And you notion just crossed my mind... Ok I am a sucker for vanilla aromatics but most of them always end up in my "all things vanilla" jar due to some lack of flavor or depth and I hope mixing them all together will make a blend worthy of an all day smoke. *disclaimer* The above mentioned "all things" jar has been tried and yes it really did work!!!! Now back to why I am here- This blend is WONDERFUL!!! The blends hits me in all the right places! The flavor doesn't quit and never gets that burnt taste that is typical of many vanilla aros. The tobacco I let dry for maybe 15 minutes and then packed my pipe. It packed well and toasted right up and after tamping and relighting I was able to smoke to the bottom with maybe two relights. The room note can't be beat and didn't seem to hang around on my sweater. This was bought for me by my wife and I will be buying this for myself in the future!

Hero's Blend is "nice" in every way. Mild taste, mild room note, almost ZERO bite, burns relatively cool, little moisture, lasts a good while and doesn't require frequent relights. Not just for "experienced" pipe smokers, either. If you can pack a bowl well, you will get the most of this blend. The sweet Green River Burley and cavendish come through nicely. I could see this being someone's all-day smoke. But because it's so inoffensive, it lacks that big, defining character that other blends have. Reminds me of CB Dark, but less cloying. Really, it's hard to fault it because the perceived negative qualities are quite insignificant. Highly recommended.
