Nice smoke, strong taste and aroma. Has a good bite to it that some my not like. I found that it's a tobacco better taken slowly. Not very much fun to puff on, it can get quite harsh.

It falls somewhere in that middle ground. You can taste the tobacco, is fuller in flavor and depth than a straight aromatic yet is sweet and has some flavoring in there. Smokes cool, dry, finishes to a nice ash. Leaves a pleasant room note. Not b... Read More

First the good: It smokes really well, and on the front has a complex and interest set of flavors. And again, smokes great. Burns perfectly. The bad: The cigarette aftertaste makes me nauseous and is conspicuous.

I wouldn't consider this blend as aromatic but more a natural tobacco mixture. I taste the virginia and burley but the cavendish is barely visable. The taste is a light natural flavour. Nothing very original.

Compared to CPC Scottish Blend, this one isn't. It isn't bad, but it is a mildly aromatic mixture and not a true Scottish at all.

I've been smoking this blend while out huntinf and it goes well with crisp fall and sharp winter weather. I'll agree with a previous reviewer that it's pretty much all natural tobacco flavor as I get very little of the Cavendish.
