The fragrance from the freshly opened tin is sweet and sour and reminds of fruit tea, even if there was used absolutely no flavor. The tobacco seems a little dry, as it rustles in the tin; but for a blending tobacco this is rather an advantage since it is easier to mix with other tobaccos.

Light up:
Plugged attentively, the Black Cavendish English Type suffices a single flame and a gentle smoothing with the tamper, for an even embers.
