Nice specimen of Malta-grown rustica (imported seeds; Aztec variety, leaves were allowed to brown on a living plant, curing was finished stringed, inside, if I remember the details right):
Sample kindly provided by James.
The leaves were very thick, “meaty” (high density, or “high materiality”). The flavour profile was unique, reminding that of dried mushrooms. Nicotine slightly above medium, on a par to good tobacco (stronger than the yellow Baltic heirloom).
