I notice a very, very slight hint of cocoa and a bare sharp nuttiness from the burley, but the whiskey flavor is why you buy it as it is the star, though it lacks some depth. The unsweetened black cavendish adds some brown sugar in the background. The Virginia has some grass and citrus, though you seldom notice the latter. The nic-hit is very minor. May need a light dry time, but it burns reasonably, cool, clean and smooth with a very consistent flavor. Won't bite, and has no dull or harsh spots. Leaves a little moisture in the bowl, and needs a few relights. Has a pleasant after taste. An all day smoke that wears well during your experiences. Two and a half stars.

I found this blend to be a very pleasant surprise. Far superior to Stokkebye's other whiskey blend. This blend smokes much cooler, and has more tobacco flavor than the other. It has a very nice scotch aroma and taste. I have had nothing but compliments on the room note. When I packed my pipe with the Frank method, it burned down to a white ash, with no goop. I wish I had ordered more.

Here is a well blended aromatic which even dedicated smokers of English mixtures seem to enjoy. It has a wonderful whiskey aroma in the pouch and is shipped quite wet. Unfortunately, once I dried it out to the proper humidity, much of the whiskey aroma was gone, leaving mainly a chocolate aroma. That caveat aside, it packs and burns very nicely once dried. Both the room note and flavor are a tasteful blend of base tobaccos and the chocolate/whiskey essences. The first half of the smoke has a nice coolness which I have noted in other liquor flavored tobaccos such as Esoterica Pembroke (flavored with cognac) and Cornell and Diehl Apricots and Cream (flavored with apricot brandy). There is some light burley in the blend which adds a nice bit of strength, favor, and piquancy. Towards the bottom of the bowl, the flavor is predominated by straight tobacco rather than the blandness of many aromatics. This has become a favorite of mine to smoke while telecommuting due to it's medium strength, flavor, and ease of keeping lit.

Update: After torturing myself with a number of awful blends in the ALTADIS sampler, I'm revisiting some of my favorite aromatics. I haven't smoked this in quite some time and forgot just how good it is. It stays lit and burns slowly, never overheating. There is natural tobacco flavor which the additives complement very well. There is a bit of bite which I could do without, but nothing compared to the ALTADIS garbage. Yes, there are good aromatics out there, and this is one of them.

This was my first venture into bulk PS and I bought two ounces. Great looking tobacco, and it has a nice aroma. You can just get the whiskey scent on top, with some nice Cavendish. This mixture smoked great. This was one of those very nice, ahh that's why I smoke pipes blend. I've tried it in my Peterson, and my cobs and it's great everytime. I went back to buy more and will always have this on hand. One of my go-to blends.

This blend received some below average reviews, but I found it to be sweet and tasty. It leaves a pleasant aroma in the room and it burns well. I recommend it as a nice smoke late in the evening.

Peter Stokkebye - Highland Whiskey (No.38).

The unlit blend has a nice appearance, a mix of all the different colours of the tobaccos, right from jet black up to light brown. Considering that this is an aromatic the aroma is very light with only a slight whiskey note to it but the moisture level is perfect, where you are just certain it will light with ease and sustain the burn well, which it does. Now, the smoke..... again, like the unlit aroma the whiskey is lighter than expected in an aromatic, still noticeable with ease , it's just not too strong. The Black Cavendish is the least prominent flavour, you only pick it out if you look for it decidedly but the Burley and Virginia share the lead in quite an equal fashion. As I mentioned earlier it burns well and it is incredibly steady but on the negative side the burn and smoke are a touch too hot, necessitating a cool drink on the side. Nicotine level is just about right for me (about Peterson Old Dublin level).

If it wasn't for the hotter smoke and my mouth feeling slightly languished afterwards it would get 4 stars, alas due to this it only scores 3!

For the money and the genre this is 4 stars.

Not overly strong but not weak either. Middle of the road i guess. Body builds as you smoke down. The nicotine is mild to lower medium, but it's there, which is more than i can say for most aro's (they seem to be nicotine free to me). Most importantly, this is not gloopey city. The additives have been lightly done which makes this smokable for those who don't love excessive PG and the like. Finally, tongue bite is not a problem if you smoke at a slow or moderate pace. Smoked hard (as i occasionally do when not concentrating) will cause some mild bite but nothing terrible. Did i mention the great value for money on this stuff - $27 per lb.

I only smoke aromatics occasionally and when i do they need to be good for me to enjoy them. This is.

Starts off with outstanding flavors. A very nice whiskey flavor mingling with the toasty Black Cavendish, mildly nutty Burley, and sweet Virginia natural flavors. Every once in a while I even get a note that taste like cherry. It fails to stay that way though. By mid-bowl the whiskey has burned off, the Burley and Virginias have faded, and you're left with a Black Cav smoke that is nice, but I didn't buy it for that. The first half is 4 star good. The second half not so much. 3 stars on the strength of the first half.

Body is mild to medium. Flavoring is mild to medium. Taste is medium. Burns well.

I purchased four ounces of this tobacco from my B&M (Stogies On Grand) when I returned to pipe smoking after a long hiatus. This evening I smoked a bowl and, surprisingly, it blew me away. It was very smooth, flavorful, complex for an aromatic, and just enjoyable to smoke in that it stayed lit and smoked cool. The room note is pleasant -- cask whiskey barrel. This is a great bulk option that I'll likely add to my next online purchase. It won't make my starting rotation. The only aro that has is a 50/50 mix of Lane 1Q and BCA. But this will make for a good middle reliever due to its distinctive taste and smell. Recommended.
