TOTAL SCORE OUT OF 100: __85__

Notes: Solani 633 is a pretty decent tobacco, with a nice toasty,golden Virgina taste that occasionally gets a bit spicy/peppery as the bowl goes on. Smokes pretty dry and leaves no ill after taste on the pallet. Pretty good va/per overall. Not in my top 5, but definitely my top 10. Well worth picking up and trying.
