Didn't expect much from this blend, but I was pleasantly surprised by its full-bodied flavor. It's very similar to Captain Black, but just a touch more mild, and that's not a bad thing. Similar pouch note as well -- vanilla and figs.
Moisture levels in the sealed pouch were perfect -- not too wet nor dry. I was able to smoke it right away with no issues. Like other blends in this genre, it needs to be smoked deliberately and carefully to avoid tongue bite.
Vanilla and black cavendish take up the vanguard here, with an undertone of bright Virginias. Uncomplicated and pleasant, Hero's Blend is easily worth trying if you're a Virginia/Cavendish fan and want something simple and sweet to chill out with.

The pouch says Virginia and cavendish. That’s what I taste too. The aroma from the pouch is raisin, hay, honey. Surprisingly not sticky or wet. The moisture was perfect.
The taste is sweet bread, raisins, honey, vanilla, slight tartness. It tastes like a sweetened Virginia ready rubbed. It’s good. I pushed it a bit on a walk and it started to bite so careful. Smoked fine with little relights. stayed pleasant through out the bowl. Nicotine is very mild. I’ll enjoy this blend a lot. Especially because I got this on sale at P&C for like $3. If this goes on sale it’s worth a buy if you like aromatics.
Comparing this to 1Q this is larger pieces of tobacco, dryer, and has more Virginia tobacco flavor.

Its ok. Not what I'd think a Hero's blend would taste like. Think 70% C.Black Gold, and 30% RLP6. Its ok. I fell it's kinda gimicky personally. Like I kinda got hornswoggled into buying something that is just a relable. Like many wineries do. You've already had something like this. A product by Lane, so....
