I honestly wonder if I just got a bad tin, given the overall positive reviews here and elsewhere. When I opened my tin I had ordered about 15 months prior, the smell immediately reminded me of Graham by Caribbean Blue. Not almond or amaretto; coconut. Tobacco was very wet. Smoking was the same, mainly coconut. I couldn't find any vanilla. Later I smoked small bowls of Graham and Aroma back to back, and the coconut flavor seems the same to me. Both tobaccos are from K&K, so it seems plausible. While I like Graham, and find the coconut compliments the burley, Aroma is an unpleasant smoke except for the room note. The strongest element is the coconut, and I have a hard time tasting any tobacco. It has an overall sour taste which might be from the Orientals, but could also be one or more of the indistinguishable casings which have been liberally applied. No detectable nicotine and no distinguishable tobacco flavor that I could find, but the wife did say it smells good. It dried pretty well over a week and a half in the tin, so I don't think there's too much humectant, but there's definitely too much something added for me to find it enjoyable. Again, I have to wonder if the tin I got was somehow atypical, given the positive reviews. I did find a review elsewhere in which the reviewer noted it resulted in mouth dryness, which I also found to be the case (that reviewer's rating was overall positive.)...Read More

Nice medium strength, pleasing smoke. Flavour reduces a bit towards the last 1/4th of tin, but still satisfactory. Does tend to get brittle towards the end and pipe needs cleaning because tobacco becomes crumbly and finer in particles (tobacco dust!)

This is a really nice tobacco with a good tin note and a good room note as well. Nutty sweet taste with no bite at all. From the nicotine side it is on the low side. Perfect and relaxing to smoke combined with a nice glass of Turriga.

This blend is amazing with a very complex flavor profile and excellent room note. Hints of almonds, vanilla, bourbon, rum, cherry, and yes - tobacco. One of the best aromatics I've tried. While it's not a daily smoke for me, I will definitely be keeping a supply of this on hand.

I have found that I keep comming back to the Savinelli Aroma time and time again. The tast is very complex, slightly spicy. The room note is excellent. Smooth smoke with no bite. Great tobacco!
