Tsuge Ryujin in a Briar Works Rhodesian. An interesting blend that needs a little drying time. It becomes very creamy and interesting further down the bowl. I'm still conflicted about it overall. It starts with a decent Latakia, but the Acadian Black seems to round it out some. The Virgina starts out with a little bite because of the moisture level, but it eases off as the heat dries it out. It adds a citrus hay undertone. The Acadia has a very smooth and smoky Perique tang that is earthy, and mushroomy but creamy.

An interesting blend, but a little overly moist and the various tobacco cuts make it a bit more difficult to pack. If you like darker English blends taking time to master it can be rewarding.
