Got to say I am not a big aromatics guy. This blend is fantastic. I didn’t even know it was an aromatic when I picked it up from my local B&M. I was hoping to get lucky with some aged burley flake and I saw this one sitting there and I don’t know if I have older tin or what but it didn’t mention the Scotch. It just said Virginia/Burley and I thought well hell, it can’t be bad. This is a top five blend for me easy. A true challenge not to overheat the bowl but I can’t get enough. The single malt topping adds some sweetness and does not at all overshadow the fine tobaccos in this blend. Enjoy your Scotch in the morning with this one. Don’t buy a tin…buy 5....Read More
Scotch? Meh... This is More Fruity

I don't like fruit in my pipe... no cherry, peach, apple, pineapple, mango... I'm good with Scotch, Bourbon, Whiskey, Vanilla, Cocoa, but not fruit. This was simply too fruity. I compared this to Scotty's Milk and Honey over at Pipes and Cigars - a true Scotch topped mixture which has a sweet peaty tang of a marked Scotch flavor, and this just doesn't compare. I guess if you like fruit in your pipe this is okay, but if you're looking for a Scotch topped mixture, this ain't the one. The Cavendish was overdone and contributed to dank body or emptiness....Read More

Whiskey tastes so much that it overpowers other aromas, even Virginia.

Wow, great smoke.
A very familiar smell to it. It was very warm & inviting like rustic comfort with a charred spice that reminded me of Christmas. Kinda like a weak scent of church incense, but just a little & a woody burley taste with light cherry & chocolate.
I loved that the tobacco was coming through and the topping was just right. Definitely got topping, but I also thought maybe there was a casing as well on the burley that just made it pop or maybe it was the Black Cavendish bringing everything to the front....Read More

This is a great smoke here. High quality delicious tobacco albeit pretty strongly flavored (bourbon and cherry to me). Burns beautifully, no bite, no goop, no polypropylene glycol flavor (like the vastly inferior 1-Q), Not overly sweet, no ghosting. Reminds me of a Manhattan cocktail. Wonderful room note. A lovely aromatic....Read More

Good Room notes & excellent flavour. A little damp, but most tinned tobacco is. Good value.
pleasant smoke, great room note

I tend to smoke Scottish blends, heavy Oriental blends, Burleys, and VaPers. This was a pleasant and pleasing surprise. It's tasty, of moderate strength, and won the praise of several non-smokers. I think I've found my new "pipe ambassador" tobacco.

Pair this with a good scotch and you won't be disappointed.

I don't smoke a lot of aromatics, but this is oneof them. This is nice and sweet, without being too sweet. The room note is fantastic. The tobacco flavor is slightly toasty, with notes of fruit and liquor. Let it dry some, then enjoy.
