r (like nestle quick, not baking cocoa) and something fungal / umami
Ok. Up front: I like this one. I am holding myself to the 5 point scale, but if I were doing half points this would get an additional .5.
This aromatic is light and airy, and had some surprises. Very first light and I was like “this is Carter halls distant more fun cousin, but that thought went away. Why?
Because the next surprise was a cherry taste - and one I don’t like - for the briefest of moments it had an underlying BRM faux cherry taste - but here it was ok. Maybe because then it seemed I was wrong. It’s some fruit , but not cherry. I needed another bowl to try harder to find it.
On the light , it hit me. It tastes like suntan lotion smells , but from a slight distance. Not on you, but on someone else who walks by. Weirdly pleasant. And the cheap chocolate I smelled in the bag popped in. Like Palmer chocolate you get at Easter , not rich, just milk chocolate and butter fat. The cherry:not cherry popped its head up again.
Now I’m mystified so I went to read the description. You need to know - I haven’t read them in advance. I want to avoid mis-cues or preconceived notions of I can avoid it. And there it is : “hints of coconut and other tropical fruits” “evocative of Caribbean delights”.
I gotta say they got that right - otherwise how do I get the whole suntan lotion thing ?
This is definitely someone’s favorite blend. It’s not mine - BUT - I do think getting a few ounces to take out in the water while fishing would be nice.
My rating : 3- this is good - I’d buy it on sale Or to get free shipping in an order
(This is blend 3 of the 101 C&D bulk blends, sampled in order of lowest Smoking Pipes rating , upward.)...Read More

I am really surprised by the low ratings as I found this to have a very smooth, pleasant flavor and roomnote and no bite. Give it a try you might like it!🙂

Thought from the description this might be I good choice but not for me. Don’t think I can smoke this.

Got a hint of sweet on the top, but a little way in the flavor was gone. Had such hopes but I have to agree with the other reviews. This was disappointing.
Badly closed packaging

rously clean the Meer. Someone else may love this, I seem to have an aversion to whatever chemicals are used to flavor most of these aromatics.
Now, I've been flavoring Burley in Malibu rum for a good while. I'll stick to that if I want a sweet coconut smoke once in a while. But hey, it was a gamble and sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you get a mouth full of burning plastic.
To date, the only aromatic I care for is Nutty Irishman. No chemical flavor for me in that and good Burley. So yeah, Thx for turning my pipe into Chernobyl Bob.
UPDATE: Customer Service read my review and refunded me...outstanding service...THX...Read More

Reminds me of smoking a Swisher Sweet cigar so if you like smoking them i think you will enjoy this tobacco.For me personally I consider it not bad but not great.
Strange.

The bag note is a cross between coconut, and some sort of decaying matter. Hesitantly loaded the pipe with it and was semi surprised. Tasted better than it smelled, and room note was tolerable. Probably will not buy again.
