What did you think of it? I like PS 41 from time to time (never having been a big fan of burley) but I have to let it air a looong time or it smokes wet and bites. It doesn't seem like it but I think that blend is probably shipped very wet. Probably why it stays so nicely in cube form.

The tobacco is now where it belongs, in the garbage can, and I'm about to light a bowl of HOTW in a Savinelli De Luxe 637 KS smooth Rhodesian.

Good move. I recently tossed a tin of Solani 639, Tropical Mango Flake, after smoking one fill of the stuff.

Now happily puffing Solani 633, Virginia with Perique.

This was such a disappointment. I remember Sugar Barrel, which this is supposed to be a match for, as being a one dimensional but somewhat enjoyable change of pace occasional smoke, but this was easily the worst tobacco I've ever smoked. Just glad I didn't buy a whole tub.

I think it is a very enjoyable non-aromatic pipe tobacco. Needless to say, it has lots of true tobacco flavor and a moderate amount of nicotine. It reminds me of a blend from my early days of pipe-smoking, Edgeworth Ready-Rubbed. I really like the cube-cut format.
