Finally cracked into the current Sansepolcro, not sure how to feel. The virginias are somewhat sweet but not effervescent and citrusy, the tuscan kentucky dark is doing something, but I can't decide what. It's nutty and has the barest hint of clove and some other spice, like a distant licorice note, but nothing I would identify as a dark fire, maybe the caramel to the sweetness is it. Possibly gentian, it reminds me of an amaro in some ways. I like it more than burley blends already but don't know what I was expecting. Very mild and close to an all day blend. I've never had an irish flake but something matches the description in an off-kilter way. Probably the ridiculous amount of nicotine.
I do get some dirt, like aged liubao tea country club dirt. Betel nut aroma. The first bowl I didn't know what to think at all but this second one has given me some frame of reference. I think I need a bigger pipe to get more out of it, it's the kind of thing you can keep smoking looking for what it does without it being in your face and on all the time.
It makes me want a toscano cigarillo so I can larp as eastwood instead of van cleefe. That's what it does. It's a good smoke but it may take me the whole tin to figure out why.
