Mixture A is the only sample I've tried besides the 2 custom blends Pete made for me.

First, let me say that I only ever tried 1 cigarette probably 30 years ago so I don't remember much of what they tasted like... I seem to remember a rather acrid flavor along with the taste of burning paper. This tobacco didn't taste like that.

I won't say I was blown away by it or anything but it didn't seem all that bad to me. I've only had 1 bowl of it - and a small one at that - but my initial impressions were that it was pretty sweet up front with a nutty characteristic. As the bowl burned down, it began to remind me of that smell you pick up when you crack open roasted almonds - not that of the almond itself but of the cracking shell. I'll have a few more tries at it here in the near future.

Taking it a bit slow and alternating between the two customs. A report will be forthcoming.
