Mellow Yellow

Description

My first abstract profile, it is not really a tobacco and not even tropical. Can appeal to non tobacco lovers, as it is non smokey or leafy, but it is complex, dense and satisfying with a tropical sweetness that makes you smile (quite rightly!). Sweet Guava is such a staple, but has little to do with an actual guava fruit (which is too pungent and weird). This is a sweet, non descript dense, fruity flavor with a delicious ripe banana note. This note pairs great with the chocolaty additives Red Burley and Connecticut Shade are, Virginia is in the background to smooth out and give a little somewhat. Like the supposed meaning of Donovan's song, as he put it: "being mellow, laid-back, chilled out." Nothing to do with smoking banana strands or electrical bananas, for that matter. ED: I enjoy it on a few days steep as I'm accustomed to the initial zing of FLV baccos, but it will balance out in a week, as @Xist kindly points out in the review. 6/2021: Thanks @EyeMSam for his generosity: "I don't hate this, it's weird though, like a dirty fruit, it's like a flavored cigar wrap", "after the steep it was pretty interesting, it's weird having this fruity sweetness to this nice kind of mellow tobacco", "I don´t hate it, I really don`t" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdwNq1AxR2Y&t=2178s)
