[SIZE=3]I noticed this cut was thicker than a lot of the others I’ve tried. I rubbed it our and smelled the citrus/ketchup aroma right off. I packed my Stanwell and spent about an hour herding the kids to bed before I got back to enjoying the pipe. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Pack:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]I nice Ozark thunderstorm was rolling in and I sat out on the back porch to share the view with my dog and some friendly mosquitoes…[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]I used the Frank method to pack this tobac. I noticed that when I rubbed out the flake that it was a bit dry. Not overtly dry. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Light and 1/3:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Soft and mild with a sweet taste, nice tangy/citrus flavor. I got a neat spicy and brine taste at the end of each puff.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]2/3:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Spicy and brine taste faded out. Still sweet taste, nice tangy/citrus flavor. Mild tobac. Nice room note.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]3/3:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Never really devolped any additional flavor. Pretty good overall. I think this is one you could smoke all day with no regrets. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]I’d give it 4/5 stars if you like mild tobacs. I’ll try it again if it crosses my path.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Thanks to Ultramag for the sample.[/SIZE]

That's some old stuff, there.
I'm glad it finally dried out. I found that it bit the living poo out of my tongue, so drying it out a good deal must have cured it of that problem. The flavor was always pretty nice.

Cool lookin tin it comes in as well.
I wish A&C Petersen made more blends for us to try over here in the states.
Wild to see how an open tin makes its rounds around the world for samples (gotta share the wealth).

I'll have to dig through my stash of samples and see if I have some of this...sounds like something I should try. Thanks for the review.

Only if you got it from Ultramag or myself, and I didn't give anyone a sample until I sent the tin to Chad. It's been discontinued/not available in the US for a while.
