This was the last of the GH tobaccos I tried, and boy, was it a happy ending! It's a truly delicious, full-bodied, pure VA smoke. First of all, it looks GREAT, as you can see, though I had to cut it before smoking! It feels moist in the hand, but after 10 minutes in the open air, it was ready to go into the bowl. The biggest surprise was the strength; I thought it would knock me unconscious. It didn't. Instead, it was so smooth throughout, with no harshness. Having said that, it is not a tobacco you can smoke on an empty stomach or any time of the day. The taste is an intriguing mixture of salty, sweet, sour, and bitter; at certain times it tastes a bit like metal, which I like (maybe I smoke the nail that keeps it in place!)! It burns SO slowly and regularly. While it is supposed to be the same as "Sliced Brown", I find it to be only similar. If you like such tobaccos, this could be an absolute winner.
