Appearance: 10/10 It's a pearlescent manila moon, embossed label that utilizes both gloss and matte finish set atop a black can. Just screams quality (from a value line?).
Aroma: 10/10 Pipe tobacco hits the nose first. Behind that lies vanilla and caramelized sugar with hints of chocolate. There's also a confection note that reminds me of the old fashioned candy buttons. You'll get some ammonia when it warms up (a few hours in the pocket), but aside from that... all kinds of delicious smells going on here.
Mouth Feel: 10/10 Skruf has come a long way with their portion material. Gone are the days of dry and irritating white portions... now they're soft and sleek. Oh, so comfy!
Flavor: 10/10 Everything that hits the nose makes an appearance on the tongue. Sweet vanilla, salty caramel and chocolatey pipe tobacco. This one comes on strong but mellows over time. It may be too sweet for some, but I find it complementary to the salt and bitter notes... everything comes together in such a way that makes my mouth very, very happy.
Nic Hit: 10/10 Regular strength, which is my preference these days. Lasts upwards of an hour.
Drip: 9/10 This is a fairly drip resistant pouch. That said, once it gets moist enough, it will allow some (mud)slide.
Overall: 9.8/10 Hands down one of my favorite portions. Classic aromatic tobacco and the sweetness of vanilla caramel. Absolutely delicious! Pair this one with a nice chocolate, soft drink (especially cola) or a black coffee... you won't be disappointed.
