I like this pipe tobacco ,very sweet with a medium body. at the first time tin opened tobacco is damp and too much fragrant , but after some time when the tobacco is more dry, the smoke is wonderful. i as relaxin tobacco . I smoke this after a dinner or after another smoke (ambasciator italico or originale) less sweet. Prosit

As noted by others, this tobacco is not for those who don't enjoy aromatics. Since I gravitate toward fruity aromatics, this one is right in my wheelhouse (although I hate that word).
I think I am addicted to this blend. Picked up a tin at my local B&M and it was love at first light. I would agree with those who noted a bitterness on the finish, but it is pleasant. Not unlike a good IPA. I am on my second 500 gram bag over the past 3 months. Yes, it's that good.
A warning though. It will fatigue your taste buds.

This is an incredible summer blend. Open the tin and anyone around you would notice the beautiful strawberry aroma. It is reminiscent of that strawberry popsicle that you had while spending the day on the beach as a kid.
The smoke is fairly similar. It is not wet or overly moist in any way, although keeping it in the tin for couple of weeks would only help reach the right moisture level before the flavor dissipates too much, in my opinion.
The strawberry (and maybe watermelon?) flavor stays with you throughout the smoke. It is really an excellent blend for what it was purposed for. If you're looking for the nuances of Virginia or any other tobacco varietals, this is not for you. This blend is purely aromatic. What you get is a strawberry flavor, and a very good one.
Mechanically, it is easy to pack, doesn't require more relights than average, the bowl and the smoke keep cool, and does not even come close to causing a tongue bite. Might be too special to smoke daily. If I'd smoke this all the time, I'd get bored and the uniqueness of this blend will be lost. Instead, a bowl after dinner here and there keeps this a real star.
The actual tobacco is very mild in body and strength and is fully dominated by the toppings. It is not complex and is very balanced without any rough spots or overly sweet. Just the right spot.
To summarize, if you're looking for an aromatic tobacco that provides pure fruity strawberry flavors without the wetness, struggle of lighting the pipe, or tongue bite, this is a fantastic blend. It is not easy to find in the U.S., but also not too difficult. I will get more of this in the future.

not a big aromatic person but this one is damn good. smokes very well and quality tobacco. I get more of a ripe red raspberry flavor from the cavendish and the familiar flavor of the Virginia. very pleasant desert smoke. tin and room note are awesome.

Smells great out of the tin! Strong berry smell, but not fake smelling (i'm looking at you, cheep cherry)
Top cased Aromatic. One of my favorites. Consistent Smoked fresh, no drying A little wet, smoked slow, no tongue bite

This is a wonderful aromatic blend with an extremely heavy casing of sweet forest berries, it tastes very fruity, sweet and creamy.
I find this tobacco very entertaining for the palate, it gives me a "happy feeling" and good mood.. , also it has an attractive room note. all in all this is the best fruity aromatic blend I have ever tried, I would highly recommend it for aro smokers.

Wow. As stated. You must love the aromatics for this blend. I like them but also virginias and strong English. This blend is a good one though. Very nice tin and room note. Smoke is cool, dry and flavorfull. I choo choo'ed it and still pretty smooth. Not alot of bite in other words. I would definatly recomend for the aromatic lover.

I cannot recommend this enough to fans of aromatics. It is strong enough to satisfy but still has a pleasant taste. The taste of wild berries is there but not over powering. This may be my new favorite for when I'm in the mood for an aromatic.
