I was fortunate to recieve this tobacco as a gift in the Pipe Tobacco PIF a while back - as with all other gifts, it pleases me to enoy because it affords me the chance to think of the wonderful people who have been a part of my life(Thanks Dave!!!), but it is also a pretty good aromatic if you areinto that kinda thing.
The Cube does indeed need a fair bit of drying out - I might even go so far as to advise packing the pipe the morning or evn evening before you plan to smoke it - if it gets a bit too dry you can always breathe a little bit of moisture onto the top of the pipe to get it to where it will smoulder well. It definately will let you know if it is too damp though... ouch!!!
I have found this is a good tobacco to smoke in those pre-carbonized bowls, or pipes with a very neutral taste. I smoke it in a fairly well broken in Boswell. It is a pretty good tobacco, give it another try just let it dry out a fair amount.
Good Luck!
