BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

It's about time this one won!
I'll pack some of this in my bag for this weekend as well and try to get a review up soon. This one is currently a personal favorite so let's see what I can do with a review

Interesting, as I never knew this had an anise flavoring.
Gave this my first go today as I had a reason to finally crack the tin. The tin note is sweet tobacco and anise.
Pulled a few flakes to dry then rub out
Loaded up my meer Dublin and went to town
The result was a 2 hour smoke that was very enjoyable. Initially the anise was almost overpowering. It settled down and I could taste some excellent sweet Virginias and the burley added a nice nuttiness. Towards the end of the bowl I was tasting candied almonds. This tin will probably not last long.

Very good stuff!
I smoked my first bowl of it(given to me by ThePolishPiper) at the New York Pipe Show's after party. I was very impressed. The flavor & aroma are top notch.
I forgot to mention that at the end of the bowl the smoke smelled almost like popcorn popping. Didn't need taste that way at all. I found it interesting.
Just saw this I'll bust out some for a more recent review but it's good iirc I get licorice/molasses/ and anise and some meaty dark fired ky, if u like it hit up ph dark strong which I like a bit better

I love this baccy!
I get all kinds of rich Virginia flavors with this little hint of some spice I can't place. Glad I have some more slices bc I will be revisiting this stuff again very soon

Smoked this a bit all week and have to say it's a really great blend. The small flakes kind of threw me in the beginning, but other than being a pain to fold and stuff, the aesthetic is a nice touch. Clear separation of tobaccos and it reflects in the smoke as well, I found it rather easy to pick out the VAs from the KY. Smokes cool and dry and probably won't put you on your ass but what do I know. Solid smoke.
