Fairly flavorful; not sweet or complex. Ham flavor complemented by strong salt and smoke. Slightly sour. Texture varied ham to ham.
Flavor varied ham to ham, but moist and (at its best) sweet, with fruit and brown-spice flavors. Low smoke, not very complex. Included glaze enhances flavors and balances salt.
