W. O. Larsen - Limited Edition 2016.
This is a blend that works well, VERY well, but there is however one huge problem for me: opening the tins inner pouch! I've never encountered a seal that's so hard to break L.O.L!
Anyway, I didn't know (like a few fellow reviewers) if this collaboration of ingredients would be good or not. As it goes, it's one of the better aromatic blends I've piped. Although the casing's fairly heavy, it's not claggy, I get quite an even split between the ingredients: the coffee and caramel go together impeccably, with the coconut adding an exotic twist. The vanilla's omnipresent throughout a bowl, it works like the building blocks for the added taste: nothing flash, but a firm foundation.
This would be a perfect blend for those with a sweet tooth who don't like fruity blends.
Highly recommended.

I have only a three bowl sample from our pipe club in which to base my opinion of the new Limited Edition 2016 from W.O. Larsen. At first appearance, it easy to tell that it a “higher end” aromatic with quality tobaccos and a lovely smell that’s good enough to eat. Although the flavor profile is different, the appearance made me immediately think of Sillem’s Red or Green. Breathing through the unlit pipe it is coffee all the way. As aromatics go, it is pretty dry to the touch, always a good sign. I didn’t think that coffee & Vanilla along with coconut would work well together, but they do. The coffee and vanilla remain fairly constant and the coconut wafts in and out nicely. The coconut shows a greater presence as the bowl progresses. It burns dry, leaving no goop at the end of the bowl. I haven’t had the pleasure of trying the others in the Limited Edition series, but now I wish that I had. The 2016 is a pleasant aromatic that is worth the extra cost and the tin is pretty darn nice too!

This stuff is awesome. I love it. Larson always seems to find that perfect balance of true tobacco taste and flavoring. You can never go wrong with a W.O Larson.

Belgian Waffles covered in all natural Canadian maple syrup, toasted pecans, toasted coconut, with a cup of black coffee. A wonderful breakfast blend.
Smokes slow and cool. The flavor heightens along the bowl, and leaves no gunk in the heel. This stuff is absolutely great as is true with all Larsen blends.

This is my first purchase of this brand and I absolutely fell in love with it! I will experiment with other flavors and brands. I also smoke 245 ZBC and Macanudo cigars.
