For a couple minutes, I had trouble getting this lit; but, once I did get it going, boy did it go. It became a bright cherry, and from that point on, I had trouble keeping it in check. Not scortching, mind you, but it's a tobacco to watch, and at best it's warmer in the mouth than I prefer. For flavor, I guess I catch hints of sweet liquor, and maybe I can also tell what people mean by hints of cream and chocolate too, but it's all within the context of something else I don't prefer, which I think must be the maduro. In any case, it's got sort of a generic, maybe fakish aromatic flavor. The room note is out of this world. I mean, really, really amazing... like nougat. Couldn't overstate how much I like that. It's quite consistent until the bottom of the bowl--the last fourth or less--when it suddenly turns very bitter. I'm not sure what causes that, but it's quite definite and predictable. It's a good blend in its own way, and above average in some regards, but the liabilities are too great, to me.

An outstanding, distinct and hauntingly "familiar" aromatic blend! Burns cool with tons of dense, smooth smoke, down to a fine white ash. High quality tobaccos throughout. Not at all overly sweet or heavy, and will not goop your pipe. The tasty chocolate hazelnut and delicate buttercreme casings combine to make a sort of nougat flavor and aroma that is both unique and delectable. Even more amusing, the tiniest dash of cigar leaf in the mix brings me back to the smell of bank lobbies and high end office buildings of the 1950's where the fragrance of various aromatic pipe tobaccos once mixed freely with the occasional cigar, and created a most memorable, harmonious, and entirely random bouquet. This bouquet. This blend is quite aptly dubbed "Wall Street". Highly recommended.

A smashing blend for those who enjoy a sweet tobacco taste without a lot of punch. Burns cool and dry right down to the bottom. The Virginia and "dark chocolate" tasting cavendish combine to make this one shine. The smell in the pouch is so good I almost grabbed a spoon rather than my pipe. At the match, the flavor blast is high while the power is low. A unique blend that I liked a lot as a change of pace.

Having sampled Milan tobacco previously, I must say I am not let down any time I smoke their blends. They are probably the most exceptional producers of mild aromatics with tobacco flavor I have ever encountered. Wall street is no exception. Wall Street is mild and flavorful while holding my discriminating taste in interest. I can see where one could enter a holding pattern to savor this excellent mild aromatic with good tobacco taste.

This is an 'Island Selection' tobacco. Extremely nutty in aroma and flavor and one I can almost equate with fine english or VaPers for thoughtful,enjoyable quality time smokes. Bought in bulk,the perfect moisture from the bag before smoking. Nuts and...I don't know about 'chocolate covered hazelnuts and creme', but nutty and something sweet, (smoked flavor reminds me of dates). Burns cleanly and the nutty flavor comes through very nicely. The last fifth of the bowl turns bitter and tells me to I need to stop. Until then it is an enjoyable journey. 5-10 times a week, I'll keep it stocked for a long time.
