This is one of the few tobaccos I have tried that my wife likes the smell of and that says quite alot. She has serious issues with anything that smells much like straight tobacco which is unfortunately what I like to smoke. She absolutely hates the smell of regular Prince Albert claiming it smells like cigarettes to her. It seems to be, in a twist of irony, regular Prince Albert with some toppings added. While aromatics are not exactly my own taste, the fact that the room note is so sweet will make me smoke this more around the house to appease my wife. I find it nowhere near as goopy or overpowering as many aromatics which is a huge plus for me. It burns as well as the regular Prince Albert which I also like very much. Another benifit to this blend is it's very low cost. The toppings mask the tobacco smell leaving only a scented aroma without ruining the smoke. I recommend it for any cheapster, like myself, who needs to accomodate the sensitive nose of another person.

I purchased a pouch of this at a local tobacco store. It looks and packs like any P.A. blend. Lights easily and stays lit. As for taste, it just wasn't anything to rave about. Tastes just about like any mass produced cherry flavored drug store tobacco. Not particularly a pleasant experience. I won't finish the pouch.

Regualr PA is my favorite Burely. Not being an aeromatic smoker, reviewing this is like a double edged sword. A lot of pipers have a tendency to review types of tobacco's that they know they do not like. Burley blends, burely based blends and Aeromatics fall into that catagorie. Many reviewers either complain casings are to strong with an overwhealming flavor and a lack of tobacco taste, or about the casing being so subtle, they don't taste them (the casings) but only the tobacco.
In any event being a fancier of good burley I gave this a try. While this is not what I would call a great tobacco, you can easily do a lot worse paying three times as much for a "premium" blend compared to this that is not any better.
This packed easy, burned even, smoked smooth and cool for me. The creamy nutty flavor of the burely dominates while subtle (and I stress subtle) hints of vanilla and cherry poked through at times. It did not bite at all. The people around me when I smoked this, commented on and enjoyed the aroma.
This is a simple, no frills burley blend with a tobacco flavor and very subtle casing. Not a bell ringer, but not bad by any means either. Since 9 ounces can be had for a little over 5 dollars, it's worthy of more respect than it gets.

I grabbed a pack of this when I was in a local cigarette shop. The combination of cherry and vanilla sounds quite enticing, does it not? At least I thought so, but I was somewhat disappointed. Not that this tobacco is bad, it just isn't good.
There is a mild cherry casing on the tobacco, but I couldn't detect any vanilla in it. It packed nicely and took a couple of lights and then I could smell the vanilla topping. The flavors blended nicely, but there wasn't much change over the course of the smoke. It would probably serve well as a "working smoke," that is, one that you smoke while you're busy so you don't have to think much about it. It stays lit pretty well, by the way.

This is a pretty good smoke. It is a very mild blend of cherry and vanilla. Some cherry or vanilla blends overwhelm the palate with too much casing and not enough tobacco taste but I think this blend has a nice compromise to its flavor. The pouch aroma has a very mild vanilla smell and the cherry is almost indiscernible. As you smoke it the cherry begins to assert itself but not too much, just enough for you too know it is there. The tobacco may not be of the highest quality but it works. The blend has a mild, sweet taste and the room aroma is very nice. The two flavors are blended together very well. If you want a nice, mild aromatic at an affordable price, then this will fill the bill.
