Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG) Troost Aromatic Cavendish

Not a great tobacco and not a bad tobacco. I enjoy it though

An unremarkable tobacco that tends to burn hot. I would choose most "drug store" tobaccos over this. There's really not much of a taste, nor strength, nor flavoring. It sort of tells you that you smoked a pipe. It's sort of an "emergency rationing" of pipe tobacco. On the plus side, it has a fairly long burn.

Licorice.

If you can imagine smoking a Twizzler, you'll have a good idea of how much you'll enjoy this blend.

I like licorice....but not in my tobacco.

The underlying leaf is pretty good and the price is right.....it's too bad that the casing is so annoying.

You folks who live in civilized nations, where Troost Slices are available, are the lucky ones.

Pass.

I only could try this one in a pouch. Long pieces of partially rubbed flakes. The aroma was somehow sweet with the grassy undertone of VAs.

As it was rather dry in the pouch, the lighting up was not a problem. The smoking experience, on the other hand, was rather unpleasant. I guess it would be a lot better in a tin (as is the case with the Special CA) which is really worth the try in a tin).

Let's say it made no imperssion, durable or not, on me.

recommended for beginner smokers as myself. missing burley in the content saying its in there according to some dutch sites that sell the tobacco. broken flake is easy to pack the pipe, packing the pipe it smells somewhat grassy/hay. burns well and not too hot the taste is sweetish/butterscotch there is also some tobacco flavor. it could be a nice all day smoke, has no tonguebite. i would even go sofar to say that if you cant get troost slices this one is a good 2nd. this tobacco will in my rotation for sure.

I recommend this as an ideal pipe tobacco for someone starting out smoking a pipe.

I started off on my wonderful pipe journey by smoking this tobacco.

Recommended for a new pipe smoker.

Years ago, this used to be my regular tobacco for "all day" smoking. Revisiting it recently, I was somewhat disappointed -- perhaps my palette has become more demanding from smoking more expensive blends. It has more tongue & throat bite than I expect from a mild Dutch Cavendish. The flavour has little character, although that can be a plus for an everyday smoke. On the good side, the pouch is fresh at just the right humidity, the burn is even, and the flavour & room note have no overwhelming fruitiness or cloying aftertaste. An OK tobacco for the new smoker, although perhaps a little harsh. Qualified recommendation - 2 1/2 stars.

i had one pouch of this tobacco a few year back and it was the only one that i bought,i didnt like it that much.however i may go back to it to see if there is any differents,i may have been wrong,and just maybe i need to try it again,although im not that hopeful.

A middle of the road aromatic, which in some ways is annoying because the thing an aromaphile seeks from a blend is often a bold statement. Pleasant enough, but I couldn't find anything to shout about. I agree with the comments about its dryness although it matters little at the end of the day.
