Barclay-Rex Diplomat
(2.50)
A blend that will please the smoker and non-smoker. A cross of Virginia and Burley blended together with a toasted Cavendish to give an excellent taste.

I occasionally smoke this when I'm watching TV with my wife. She loves the aroma more than anything I have ever smoked. (I bought this solely for my wife, who smelled it in a tobacco store and loved it.) These caveats aside, I can say that Diplomat is a pretty good aromatic that smokes well and cooly with a light sweet flavor. There is no bite and not much gunk when you're done. It is a typical American aromatic, though, and hardly the blend to keep you going when you want a real smoke.

Overall a very pleasant sweet smelling, but not sticky, aromatic, with a bit of actual tobacco flavor and body peaking out. I had hoped for a little more complexity, given the list of aromas/tastes listed by the maker; it's really just a dark cavendish, so mostly creamy vanilla, with a hint of toast and nut. I could smell a little liquor in the bag, but missed it in the actual smoking.
Smoked all the way down to a fine grey ash with just a few relights and no moisture in the bowl. Nice aftertaste reminiscent of Sugar Smacks. Three stars.
