Cornell & Diehl - Seersucker 2oz
Good stuff
Really good stuff. Slightly & naturally sweet tasting tobacco. No topping. Nice amount of spiciness to it. You get a very obvious cigar taste to it almost immediately; & throughout the bowl. The cigar leaf tastes like that of a "natural" styled.-Not like that of a maduro or others. I imagine the sweetness that I taste comes from some Virginias. I can taste the Orientals as the spicy. Like someone here already said, this blend has layers to it. The flavors grew on me immensely by the 2nd day smoking it. Very cigar forward tasting without totally tasting like just a cigar. The tin I opened is from one or two years old.

Mac Baren - HH Rustica Ready Rubbed
1rst time with Rustica
I smoke Orientals, VaPers, English, DrkFKentucky, & aromatics(occasionally). They said it was REALLY STRONG...Doesn't taste OVERWHELMING..Don't get me wrong... It does have some KICK to it. It's smoother than I had thought it would be. But it's really got a GOOD earthy/campfire taste to it. Different to other blends. The Virginias & Burley definitely come through by the 2nd or 3rd puff of the bowl; without overpowering the Rustica's flavor..I originally ordered 2 ozs. After smoking, I ordered 8 ozs more... Nice to have around for something a little different.
