. I was not expecting that at all. It smelled much better in the room note tha the regular brown irish X also. It is slightly more dense, and has a definite sweetness. Towards the end of the bowl the topping was again undetectable but but it did not taste like the bowl was burning down as it does in the other ropes, it still tasted like a freshly lit bowl. This is magnitudes better than the older stuff and with age I can only imagine will get even better. This has the effect of the topping increasing the felt nicotine (which is quite strong) like the cherry twist which either was a stronger few leaves from the top of the plant or, more likely, the topping prevents some of the nicotine from being burned off. The smell to others is quite a bit more pleasant than the regular but still a bit strong. This is an easy smooth smoke and I could taste the oak or maple sugars quite strongly - I think the topping is an extract or flavouring more than just being doused in actual whisky. The change in taste working down the bowl is very strange and I haven't smoked anything quite like this. Definitely a 5 star twist and one that I would definitely recommend....Read More

I bought a pound of this tobacco a few years back and just popped the jar to give it a try. I used a cigar cutter to cut thin slices and then rubbed it out. After letting it dry for about 30 minutes I lit it up. This tobacco is amazing. It has a sweetness that is subtle and a nice strength to it. I smoked the bowl packed almost to the top down to ash not wanting it to end. Someone else mentioned bite from this tobacco but I experienced none whatsoever....Read More

Tastes good to chew though. It's a quick nic fix if that's your thing.
Slice Thinly.

I have found that if you slice this as thin as possible (akin to a shag cut when rubbed out) I am able to keep this lit a little better. I let it dry out for 30 minutes and do the gravity method for packing the pipe. This is a strong tobacco no doubt. The whisky is there but isn't over powering. It's a dark tobacco with a heavy mouthfeel but there is sweetness lingering about. Certainly one of my favorites....Read More
