Mac Baren - Original Choice 3.5oz
Awesome!!!
Awesome, just awesome blend. Excellent full bodied flavor, great tin note, room note is superb, burns well, good moisture level from tin opening, and all around great smoke. The fruitiness is subtle, but there. Not overly sweet. This is what I look for in an aromatic blend. My hat is tipped to Mac Baren, as I have never been disappointed in any of their products.

Three Nuns - Three Nuns 1.75oz
Interesting!
I'm sure it is a classic, but not for me. It burns great, smokes great, but not the flavor I'm looking for. I never tried the original, but I won't re-order.

Peter Stokkebye - Black Vanilla
Good Cav Blend
A solid smoke. Very mild on the vanilla, but the black Cavendish is very smooth and inviting. I will definitely re-order.

Sutliff - Tobacco Galleria: Classic Vanilla
Good, but not great!
Good solid vanilla blend, but nothing surprising. A good basic blend with a little spiciness. Not sweet, just a good solid smoke!

Sutliff - Tabac Noir 1.5oz
A pallette of flavors!
Unique and meticulously crafted. I find this aromatic unusual and exotic. It seems very dry upon opening, but it burns well and has an excellent room note. The interesting flavor profiles blend in a way that is captivating throughout the bowl. Start to finish, a great smoke.

Sutliff - Molto Dolce 1.5oz
Creamy and Smooth!!
Sweet and rich flavors abound in this one. The complexity is amazing. If you like a sweet Cavendish, you fill fall head over heels for this one.

Mac Baren - 7 Seas Black 3.5oz
A Bounty of Flavor!!
One of my all-time favorites. Great flavor, nice room note, superb tin note. Smokes great after a little drying. I can't find anything negative with this classic.

Sillem's - Black 100g
Unique!!!
An interesting and very unique aromatic. Latakia adds to the tin note which is a potpourri of aromas. Smokes very well and has an excellent, but very different flavor. It will not be a staple in my rotation, but a great add to the collection for when I'm wanting something different or exciting.

Lane Limited - 1-Q
A must have for your rotation!!!
This is what an everyday aromatic should be! This will remain in my rotation for a VERY long time. Great flavor! Excellent in every way!

Sutliff - Z93 - Dark Decadence
Excellent Choice!
I had high hopes and was not disappointed. Great all day Cavendish that will not bite. Flavor is sweet, but not over the top. Room note is amazing and it smokes well. I will keep this in my rotation. Highly recommend.

Drew Estate - 7th Avenue Blonde 50g
Not Overpowering Vanilla
I like a milder vanilla aromatic at times, and this one does not overpower you with the topping. Burns well, smokes light and is very pleasing as an all day blend. Not my favorite of the Drew Estate line, but one that I would recommend you try.

Mac Baren - 7 Seas Regular 3.5oz
Great all day aromatic!
Excellent tin note, great room note, balanced flavors of chocolate, fruits and vanilla. Captain Black white label on steroids. Very little bite. I'm a big fan of Mac Baren, and this one doesn't disappoint.

Drew Estate - Toasted Black Cavendish 50g
Excellent Choice!
My favorite of the Drew Estate line so far. Great flavor with very little bite. Excellent tin note and smokes well. I'll be ordering more!!! A new staple in my rotation.
