Here's a blast from the past from The House Of Windsor. Although, I do not normally smoke aromatics, there are a few exceptions. This is one of them. The pouch aroma is loaded with flowery aromatics. In appearance, there are little chunks of what may be the Burley along with some small bright flakes, and some darker little chunks. At first, I was concerned about smoking this heavy aromatic. I filled a small Meerschaum and applied the flame. Ah! Welcome to smoking just for the fun of it. I do not taste the aromatic in the smoke. I taste tobacco, on the sweet side, but good tasting tobacco none the less, with a good amount of strength. And then comes the magic. This is one of the few blends that I can smell the aroma while smoking it. The aroma is pure magic. People in your presence will find the aroma just as enjoyable as the smoker. I find myself doing heavy puffing on this one, generating large clouds of wonder. No matter how hard I puff at it, there is absolutely no bite. There are two other fun aromatic blends that I smoke, and both are similar to Bourbon Street. One is again from The House of Windsor??-Field and Stream. The other is Pennington Gap from Cornell & Diehl. A caution is in order. Smoking any of these blends can create a very large smile, that if not careful, may cause the pipe to fall from your lips. Give this a try just for the fun of it. All I can say is Bourbon Street: Welcome Back.
