The smell coming out of the tin is exquisite. This stuff is sublime.

This tobacco is really excellent and I would put money on it being phenomenal with some age. Janus is a little sweet, floral, leathery, and musty. The tobacco truly does posses a unique-antique quality. Very well balanced and flavorful.
Patience & Slow Puffing for Nuanced Pleasure

It took me three tins to really get a sense for how to approach this blend. I found it quite bland after the first tin. My regular oriential smokes are Embacadero, Regent's Flake and Sunday Picnic, and Janus definitely has a different flavor profile... Read More
. After reading the JimInks review, I approached the second tin with a different approach - very measured and slowed puffing pace. I did not get all of the detailed notes that JimInks describes, but I certainly did begin to notice the floral notes of the Oriental with the slowed pace (for example, instead of puffing through a medium bowl in 30-40 minutes, I extended the smoke to an hour). I am enjoying the third tin much more, and I will be ordering more. If you like an Oriental blend where that leaf shines through, you will be disappointed with this at first, but a change of puffing pace and some patience will yield appreciation for this very subtly blended tobacco the delivers equal parts of each component in different phases of the bowl.

A little disappointing

When I opened the tin for the first time it had a strong urea smell, but when smoked it has a spicy pineapple, a good idea but poor execution of an oriental centered blend
