Just cracked a 2019 tin today (thanks John)
Though my palate is still way off from Covid ( I still can't taste even coffee properly)
I must say that this is a beautiful blend the Orientals remind me of McClelland's Blending Oriental and then there is the sweet Va and a baritone Burley, a hint of fruity Perique, and lastly, a chocolatey Cav. The overall mouthfeel is thick smoke and a thin floral buttery incense on the retro. It has a nice Nic hit too. I know I'm probably only getting maybe 25% of the actual flavor because of the Covid but as far as all my favorite Baccy's in one blend this is giving me new hope, for if my taste never gets back to normal this will be a go-to for sure. I can still tell just by looking at it that it's quality stuff, time to stock up the cellar.
