Cobblestone Walnut Maple Pie

The burley is very earthy, woody, and nutty. It is the lead component. The Virginia provides some tart and tangy citrus, bread, sugar, grass, light earth, wood, and a floral note as a supporting player. The creamy sugary black cavendish is almost as obvious as the red Virginia. The maple walnut toppings tone down the tobaccos quite a bit without frowning them out. The walnut is a little more prominent than the maple. The strength is in the center of mild to medium. The nic-hit is a step behind that. The taste is a rung below the medium mark. Won’t bite or get harsh. Barely has any rough edges. Burns cool and clean at a moderate pace with a very consistent, rich sugary, nutty, maple, fruity flavor that extends to the short lived, pleasant after taste. The room note is pleasant. Leaves little dampness in the bowl, and requires an average number of relights. An all day smoke. Three and a half stars.

Finding a new aromatic that is particularly nice is a very pleasant surprise. Gifted a tin of this by a coworker for Christmas, I wasn't sure what to expect. Cracking the tin I was greeted by a strong wave of maple, wet walnut and burley. In the smoke I don't pick up much tobacco other than some burley toastyness which pairs well with the big wave of walnut, maple sweetness finishing up. Reminds me a lot of old McClelland Holiday Spirit. A very nice, sweet, well balanced aromatic, it has floated itself near the top of my favorite aros. A pleasant surprise to be sure!

This is a very pleasant aromatic. I love the walnut back notes and maple smell. It didn't bite and stayed lit till the end. It's not a bomb of flavor but is smooth and relaxing.

I’m always a bit confused by the myriad words used to describe wine or tobacco. Maybe they are helpful to some. We have to accept that flavoring comes across differently to different people. Now, I only smoke outside because I want to stay married. So room note is always less pronounced. This tobacco was fine. Some maple and smooth burning. The walnut was more present than the maple but the backbone Virginia and Burley were tasty. I rate from very good to good plus to good to ok to so so to awful. This is a good. Most people have some kind of rotation. I’m unsure whether this offering will get there.
