There are two types of aromatics. The most common consist of low grade tobacco slathered in synthetic food grade flavorings. They are wet, way too sweet, and when the tobacco flavor does come through, it is awful... Gramercy Park belongs to a different category entirely. Take good quality leaf and enhance it with liqueur and natural essences, and you have a pipeful of pleasure. Grmercy Park is mildly sweet, and just a little tart, very much like the real fruit it is flavored with. When the tobacco flavor comes through, there are no regrets. An absolute must for the connoissieur of fine aromatics.

Yes, very nice, indeed. The delicious, easy to take vanilla/marshamallow based Wilke Cavendish with lots of pleasing fruity essences that only master blender, Carole Burns can bring off. I'm too much of an English smoker these days, and I'm really into the C & Ds, specifically, Serads. But when the mood strikes for an excellent, creamy, toasty aromatic, this is a winner. Much nicer and less goopy than even the McClelland American aromatics, which I really like as well. A unique blending accomplishment. Try this for dessert with a steaming cup of coffee with hazelnut cream. Three of five stars

Oh, my my. This is a really sophisticated blend for the aromatic afficianado.It is very smooth and almost velvet like on the tongue. It has one of the best Vanilla flavorings I have ever tasted.I don't know what liquers they are using but they are truly superior. This is for the "Frangelico" crowd. It is sweet, but not not sticky or goopy.The best analogy I can give is the following: This is what Pipes and Cigars' "Butternut Burley" was supposed to be. You will not be disappointed with this wonderful aromatic offering.NOBODY DOES AROMATICS LIKE WILKE!!! IMHO they are incapable of making a bad aromatic.4 of 4 aromatic stars!

POUCH: Fruity, with sweet vanilla overtones. Mildly nutty as well. Perfect moisture content. PACK: Packs well, fine ribbon. Stays springy. LIGHT:Lights easily usinbg the char plus two method. Burns to a fine white ash. Two more lights usually get me through the bowl. SMOKES: First half is sweet and smooth, vanilla comes through as does the fruity/nutty flavor. Mid-bowl the VA kicks in a little more obviously. Still cool, but with true tobacco flavor. Bottom of the bowl is still cool, although relighting is needed here. Stong VA begins to feature that toasty note I look for.This blend has a small amount of black cav which I think enhances the VA quite nicely. Reminds me a little of a finer grade of Capt. Black Gold. TONGUE BITE: Very little. Towards bottom of bowl perhaps a little more due to more relighting. Overall, very cool and dry. ROOM NOTE: Very pleasant, nutty vanilla notes. No complaints from the wife or kids! :) This is a lightly aromatic room note. COMMENTS: Like almost all the Wilkes I have tried, a very pleasant smoke. I like this early in the day or if I am in a small space. It is flavorful, but not overpowering and with the lightness of room note it is a crowd pleaser. This would be agood introductory blend for the novice. It is cased just the right amount and is an easy smoke. A solid three stars!!
