A fine continental cavendish mixture enriched with honey, with a sweet aroma. Rapidly increasing in popularity. The blend has been recently upgraded to give a brighter appearance and smoother smoking.

I tried this once, and once was enough. This is tobacco is truly awful. It's suposed to taste like honey but comes across like a horrid artificial concoction made by plastic bees. I've been eating honey since I was a small boy and I've never ever come across bad honey until now. I've tried many different tobaccos and this is the only one that I can say I actually hate. The wife said it smelled like burning tyres and banned me from smoking it in the house. Avoid.

This is a tobacco completely lacking in distinction. The (rather artificial) honey-like fragrance that you get when you first open the tin doesn’t carry over into the smoke, which tastes of nothing at all; it’s also very hot, partly because its lack of flavour and body makes you puff too hard to try to get something out of it. If this blend has recently been upgraded, I can't imagine what it was like before. I can't think of a single redeeming feature that one might mention in mitigation of this underwhelming stuff (apart, perhaps, from the fact that it comes in a nice tin). A waste of money; very definitely not recommended, unless you like a tobacco that is totally without character or personality.

Interesting, somewhat sour/sweet, tin note.
Very light flavour.
Not much nicotine.
Burned OK, Smelled OK.
Not a lot more to say about it. Left my throat feeling a little rough. Odd, for such a mild tobacco...

Sigh! I bought a tin of this a year or so ago, because I recalled smoking it some years before and really enjoying it. What a disappointment; it manages to combine blandness with fearsome tongue-burn. I had to add about half a ton of pure Latakia just to give it some flavour and slow it's burn down.
Maybe it's just rose-tinted spectacles, but I really do remember liking this one in the past. Has the blend changed?
Avoid it, and try a decent aromatic. Or anything at all!
