Well, when it comes to the Kendal Kentucky Nougat by Gawith and Hoggarth, I am not sure about 'Kentucky' descriptor, but certainly I would agree that 'nougat' is an appropriate term. Not that the tobacco is a chewy or brittle candy, but rather that there is certainly a nutty caramel butterscotch flavour to the smoke. It is also sweet, but overtly so, and for the most part, is quite pleasant. The primary problem is that the tar itself is quite sour, and there is a considerable amount of it.
Overall, this tobacco is definitely worth a try, I suspect many will like it, but be prepared for the tar... I personally decided to smoke this one through filters to cut down on this detractor.
