(4.00)
Spring Training, and that means baseball, and baseball means snacks while watching the game. One of the favorites is caramel-covered popcorn with glazed peanuts. So, my blend has a caramel top note, with a nutty undertone. Load up a bowl and watch the pre-season games.​

Opening a fresh pouch of Spring Training revealed a blend made up mainly of fine brown ribbons with golden brown and black pieces mixed throughout. The smells were of butter, vanilla, cake batter, toffee, caramel, and chocolate covered peanuts. It was slightly moist to the touch and required drying. An unlit sip tasted of caramel, and the initial light was of caramel and a slight nuttiness. Overall the smoke brought an oily nuttiness like a walnut, that was sometimes more of a toasted nut flavor, and the sweet caramel top note was very pleasing. Sometimes a buttery vanilla taste would appear, and every so often a hint of cocoa. There was a good balance between the nutty tastes and the sweet tastes, and I didn’t experience any tongue bite with this blend. The finish was rather long, the taste seemed to stick with me and a full bowl often left my mouth dry. The room note was very pleasant, and this blend was very good with black coffee. I enjoyed this blend quite a bit and would recommend it to any aromatic fan.

I found it is not overly sweetened or flavored just enough to make for a tasty smoke. No bite, no sludge. I can see it as an all day smoke

Amazing blend from Russ. Sweet, basball nostalgia inducing pouch note and name. A little wet, but the tast is amazing. Subtle sweet notes come through a good tobacco flavor. This will be my everyday as long as he keeps blending it!
