W.O. Larsen Scarlet Passion
(2.93)
A superior aromatic mixture characterized by extra mild black cavendish tobaccos, mature Virginia and a touch of burley. It has been flavored with an extremely mild blend of sweet vanilla type flavors and fresh fruity notes to obtain a longmlasting taste and a very pleasant aroma. Easy to fill into a pipe, slow burning with a cool smoke.
Notes: Previously known as "Sweet Aromatic", it was renamed in accordance to EU regulations.

Have tried this on a couple of occasions, but don't really get into it at all. It burns well and keeps lit, but that's about the best that can be said for this tobacco.
It tastes too harsh and it leaves a stench behind that is horrible, it's like you can taste the smell afterwards.
Not many tobacco's have earned the pleasure of being dumped out in the bin, but this is pretty close. Will try it one more time to see if it grows on me, but probably not.

Sweet Aromatic is aptly named but that is not to say it is sickly sweet like so many other blends. It is nice enough, especially for a predominantly cavendish blend and any confirmed aromatic fan really ought to give it a try. I don't smoke aromatics too often and happen to like a different vanilla aromatic much better than SA, but that's a personal thing. In general though, Larsen's Sweet Aromatic is a decent bet to be one of the better vanilla aromatics out there and so it's a 3 star blend in my book.

UPDATE. I tried again this....thing in a Mastro Geppetto bent briar: no way, the worst thing I ever tasted. I lit it up, and immediately emptied my pipe after a terrible cherry covered gasoline taste.
A good reason to quit smoking! One of the worst things I ever encountered... not bad in the pouch, maybe too dry, but once lit I could only taste chemicals, had to put it down at half way because I was coming up with nausea..... not to forget tickling in my upper throat... not recommended at all. Stay away from this thing!
Una delle ciofeche piu ciofeche mai assaggiate. Nella busta l odore non era male, anche se troppo chimico, ma tant'è, acceso, dopo le prime tirate, ho dovuto posarlo perchè mi stava facendo venire la nausea, oltrea pizzicare il palato. Statene lontani.
