Overall: I am going to give this one 8.75/10.

Many of the reasons I knocked points are personall preferences.

• As I said previously the smell was too strong for me, but I get overwhelmed and overstimulated easily by strong smells. The flavor was also a little stronger than my liking.
• I put at least 15 minutes on the duration because I had to stop smoking early on, due mainly to the smell being too strong. I also had to put the container in the other room to hopefully minimize the scent.
• This is not an issue with the tobacco itself, but an issue with my response to scents in the last year or so.
• This is the first grape I have had in over a year (previous being white summer mixed fruit, which left me feeling almost nauseated because of the amount of grape-ness) In the past I believe that I got a little too burnt out on grape flavor in general.
• It does not taste sour to me.

These are the reasons that it is not a 10 or a 9. As a flavor, it is very good and the flavor strength leveled out while I worked on this review. It also completely covered the residual taste of Tangiers Spearmint (which has been my only smoke for about a month), which is kind of cool, and goes to show the strength of the flavor. I can see why many people would really enjoy it. I will have to have Hallie try it out after this weekend, as she loves grape flavors. I can say that I would likely keep this flavor around as a back up/ have it when guests are over. 

If you enjoy grape flavors then definitely try this one out.
