This is the first decent tobacco I've ever smoked as a new pipe smoker. I find it quite delightful, and look forward to smoking it each morning with my coffee. I've tried a few garbage pouch tobaccos before I decided to try this, and I am so glad that I did. I payed 10 dollars for a 2oz tin, which was sealed like fort nox by the way. It took a group of three of us to remove the lid off the the thing, but in the end I (the only smoker of the bunch) found the smoke quite enjoyable. Although it was quite moist I found it burned quite well throughout, and had absolutely no tongue bite. I will enjoy this tobacco for quite some time to come.

this is a pleasantly complex mix of alcohols, molasses, and vanillas. As the first blend i tried when picking up pipe smoking in earnest, my initial impression was, 'the flavors in this clarifies why people choose pipe smoking'...If you are going to try a gloopy aromatic, this would be the one to try, it is substantially better than the other gloopy aromatics

This is a classic, quality, vanilla aromatic. It is heavy cased/flavored blend. Very sweet. When I initially opened the tin it was close to goopy, but not quite goopy. The blend benefits form airing out as you repeatedly open the close the tin while smoking through it. However, it will always be wonderfully sticky when you pack a bowl. Much of the sweetness is from the black Cavendish itself which gives it the classic burnt-nutty undertone. Quality aromatic. Not exceptional from other standard, quality vanilla aromatics. I bought two tins, one is in my cellar. I usually smoke English/latakia and like a nice sweet aromatic like this, now and then, in the evenings. N.B. One of the new tins form South Carolina. I have a non-S.C. tin of 509 in my cellar from at least 2008. Saving that for my retirement.

A step up from Capt. Black-white. No bad traits. A bit moist as received but dries quickly. Three and one-half star Aromatic.

As someone who enjoys both aromatic and natural blends, I thought I'd give this one a try as a new "dessert" smoke and I was not disappointed.
509 smokes very cool and has a pleasant sweet taste to it. It is definitely a candy or dessert smoke rather than an all-day or any occassion smoke and while it is considerably stronger than many cased blends it is definitely not a high nicotine smoke.
This tobacco is very enjoyable for what it is, although it is certainly far too cased and simplistic to be my primary smoke I certainly enjoy it on some occassions and would purchase it again.
