I never tried it either... and I don't care much for Trout Stream so if it was similar, no loss IMO. Trout Stream seems like one of those tobaccos you smoke for the enjoyment of bystanders; smells wonderful, doesn't taste like much. No nicotine either if that's your thing. I have a few ounces I've been neglecting - maybe I'll have to try and spice it up / fill it out with a coin of Sweet Rum Twist. I bet they'd go good together. [/rambling]
