Like another reviewer said the tobacco indeed looks a bit like 'cornflakes'. It smells sweet, a bit like flowers. It reminded me a bit of Kentucky Bird. The tobacco can be used straight out of the tin. No drying is needed. It lights up easily and does not burn hot. It is a nice tobacco, but there are a lot better aromatics out there. So for me no more then 2 stars.

On the plus....it's cheap.

I'm normally a Va/Per smoker about 90% of the time, for some reason felt like cracking a tin of something totally different while not making me gag down a heavy latakia blend. I also don't smoke aromatics much at all, maybe three bowls a year, and this will be my first of '08.

Not as nice as MacBaren Vanilla Cream in my books, less bitey though, and still a decent aromatic if you're in the mood for it and don't want to upset the neighbors with a foul smelling latakia blend.

Sunday's Fantasy is a wild cut of sopping wet leaf smothered in casing. It burns hot and steamy and was a bugger to keep lit. Aromatic lovers who can smoke slow may find a wafting of something pleasant in this blend. My poor abused tongue just never managed that trick.

The aroma is predominantly vanilla, but with a generous shot of fruit as well, different to most other armatics in this style. People comment how pleasant it smells, so it's doing something right.

Taste is mild, mostly pleasant, but becomes a little hot and steamy at the end. I find this with most cavendish aromatics. Smoked gently it is quite enjoyable, and I occasionally buy it again.

Because of the wild cut tobacco in this mixture and it's subsequent very loose nature, careful packing is required. Because I use the pinch method this doesn't present too much of a problem.

lighting is a synch; one carring light, a reasonably firm tamper, another light and that's it! Burns evenly to the bottom of the bowl. Doesn't burn as fast as some aromatics.

The taste is delicious: you can detect even amounts of sweet, very high quality virginia leaf and a casing of peach that isn't too faint or sweet and sickly. Not gloopy at all and smokes quite dry.

I'm told the room note is wonderfull. On the downside it does burn a bit hot and can bite the tongue, throat and palate quite badly if you're not careful; slow and even drawing are required! It's very mild in the nicotine department but still requires regular resting to avoid being bitten.

Pros: Wonderful fruity aroma and taste. Near perfect moisture content. No change in taste upon re-lights and smokes evenly and quite slowly for an aromatic.

Cons: Burns hot and does require very careful packing.

A very high quality blend that tastes and smells great but watch it's bite! If you like aromatics that are not too sweet and gloopy, this could be the blend you're looking for. A wonderfull, light smoke.

When lighting, the first thing I noticed was a piquant mildness that, yes, eventually lead to a mild case of tongue bite. The rich flavour was also evident from the very beginning, and remained so for the rest of the smoke, lingering on the palate (and nostrils!) for quite some time. Yet it did not really burn hot (like many MacBarens). Very tasty and perfumed, it however managed to deliver enough tobacco taste to make it, IMO, worthwhile, though at one point I was not sure if I was smoking pipe tobacco or Earl Gray tea (nutmeg? bergamot?).

A very refined, but unnecessarily mild smoke, Sunday Fantasy is a unique tobacco. I would recommend it to those novice pipe smokers who are looking to move on from typical drugstore blends, or as a change of pace for more experienced smokers seeking to indulge, once in a very long while, in original cased flavours with a hint of tobacco.
