This was uninteresting at first, but the more I smoked it the more I came to enjoy it. House Reserve tastes American in that it has a bit of codger essence/flavor to it. At first I thought it tasted similar to Sir Walter Raleigh, but later I found it to be it's own unique experience.
In certain pipes, the nutty/cocoa of the burley would shine, but in most pipes the virginias were what I tasted the most. You can't taste the cavendish, but it must add to the blend's smoothness and body.
I don't get a molasses flavor on the topping, but I do get a dark fruit/plum note. I thought the topping flavor was similar to that of Peterson's University Flake or Sherlock Holmes albeit still different. At times, the flavor could venture into rum territories but booze was not a quality I got immediately and regularly with this blend.
All in all, I liked it. Given the opportunity to buy it again, I would pass.
