ed in it. In my experience, the kitchen-sink tobaccos have a tendency to overdo a flavor, or they taste awful. Vauen blended this one nicely. The flavors are all there, but work in fine concert to deliver a smooth, silky, savory, and sweet creation worth of briar and flame....Read More

English sweetness!

ourbon. The main difference with this English-Aromatic crossover is how well this seemingly impossible task (or some would say "questionable act") is executed. This blend is well balanced in every way. It not only still tastes like an English blend but has a rather unique flavor that combines with and compliments the Latakia well rather than ruining it's smooth smokeiness. I'd really like to know what Bourbon they use. Hell, maybe they're fire-curing the Latakia with whiskey barrels! If you're going to make a crossover that pleases English fans, you can't mess with the English taste. Crossovers are sometimes a hard sell, I know, but if you're open to the possibility that good can come from such ideas, this is a fine, fine example. It has lasting taste throughout a bowl, smokes smooth and creamy, lacks any tongue bite or sharpness. The tin I received was a tad moist, so I kept it in the tin a while and gave each bowl a half-hour drying time the first few days. By then the tin was perfect and ready to cellar. Though, it doesn't last long enough in my case to bother. I wanted to review this blend both because I enjoy it but also to alert readers of it's sweeter nature. With a name like "English Blend" some might not be expecting a crossover like this. Naming aside, this is a tasty treat that deserves to be tried and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do....Read More

Aromatic Yet Still English

; blends that I really like.
Vauen's English Blend & Vanilla is just such a blend. The key here is balance. It's deffinitely an English, with aromatic components. While that seems obvious and simple, the difference is that the Cavendish and topping are subtle enough that I don't hate it. The leaf comes from the tin a bit damp, and has the classic sticky feel of an aromatic with top dressing. But it lights easily and smokes fairly cool. I think that it may be the perfect balance of the two catagories in a blend that either English or Aromatic smokers can enjoy. This idea is not an original or new one. Many previous blenders have attempted this and I've tried many of them, and many fell short for me. Recently though a few have come to my attention, such as Moonshine Pipe Co. XXX, that I also really like. If you're looking to broaden your taste I recommend that you should buy a tin....Read More

Not overly sweet

Decided to try this tobacco based on youtube review, it's actually not too bad. I made sure to smoke it in a small nosewarmer as to not to ghost my other pipes, i would definitely recommend to other english blend smokers on the fence about trying an aromatic.
