Todays tobacco is the cougar burley "Sir Walter Raleigh"
Pre-light smell: Hard to described. Toasty, grassy smell. Really pleasant. Sorta like smelling coffee.
look: cubish cut.
Taste: This is a semi-sweet and toasty burley. Very good for "cheap" tobacco. If smoked too fast, it can produce the burley bitters, but sipped, and it is very good.
Aftertaste: Nice burley aftertaste. Pleasant on the tongue.
Room note: Leaves a nice, pleasant smell to the room. Most people should like the smell.
Bite: None that I got, but I'm sure if you smoked this like a chimney, you would get bitten.
Overall: Solid and excellent "cougar" blend. It is worth a shot, for the experienced and beginner pipe smoker, alike.
