Observations
Examination (how it looked, felt and smelled). This came like the other cake cut strips fused by vaccum into one chunk. It was much coarser and variegated with a larger amount of lighter yellow bits. It was pretty dry already so it was not prepped in the warming tin. It had a light smell of cocoa.
Preparation (how did you prepare and pack it). I peeled a strip off the chunk and rubbed it out into a fluffy pile. It was packed in the Frank method.
Burn: It lit easily, char, tamp, relight. The burn was nice and slow with no relights other than after tamping.
Flavor: The first draws where a tad harsh after which it settled into a sweet hay flavor, very full in body with a rich tobacco flavor to the end.

Comments and conclusion: I wouldn't kick down the door of your cellar for this. Lots of cake and plug out there just like this to smoke. I had to sip this slowly to keep it mellow and my style is more like the little train that could. Lots of big puffing for big clouds of rich smoke that I could not get from this gentlemans blend.
