| This one is a real surprise to find on this list, because I don't normally like aromatics and this one is very much so. It's totally different from every other tobacco on this list, and is such a unique taste experience that I'd urge anyone to try it at least once, just for the experience. According to the tin, it is flavored with "rum punch", whatever that might be, but in smoking it produces a very friendly and flavorfully sweet taste, with an almost tangy flavor. It reminds me of some mad combination of tangy candy and fruit punch... which normally would make me gag to think of as a tobacco blend, but this one doesn't. In fact, it's tremendously enjoyable, and one of the first tobaccos I'd reach for to give to the beginning smoker. It does turn a bit moist on me as I near the bottom of a large bowl, but it's very well mannered indeed compared to most aromatics out there. Worth mentioning is the great smelling smoke, which not only pleases crowds but sometimes makes them ask for more!
