| My fellow reviewers must have never tasted French vanilla ice cream, which is vanilla ice cream made from a custard base, and the topping is unmistakably that. Any plum flavor is way in the background. Room note, tin note and pipe note are all identical which is unusual. Good quality smooth creamy tobacco. Perfectly balanced blending. Hydration levels are perfect upon opening the tin. Stays lit. A dessert or early morning smoke rather than an all day smoke. If the plum came out more and there were less sticks I would have given it 4 stars.

| A really nice blend from Rattrays this.
A distinctive aroma and mild taste ; you can tell it's quality. Not quite as pricey as Davidoff's Danish, to which this is comparable.
Incredible tin aroma, clean burning with enough character to remain interesting to the bottom of the bowl. Surprisngly no comment from Mrs RH re room note, that I thought was quite good. Hell, what do I know anyway.
Well worth having in your stock. I know I will.

| I'm glad I gave this a try. I like the tin's 3 old-fashioned notches for opening with a coin. Once opened, the aroma is a cherry creme or cordial, and there's a definite cocoa essence. All of this is reserved, however, and not like Paladin or Cherry Blend. Next, the cut is rough with large pieces of Virginia and Burley in light and darker shades. It lights quickly and burns without many re-lights. The tobacco flavors come through at once, while the room aroma is the aromatic essences. The wife has repeatedly mentioned how nice it smells, and she's never commented before. It doesn't leave a great deal of itself behind, but I'd use caution before putting it into a Dunhill. I'd say dedicate a pipe to this and see how it goes. Highly recommended.

| This is a wonderful aromatic that came out of the tin perfectly dried, which tells me this was going to be a quality smoke! This did not make my pipe gurgle at all, not one bit. This tobacco has a good mix of Virginia with several different cuts of leaf mixed into a product that fills a bowl quite well and does not end up being sucked into the mouth of the smoker as the bowl tamps down. The flavor is of black cherry with some cream in it. The room note is very pleasant. I should also add that the black cavendish burley does not bite the tongue even when puffed vigorously. I don't have the slightest idea why this tobacco has not been given a good review up to this point. I recommend it to anyone who wants a dry aromatic that doesn't foul up a pipe.

| I totally agree with Eule, this is not an unpleasant smoke but falls well short of what I expected from Rattray's. I was sure a quality Virginia taste with a discreet topping would present itself. Never happened with this stuff. I've been bamboozled!

| I don't so much find it fruity as nutty-sweet; essentially a Dutch/Danish aromatic, slightly more flavoursome than a Mac. Not unpleasant.
