Smoked in a fairly new MM cob.
Tobacco is 4 or 5 months old, and has been sitting sealed up for most of that time.
The initial flavor reminded me strongly of Karo syrup (the clear one).
Soon after I tasted a solid flavor of Buttered popcorn Jelly Bellys.
The smoke is thick and creamy with a faint sharpness sitting on the edges.
After a short while, the flavor died down to a muted, buttery sweetness. I never really got a strong caramel flavor.
As the smoke progressed, an acidic tang started to build; not unlike the tang of a sharp virginia.
Next, the smoke got boring, with little flavor to hold interest. I kept wondering if the flavor was from the tobacco or from the cob.
I will say I never had a problem with it staying lit. Once I got it going, it stayed going.
All in all, not a bad smoke. I'm not partial to aros, and this one doesn't blow me away either.
