I really like this blend. It doesnt have too much of an aromatic taste, a little underlying carmely butter scotchy topping and a nice tobacco taste. Simple and good for nearly every occasion when a non english is desired. Perfect fall smoke in my opinion.

Well, it's been almost a year since I have even smoked an aromatic and on a complete nostalgia-fueled whim, I decided to order a pouch of Troost Aromatic Cavendish from Watch City Cigar. (And with all the poor reviews here, I was certainly questioning my own sanity about the decision!)
To my surprise, this is a very nice aromatic. My pouch was nicely compressed into a thick candy bar shape and the moisture content was close to the ideal. I took out a clump, spread it out on a piece of paper and it was good to go after about 30 mins.
Taste-wise, it's mild tobacco-y with a light fruity casing that's definitely not overly done with sweetness. The aroma is especially nice and possibly the nicest thing about the blend - some wood smoke with a just touch of classic aromatic sweetness - I would call it Aromatic "Mature" so if you favor English blends like I do, you might actually like this blend for a light change of pace or warm weather blend.
All in all, despite the low scores here, my experience has been just the opposite so I’m glad I took the plunge - this blend smokes cool and without any tongue bite. (I do smoke aromatics in 9mm filter pipes to minimize the possibility of tongue bite and I also smoke at a leisurely pace.)
I find this blend somewhat similar to Sail Aromatic (Green) and Amphora Full Aroma so this is a great alternative, allbeit at a much higher price.

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.
