Notes:
I cube cut my last flake of a sample I received from a BOTL, and loaded as much as possible into one of my cobs.

Initial light and first few minutes were strong with the scent of flowery soap. Still not a fan, but I pushed through it.

After a bit of time, something interesting happened. The soap faded to the back, and a pleasant sweetness came forward. I can’t really place the flavors, but enjoyed it. I think there was a hint of the whiskey, but I’m not positive.
This tobacco has a thick, rich mouthfeel.
I did not get any chocolate flavors, but the flowery soap briefly popped in every once and a while. It was muted, but there.

I did notice the burleys scratching at my throat. Burley does not fully agree with me, but this one was pretty good; worth the mild burley scratch.

I may need to get a little to store.
