Yes watch out for the heat and bite if you are used to better tobaccos especially if you are used to English blends as the fine ribbon cut Cavendish? S laden with topper will burn hot and wet. Captain Black White and Blue tobaccos are really the best OTC buy you can get . Smoked it all and I still come back to this smoke. Nothing satisfies like that Charleston blend. Product even arrived two days sooner than expected. Captain Black has been my choice of tobacco for about 30 years. The taste lightly reminds me of toasted marshmallows and has a nutty undercurrent. It's not cloying and the vanilla shines on the smooth retrohale. It's not a nuanced tobacco but it's very much acceptable. The ladies might like the scent and you may look debanaire smoking this, but it just doesn't jive with me. Upon light up I got an overbearing cherry sweet and stinging sensation on my tongue. The flavor was flat and tasted like smoked cardboard. Even after drying this lacked in appeal. If you're that desperate for a nic hit and are in a pinch, then I'd understand picking up a pouch of this. The pouch note and aroma are nice. Light and I would recommend it over the actual Light as it has some flavor key work is some. Now we get that famous CB room note in a stronger sense. Once again small moist black dottle and a more salt than pepper salt and pepper ash. Better than the Light but worse than all the other CB for me. I tried this one once on a whim, and was pleasantly surprised. You can get a foil pouch for under five bucks if you are a little strapped for cash, and it is altogether not a bad smoke.
