Summary: an aromatic concoction of Cavendish, Virginia, and Burley that is pleasant-smelling but somewhat flavorless.
This blend presents an archetypal aromatic: mostly a "half and half" style mixture of Burley and Virginia, with added Cavendish and a thorough topping with a mixture of what tastes like rum, fruit, vanilla, and possibly cinnamon. It burns easily and stays lit well, with the flavors of the topping persisting through the bowl, but has light Nicotine and very little tobacco flavor. If you like heavy toppings and a pleasant room note above all else, this might work for you, but otherwise it seems like a somewhat pointless exercise.

I will assume people are not lining up to buy this stuff, since my tin arrived in the mail with a thin coat of dust on top, but wow what a tin it was. The actual tin itself has a recessed lid (like a can of paint) and takes a screwdriver to pop open each time, so I felt like I found a tobacco tin inside a bygone era supply truck.
Clearly, the contents haven't seen fresh air in a good long time - there was a pungent aroma of cheap candy, damp cardboard, and sour fermented cherries, when opened. Now, I don't mind some strongly topped Aromatics, but this one smelled like a chemical plant. The cut was interesting, with super chunky pieces, half blonde, half black, that were quite wide and caused restricted air flow when moderately packed down inside the pipe.
Once going, which took several relights, all the casing/topping fought with each other and dominated the smoke in such a way, that it became bitter and gross, with only some Vanilla taste on the tongue afterwards. It was likely too much sugar blowing out your buds, disabling their sugar sensors.
Suffice to say, I did not like it, and will be gifting the rest away. The one saving grace was the nostalgic tin and 'manly' cut.
