My first impression of this was actually regarding the texture of the blend. It's very supple- almost like down. It's moist enough that I sat it out to dry a bit, but it doesn't feel the slightest bit wet- very unique. The scent in the bag is sweet, slightly wooody, and very mellow. It reminds me of a couple older Partagas 898s I've had the chance to some across. I smoked it in a Old England (a Sasieni second) sitter. This had fairly strong notes of earthiness and leather, but I actually found a pleasant floral nuance in the retrohale. It was moderately robust, and at certain points verged on being bitter. I think this is much better suited as a condiment tobacco; perhaps finishing off a mix of Cavendish and some lemon Virginias. It burned very well, required hardly any relights, and left a curiously delicate ash in the bowl. Overall, very unique, but not something I would keep in rotation to smoke by itself.
