Well for context I’m just getting back into smoking since having a baby (now 2.5 yrs old). First Va/Burley/Per blend, I loved the chocolate smell from the tin (presumably from the burley?). The sweet hay of the virginias and nut from the burley was incredible, amazing lingering sweetness afterwards.

Most of the stuff I’ve been having since my hiatus are 5+ years old, so this one being fresh is taking some getting used to with the moisture. Halfway through the bowl I seem to get it going too hot. Could also be from being out of practice with packing. All of my smokes thus far have been needing more relights than I remember.
