Allegro Mixture #4 is a blend of Virginia and burley, topped with mango fruit flavoring and vanilla. The pouch aroma is interesting, and the tobacco has a good appearance, being mottled browns and golds with occasional flecks of black. The moisture level of the blend is just about right. The tobacco lights easily, and also is easy to keep lit. It provides a pleasant room aroma as well. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of good I can say about smoking it. I've eaten enough mangos to know I don't dislike them, but somehow the intrusion of their flavor upon tobacco is wrong. From start to finish, the mango flavor forces its way past the other ingredients. To me, it was not a pleasant experience. After smoking this blend, I tried a second pipe. Same results. I then thoroughly cleaned both pipes, including a liberal use of alcohol in the shank and bowl. I want mango to go.

I know this is supposed to have Vanilla in it and I don't doubt that it does, but I couldn't find it. For me it was tuti-fruti throughout. I would strongly suggest you try this blend in a pipe you rarely use. I smoked it last night and my pipe still smells from it, even if I pass by the desk where it is resting I can smell it. For people who like cherry and other fruit flavorings I would say, try this. But if that is not your type of blend generally, stay away from this. It is also costly and I can think of similar blends that are much better and less expensive, like Lane's BCA
