I was suggested this blend from a friend who prefers mild blends. Upon opening this tin, I was a bit leery because it doesn't smell that great (hence, the slight reduction in the appearance review), however, I found it to be a surprisingly flavorful blend. Although it's very mild, it does carry a rather wonderful spice with a small kick at the end. It's a great smoke after a long day of work and the desire to relax. I would highly recommend it to beginners or someone who likes milder blends.
