If you're looking for an aromatic with decent tobacco flavor, you can do worse than Solani Blue. I'm normally not an aromatic smoker, but I can enjoy a bowl of this on occassion when I'm around company or need to "freshen up" the smoking room.
This blend is heavily cased, but still manages to burn well. There is a substantial helping of Virginia tobacco here, so it does have the potential to bite. Flavor is a decent mix of sweet Virginia and cavendish as well as nutty burley, with a slight touch of Perique fruitness. (The normal spiciness of Perique is absent, however, leading me to wonder if the tobacco was cased with "Perique Juice").
Room aroma is vanilla and fruity, and is definitely tolerable to all but the most rabid of non-smokers. I also detect a "coconut" type smell/flavor as well. The aroma does come through in the taste, especially in the first half of the bowl. The aromatic components will cling to a pipe, so smoke this in a piece dedicated to aromatics.
I don't know if I'll buy any again soon, but for a tinned flavored tobacco, it's not a bad choice.

As a fan of Solani 633, I was interested to try Solani Blue as part of my unceasing efforts to find a tasty aromatic to smoke around my wife. Solani Blue is not a bad tobacco--it is well-cut and -blended, and smokes dry and cool--but for me there was too much burley bitterness dodging around in the foreground shortcake taste. Like many aromatics, it also leaves a bad aftertaste. If you are an aromatic fancier, I can recommend Blue as a quality tobacco. If you're crossing over from Virginias and English blends, I don't think you'll find the taste you're looking for.
