Blend Notes:

This appears to be a blend of Altadis' Honey and Lane's Hazelnut aromatics. If I had to guess, I would say that it runs about 80%(Altadis)-20%(Lane). The tobacconist (Tobacco World, Spokane WA.) from which I bought it was only able to provide the types of tobacco used in the blend, not the brands. He was unable to find any record of what company the tobacco was ordered from, and said that the shop does make their own blends. I suspect that this is one of those blends. I have been unable to find a record of the tobacco, or even one with a similar name, anywhere else. Its a fantastic blend and I'd love to be able to share it and my thoughts on it.

I am generally wary of aromatic blends; I?m convinced that tobacco should taste like tobacco. However, I tried this blend on a recommendation of the gentleman who help me purchase my first pipe and found it delightful. The casing used functions the same way that vanilla or hazelnut flavoring does in coffee. It enhances the natural tendencies and flavor of the tobacco, permitting those flavors to come through more clearly. Before lighting, the draw is sweet and neutral; it sets a wonderful tone of expectation. Initial puffs offer a warm palette cleansing sweetness that shortly gives way to a full-bodied complexity suggested by the array of colors that this broken-flake tobacco presents. A blend of Virginia, Burley, and Black Cavendish, the whole bowl yields rich complexity. The aromatic additives render the flavors bold and clear. This blend?s boldness, clarity, and complexity are coupled with an even smoothness throughout the bowl. Highly recommended for anyone. Novice smokers will appreciate the ease with which the tones and textures of this tobacco can be distinguished; experienced smokers will appreciate the quality and complexity of those tones. This is an excellent choice for smoking after dinner.
