Sutliff - Barbados Plantation 1.5oz
Gonna buy me some more
This stuff tastes great and smells great. It is a bit moist when opening the can but I haven't cracked a can of any Sutliff aromatic that wasn't.
Seattle Pipe Club - Deception Pass 2oz
Wanted to like it...
Heard such great things about this blend so thought I would give it a shot. I went into this wanting to like it but couldn't even finish the first smoke. This stuff tastes nasty to me. It was like I threw a handful of raisins in my mouth followed by a few dozen black peppercorns and started chewing it all together. The tin note was raisins and vinegar. This was by far the most unpleasant smoking experience I have ever had.
Mac Baren - Black Ambrosia 3.5oz
Mild but good
Just a sweet and pleasant smoke. Everyone around me enjoys the room note and I enjoy the subtle sweet flavors. Finished the first tin and bought two more. This isn't going to blow your mind with strong flavors but it is enjoyable.

Keep going back
If I sat and thought about this blend I would tell you it was OK. Nothing stands out that wows me. It is exactly how it is described. A mellow smoke with good vanilla flavor. With that said I seem to be going through my stash of it rather quickly. I just keep going back for more.
Sutliff - Cinnamon Delight
Missing Something
I can't say it is bad tobacco that lacks all flavor, but it does lack what it claims to be. There has a very slight cinnamon room note but that is as far as the cinnamon goes. It smoked just fine, tasted like straight black cavendish, and would of been a decent smoke had I not been expecting some sort of cinnamon experience.
Cobblestone - Cafe Caffe Mocha Flake 1.5oz
Enjoyable
This is a pretty good smoke. The topping is light and not overpowering. It's not wet or overly sweet. Those around me commented on the pleasing smell with hints of raspberry and vanilla. Most of the toppings flavor is lost in smoking but the natural tobacco flavors shine and are enjoyable. I won't be stocking up on this stuff but I will definitely be purchasing a tin every now and then.
Sutliff - Panna Cotta 1.5oz
Very sweet
This is one that actually has a very sweet caramel and vanilla flavor when smoked. The room and tin notes are pleasant. It was fairly wet in the tin and did need to dry a bit before I smoked it but I expect that with most aromatics. Overall I enjoy it and those around me enjoy it. Not much more I could ask for.
Mac Baren - 7 Seas Black
All around comfortable smoke
Smooth, no bite, and a light sweet flavor. Makes for an easy comfortable smoking experience. This is a favorite after dinner smoke for me while sipping on a bit of bourbon and relaxing.
Cornell & Diehl - King Cake 2oz
Wish I could get it in bulk
This is just a great tobacco. I really enjoyed smoking it and those around me loved the room note. I would call it a mild relaxing smoke full of interesting flavors that isn't overly sweet. I will be stocking my cellar with as many cans as possible so that I have some left when it reaches the recommended age. Only negative I can find is that I can't buy it in bulk. I would love to get this by the pound.
Lane Limited - LL-7
Great room note
My wife and kids love when I smoke this. They say the room note reminds them of s'mores. It does make for a nice mild, relaxing smoke. The description says " a gentle chocolate/toasted marshmallow flavor" and they do mean gentle. I find it lacking in flavor and pretty bland.
Cult - Blood Red Moon 50g
Cult makes a great product.
One of my favorites. The tin note is certainly cherry. The room note is chocolate covered cherries and very pleasant. The smoke is smooth with a mild chocolate and cherry flavor.
