When I first smoked this, it didn't blow me away. Over the course of a year, however, I find myself regularly returning to it.

I could smoke this all day. I am looking forward to trying more Rattray's blends. So far they're all excellent.

A credit to the fabled name of Charles Rattray. Buy some!!...Read More
