Shag cut.Fairly moist, there are some clumps but mostly loose.
In the pouch I pick up the aroma of alfalfa, a sweet pleasant
odor, refreshing.The colors are dark and medium brown.I would be
Lying if I said I could pick out the individual tobacco types,so
I wont try.I'll just say this smells natural and clean.I packed my
bowl using the 3 step method and let it rest for about an hour.

The tobacco lit up easily and burned smoothly without having to
tamp.The ash was a light grey and didn't interfear with the burn.
I didn't have any real toung bite,but I did note a dryness akin
to cotton mouth,but not intense and easily controlled by slowing
down and sipping a bit shallower.

The flavor was earthy and dry,and on the retrohale a note of
spiceyness or pepper.Not strong but noticable.This tobacco seemed
pretty straight forward,I didn't pick up any flowery or soapiness,
nor any sweetness from a topping.The sweetness in the preburn didn't
come thru in the smoke.The smoke was plentifull but thin.

Where this is a blend I would definatly want on hand for personal
reflection,it isn't one I would recomend to new pipers who are
expecting more flavor.This is a nice evening smoke with no
complications,with a mild nicotine hit.
