A rich, complex journey of black cavendish and bright Virginias, passing through regions of dark burleys and dark fired Kentucky, elevated by vanilla and dark rum. All aboard.

Cornell & Diehl - Belmont Station.
Note: bought from bulk.
It's more of a mixture than just a ribbon. In fact, my pouch included a few pieces that were headed for the bin, not my bowl! Because this came from bulk the hydration of a tin's moot to me, but this pouch was ready to smoke straight away.
The smoke? Can't say I'm a fan! The dark fired leaf ruins what could have been a pleasant experience, by giving an acrid top-note. Kentucky aside it would be a pleasant enough aromatic: the vanilla creates a creaminess whilst the rum gives a sweet piquancy; the rum's more discernible at the beginning of a bowl. The black Cavendish and Virginia play nicely together, in the usual Aromatic manner. The smoke, although not causing displeasure by being hot, causes me grief by biting; hard.
Nicotine: a spot above mild. Room-note: pleasant to tolerable.
Belmont Station? Because this is an aromatic I didn't want to risk soiling my Friday Altinok with it and filled a cob. I'm glad I took this precaution. One star:
Not recommended.

This is a review of the bulk version.
For C&D this is a really moist blend. Even after months in a jar (I found it when looking for something else) it was almost sticky. I let it set out for a couple of hours, but not much improvement.
This one is hard to review. It almost seems like there is too much going on in the blend. The aromatic portion is usually in the lead, but every once in awhile the fire cured pokes in on top. Personally, I'm not sure it fits in an aromatic like this.
It took a couple of relights. The further through the bowl I got there was a weird taste in my mouth, really noticeable in the last 3rd. Also the flavoring disappeared in this part of the bowl and it was really strongly dark fired.
I'm going to give this a try in a couple of other pipes, but so far I'm not a fan at all.
