Tin note of apricots, nuts, and vanilla. Tobacco is a Broken Flake reddish brown, tan a little black. Moisture content is high. Drying will be needed. Burns slow with a few relights. The strength is mild to medium and nic is mild. Flavoring is mild to medium, with notes Apricot and Vanilla. Vanilla fizzles in the first 1/4, then the apricots fizzle out around the 1/2-way point. Taste is mild to medium and consistent, with notes of marshmallow, toast, wood, spice, bread, dry, fermented vegetation, molasses, cocoa, creamy, nuts, brown sugar, floral, fermented, peaty, a grassy background note, and a mostly smooth retro. Burley is leading with Virginia, Cavendish and Flavoring supporting. Oriental/Turkish are cheering them on. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is ok....Read More

Tends to get hot. The tin note is the best I've ever smelled, but the flavor doesn't measure up.

The moment I put this to my lips I noticed a taste of apricot yogurt which took me right back to my childhood. The nostalgia mixed with a pleasant smell everyone around me enjoys makes me feel good when I smoke this wonderful blend. It does burn hot so I will have to be careful, but my my, I will definitely buy you again....Read More

Absolutely my favorite goto tin. Occasionally the bite is a little rough on a fresh unsealing, but after a dry out its fantastic... (I like to leave a fresh can open overnight for just 1 evening) I would like to discover some variations of this mixture and 'what it is that I just can't put my finger on' that makes this so enjoyable to my palate. It must be a DNA thing... but this one is my #1 Favorite...Read More

The tobacco is quality, the topping seeps through the smoke and only taps the tastebuds. Meanwhile you mostly taste a well crafted blend and the other folks in the room will say anything from hot chocolate to grandpa's pipe. One of my favorite aromatic blends that allows me to also taste tobacco....Read More

Tastes Like It Smells!

I'm not an aromatic smoker generally because most I've ever tried taste nothing like they smell in the container and are nothing but goopy tongue biters. However I was delighted to discover this blend as it absolutely tastes like it smells which I have found to be very, very rare. I agree with other posters here you should let dry a bit and smoke very slowly with smaller puffs. The retro-hale is delicious!...Read More

Perfect for the starter

Really nice tin and room note and easy to pack. You have to smoke slowly or it will bite you. Good quality tobacco and worth the money - at least for me.

Pecan pie fans rejoice!

Stanwell's Melange mixture is breathtaking. As aromatics go, this is quite nice. Aromatics can sometimes be less than quality tobacco heavily flavored to hide that fact. Stanwell would never. This is a fine combination of quality tobaccos with just the right amount of flavor essences to enhance the best of what the components have to offer. The aroma from a freshly opened tin can make you want to eat it, lol. Once lit, the best part is that most of the tin note translates to flavor. The Burley nuttiness shines through, but where you may expect Walnut flavor, here it tastes like a buttery pecan. This marries well with the Black Cavendish and Virginia sweetness and calls to mind flavors associated with praline or peanut brittle. The Orientals help metamorphose the normal flavors you'd expect. It tastes like pecan pie to me, from the candied pecans and buttered flaky crust to the ooey gooey creamy mixture within. But, somehow Stanwell manages to do this without making the tobacco overly saturated itself. I find the moisture level good (as aromatics go) and the ribbon cut is great for ease of packing and lighting. It could be dried before if you prefer without losing too much flavor, but it's not necessary. Because it is so high in sugars, it can bite if you huff' 'n' puff' quickly. Just slow down and enjoy the fine taste. Believe it or not, this has some depth to it. About halfway through the bowl when the topping is spent, rather than becoming tasteless as many aromatics would, it becomes more natural tasting and mellows into a nice all-day VA/Burley sort of smoke. The finish is reminiscent of a glass of tea to rinse the palate. I think this would appeal to fans of Sutliff's Creme Brulee or Peterson's Sweet Killarney. Enjoy....Read More
