Reiner Professional
(2.93)
A fine Virginia, burley and black cavendish that is seasoned for weeks in oaken whiskey barrels. Topped with a nut type flavor. A milder blend for the aromatic smoker.

(a long sigh)...to err is human, is it not? Ah, brethren of the pipe, I am therefore...human. What would possess me to purchase a blend (an aromatic at that) that barely elicits one review a year? An aromatic was necessary...as I am not a bachelor and winter?s approach presently confines me to smoking indoors by the fire.
Unaware was I, that there would be more than one rampant fire within my den. Another reviewer of this blend had misgivings with calamitous heat in the briar...I suggest you all heed his defensible warning. I most sincerely echo his foreshadowing sentiment and lamentation.
Surely, a reflection on some merits is in order...let me ponder this. Oh yes, I somewhat like the appearance of the tin. Perchance something else......ah...the blend does have a brilliant aroma and the appearance of the rough-cut blend is certainly provocative and engaging to the eye. I may, therefore, fill a crystal ash try and display it as one would any other potpourri.
Not recommended...neither to friend nor foe alike.
Companion infusion: equal parts ice and water...the water would not be a requisite.

You either like an aromatic's scent and flavoring or you don't, it's entirely subjective. I don't care for this one, but that's just me. I will say that this has absolutely no tobacco flavor and not much nicotine. The room note while smoking is OK, I guess, but the residual scent (as in a car) leaves something to be desired. I had to toss mine after "aging" it for a couple of years. There was no improvement. Your tastes may differ.
Full disclosure: I'm not an aromatic-lover, but do like a few on occasion. This isn't one of them.

I really wanted to like this blend, however, no matter how much I tried I could not even tolerate it. In a nutshell: sickeningly sweet; raunchy finish; sticky wet goop and smokes like molten lava.
The taste is like apricot brandy that has been mixed with cheap strong perfume and sweat rung out from a pair of heavily-soiled underwear. This "hickory nut extract" tastes like the sweaty armpit of an unshowered athelete...(don't ask).
The temperature this blend smokes at is hot. "How hot?" you ask? How about "Hotter than Eva Longoria nude and covered with coconut oil"?
So if you like sweet sweaty searing smoke...go with this blend.
