The tobacco has a pleasant taste and aroma of dark fruits. Unfortunately, it is not without some drawbacks, such as excessive moisture and tongue bite.

For me, this is below average (*Updated*)

ld enjoy; despite its current 3.3★ rating. And also, for the two year old Jan. '24 date on my 100g tin. OK...so here's my first bowl review; I immediately detect tart citrus and subtle sweetness. Only the tartness becomes a bit annoying with the overwhelming feeling of dry-mouth; to the point of some puckering occurring. Then there's its noticeable "bite" and "sting"...forcing "sipping only" when smoking this. And still its bite is unbearable. Some of the enjoyment of piping is in the figuring out how to best enjoy each blend. But, and then, you get to enjoy it afterward. This one requires the work but then is not enjoyable, nor rewarding. I'll try this in a Churchwarden and update, this review, if deserved. But for right now, it falls a bit below "average" for me. Next up, from Rattray's, will be the 3.8★ (second lowest rated of the fourteen I have): "No. 7 Reserve." (*Update*)...yeah, no improvement with this in Churchwardens. Also, it was not good in long Cob-pipes nor "clays." So I dropped it from 2.5★ to 2.0★ and I'll continue to revisit this from time-to-time....Read More

I thought it would be a wonderful experience, but in fact, there was only a faint fragrance in the whole process, and I didn't taste any sweetness or other flavors. I will try other brands and varieties of tobacco, and I will not buy this one in the future.

I should preface this by saying that the Flake I tried was half as old as I am, but damn! Maple sugar complexity and stayed lit like a champ.
