| I thought this would be very sweet, but the burley covers up most of the fruit taste. It is an interesting blend that should appeal to both aromatic smokers and fans of more traditional blends. Personally the burley is a little too strong giving me a slight case of tongue bite but still a good smoke.

| the secondhand pipe guy on ebay sent me a tin with a really cool pipe. I have to say not bad. The Burley is up front the aroma is a coconut and pineapple. sort of like an old Middleton Blend I cant remember. Burley give it a little umph for the money. Mixed reviews on aroma. definetly Tropical but the is a real good Pipe tobacco toasty aroma. Pleasant Med aromatic blend.

| I was introduced to this via a sample sent to me with a pipe purchased on eBay. Ordinarily, I shy away from anything with the word 'tropical' in the name, but I was very pleasantly surprised by this blend. This is one of those rare aromatics that actually tastes like it smells, and it smells wonderful. I finished my sample in short order and went in search of more. Unfortunately, it is only available in 1.5 ounce tins, so I grabbed a couple along with a few ounces of Altadis Bulk Tropic Cavendish #13 to compare. I'll report the results of the comparison when I review the latter. Smoke this slowly in a shallow bowl and you won't be disappointed. It burns well, but be forewarned: it will leave behind some goop.
