This is good, probably my favorite Tobacco mix overall. HS Arabic tobacco is one of my favorite "gems" as far as tobacco flavors go, I have a hard time describing it but I find it very very "Aromatic", like a top shelf pipe tobacco. It's also quite smooth, very flavorful in general. Ive found you can go much higher with the percentage used, but in this mix it fills out the cured tobacco nicely, and plays very nice with its similarish flavor profile. I dont taste the bourbon vanilla, it just finishes filling out the mix.
