Plumcake!
Being new to piping 4 stars may be a bit generous but the tobacco smoked as described! The tobacco out of the tin was moist and didn't need any drying. It packed and stayed lit to the bottom of the bowl. The plum/rum flavor was quite subtle. I smoked this tobacco on a rainy day and it was quite satisfying. I have much to learn about pipe smoking but the journey thus far has been most pleasurable.
