I just got my can of it today and I love it. I smoked it as hot as I dared and it didn't bite. My pipe cooled down to a comfortable level within a minute. Right out of the can, it was a little moist and was a little difficult to light, but manageable. I'd recommend letting it sit open for a day or loading a pipe pouch with it before you plan to smoke. Tin note: Raisins, milk chocolate Room note: Fig, very mild and pleasant. girlfriend doesn't mind it. Looks like I've found an inside smoke! Taste: Not a lot of taste, but what is present is mild, smooth, sweet, and slightly tangy, with more of the fig taste. Sure beats the other drug store blends I've tried like Sir Walter Raleigh, Sail, and Captain Black. Inhaling it even went smooth. After a re-light, the flavor picked up strength and got a slight spice to it, but retaining the fig. Overall: I could smoke this all day. Smoke was pretty mild and wispy. Despite its moisture in the can, I haven't needed a pipe cleaner yet and I'm not even using a balsa filter. I'd recommend this to beginning smokers and experienced smokers who can appreciate subtlety in flavor. It's a good morning tobacco and would pair well with a blonde roast of coffee, milk, or sweetened black tea.

Got this free sample from Dead Mans Pipes...My pipes were awesome and so was this tobacco. I actuall orded a tin of it from a web page this morning. It smelled really good throught the plastic bag and was better in my pipe. I have to say this my be my new favorite.

Recieved this as a free sample with an estate pipe I purchased from Dead Man's Pipes.com. The pipe was great...the tobacco was not... Kriswill Chief

Having strayed from aromatics years ago and wanted to try something as an occasional change of pace, upon recommendation of a friend,I ordered a tub of Whitehall Black Tie. This is by far the WORST tobacco I have ever encountered. It makes Captain Black White Label(an old favorite of mine)seem like a Dunhill blend by comparison. The PPG content is so high the tobacco out of the tub is sticky and greasy and actually stuck to my fingers. It was extremely difficult to light, and after half a pipe, it tasted so bad I had to quit smoking it. It left my pipe gurgling and wet, and an aftertaste in my mouth so bad I had to go rinse my mouth out with mouthwash! I then had to wash my hands several times to get the PPG and odor of the tobacco off my hands! While my friends said it smelled great as advertised, this is it's ONLY positive attribute. Don't waste your money on this one, it is truly awful!!

Like Felicity Kendal, it's sweetly pretty. Coconutty, almondy, vanilla-y, and not just a little gurggly. A soft, Boston creme pie cavendish-y sort of stuff. Certainly sweet, but by no means gooey. Aromatic fans and their wives will dig it. The stuff lingers in the briar, though, so be forewarned.

If you like Aromatics and Vanilla, give this four stars. Reminds me of MacBarens' Vanilla Creme. A bit too damp but lights o.k. This is all about the smell though. An indoor smoke if ever there was one. The only drawback is that if you don't like it you own a whole tub!

Really, not bad for a domestic blend consisting of golden and black cavendish tobaccos. Its' the black cavendish that gives this blend a somewhat unique character. It has to be fire cured leaf because a mild but noticeable degree of smokiness comes through in the aroma. The flavoring to this black leaf is a seemingly mild vanilla (not over the top) and to the blend as a whole what I think, but uncertain is a discrete note of coconut. It's flavor is actually lightly sweet, not sickeningly so. The degree and complexity of aroma gives this blend an incrediable fragrance that was even appreciated by myself who does not normally smoke this type of tobacco. The sweet smoky vanilla scent lingered in my nostrals long after I had finished one or two pipefuls like a vivid olfactory halucination. I would not be suprised like the tin says that even non-smokers would be captivated by the aroma. So captivated in fact that they would patiently wait in front of you, in a trance, waiting to do thy bidding. Captain Black Royal smokers and the like should try this one. - Recommended
