If this was the last tobacco left on the earth I would quit. It is so stinking sweet that you will taste it for days. If you smoke it in anything other than a cob consider it ruined. The only reason I tried it was I liked their "cigars" when I was 13, I am glad my tasted have grown up a bit since. I am an experienced pipe smoker and noticed a considerable amount of bite. Please leave this one at the store.

The epitome of a drug-store, hyper sweet, goopy, cloying-vanilla-laden blend (or, if you prefer, the antithesis of what pipe tobacco should be).

I concur completely with the other reviewers. Middleton's aromatics are usually decent, if not exciting. This blend is unfortunately a perfect example of all that is wrong with drug store tobacco. If you must have an inexpensive aromatic, buy one of the giant "sack o' smokes" blends from a drugstore. It's cheaper, and tastes better to boot!

Captain Black wannabe knockoff. Too dry and it bites. Would rather smoke argosy or BCA. Don't waste your money.

To say that this is not my cup of tea is something of a colossal understatement. The flavor is of a vanilla cardboard mixed with catfood and elmer's glue.
Pure crap. Don't waste a SINGLE SHINY PENNY on this filthy crap. It is the breakfast of the damned.

My first dime store brand that didn't remind me of childhood. Eh, it tastes like tobacco flavored vanilla. Cheap crap. Ok for a bored smoke when taste is not as important as smoke.

Just because it can be found everywhere and it is inexpensive, doesn't make it any good. But because I didn't find it so bad when using a filter I can give it 2 stars. Might be good for someone starting out if they use a filter because it doesn't bite or get too harsh, but the filter does remove almost all the flavor; casing and tobacco. Otherwise, it would have to be the last thing available for me to smoke it on a rare occasion. Probibly would try summac before that though.

I must agree that this tobacco is a true drug dtore brand, it is also very sticky, Good Luck getting your bowl clean after smoking this, the first time i have ever tried this tobacco it was actually not so bad, I'm not sure what i liked better at the time the room note or the taste as for my second try that's when it was the worst the room note was still very good but as far as the taste your better off taking the ashes from the bowl and putting them in your mouth also the bite was way to strong, it would be less strong if you directly put your tongue on the lit tobacco itself, please do not do any of the above as it is only used as a description

This is a "drug store" tobacco that can be found almost anywhere. When I bought it, I just wanted to try something diffrent and new. The tobacco has a rather nice vanilla smell, but thats where it ends. The taste is rather nasty, and bites. I wouldnt recommend it. Your better of picking up one of Captain Black's blends.
