Paul Olsen Hipster
(2.00)
A full bodied blend where the base is 75% mellow and full Virginia, 20% perique, and 5% cavendish. Finally, a sweet toffee flavour has been added. Due to the amount of perique, this one can be quite powerful.

The mildly grassy, earthy Virginias also offer some citrus and dark fruit, and forms the base of the blend. Though they are 75% of the blend, they lead without dominating. The raisiny, plumy perique provides a routine spice hit as a supporting player. The unsweetened black cavendish sports a brown sugar note to tame any rough edges. The sweet toffee topping does sublimate the tobaccos, even though its taste is not forceful, and lacks depth. The nic-hit is almost mild. The taste level is not quite mild to medium. Won’t bite or get harsh. Burns cool and clean at a moderate pace with a fairly smooth and consistent flavor. Leaves little moisture in the bowl, and requires an average numbers of relights. Has a pleasant, very shot lived after taste. Is an all day smoke. Two and half stars.

Like the other reviewers, I was interested in this from the description. Perhaps because I've been smoking stronger blends lately, I didn't get a whole lot out of this one. For me, the most apt word for this blend was 'mild' -- mild tobaccos, very mild flavoring. The Perique was there, deep in the background, trying without success to add to the blend. The flavors were there, but barely noticeable. Someone used to smoking the milder-flavored Aros out there might get some pleasure out of this.
