**Flue Cured (INW) 1.5% (6-27-25)** -- While still not really being a bacco or NET'er, I reluctantly review, yet another tobacco. Realizing the [Flue Curing](https://totalleafsupply.com/what-is-flue-cured-tobacco/) uses heat to cure the tobacco, I didn't get any truly dark, smoky, or burnt notes from this one. I got far more mid-dark notes, along with a very healthy dose of raw" notes. Now being a non-bacco'er, that's my term for a natural, unbaked taste/flavor. It presented as pretty natural tasting, with an almost honey like quality to the finish. While the mid-dark notes were very good, they weren't heavy, so it had about a mid-strength tobacco saturation overall. It leaned to the sweeter side, but not as high as your typical RY4. At 1.5% it was at a good strength, and could maybe be pushed 0.5% if needed. I struggled to try and better define the "raw" or "natural" notes, with maybe a touch of grassy-ness. After the finish the natural/raw notes lingered which was nice, and added authenticity. Again, as a non-bacco guy, I'd leave this one as a mid-strong, mid-dark tobacco with a great natural/raw overtone, sweetened, with a honey like finish. With no complaints or off-notes, leaving it fairly high at a **9.5/10**.
