A most carefully selected blend of the finest tobaccos spiced with burley and Oriental leaf. An even-burning yet satisfying smoke that is distinguished by soft, sweet undertones and a pleasing aroma.
I tried a pouch of this once when a big advertising campaign was launched in the early 90's in the UK and I'm afraid to say I really hated it.
It is fine cut, almost a shag and light tan in colour with specks of browns and black. It is an aromatic and boy what an aromatic, the flavour is best described as burning sugar and caused me terrible tounge bite, caused by the intense heat this tobacco generated. It also gave the pipe a strong burnt sugar flavouring which took ages to get out of the pipe afterwards.
But don't be swayed by me give it a go if you fancy hot burning aromatics, these aren't my thing so you may be more inclined towards it than me.
Not a strong blend. I acquired an old open pouch from my friend. I waited 3 weeks for suitable humidity. I think; thats not too bad to getting oriental and some aromatic taste same time.
