I smoked a bowl of the Sweet Maple this afternoon in a Charatan second. I actually started to smoke it last night but realized as I was cutting it that it needed some serious air time. It was very satisfying from the start. The body of the smoke was substantial right after getting a good light, body that I usually don't get to until I am 10-20% into a bowl of most other tobaccos. Maybe I didn't cut it correctly because I had some trouble keeping it lit. When it comes to smoking twist/rope, I am a newbie. I enjoyed the flavor; didn't really detect maple but lots of tobacco flavor. When I got down to half a bowl, I stirred it up with my pipe tool, tamped it down lightly and fired it up again. It continued to be satisfying to the end.
