House of Windsor Hines Mixture T426
(2.00)
The culmination of over 150 years of Master blending experience, combined into one fantastic smoking tobacco. Marrying red and bright Virginias, burleys and a black fire cured cavendish with a secret coconilla Flavoring, makes this a great all day smoke with a wonderful room aroma.

Like Backwoods Piper, I am going to update my review of this blend by first saying that it tastes tons better dry. I, too, let my tin sit for a couple of years and it did dry out considerably. Thus, a cooler burn, a more appealing taste and yes, even a yearning for another bowl soon after the first.
Hines Blend is mostly Virginia/Burley with a generous touch of black fire-cured cavendish. The taste was nutty and a bit sweet. It reminds me somewhat of Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic in the taste department, but perhaps a shade sweeter.
It stays lit well and does not bite even a little bit.
So, get a tin, pop the top, put the plastic cover back on and wait two years (minimum) before firing it up.

Yummy aroma! As soon as you open the tin you smell chocolate! A piece of advice though,let this breathe for about 2 hrs. before smoking and you will be rewarded with a wonderful chocolatey taste.It has a very pungent dark chocolate flavoring to it with a hint of vanilla fading in and out.It is sweet but not goopy. It is not as good as their Cappuccino,but still quite good in its own right.I love House of Windsor aromatics they are all sweet,flavorful and not artificial tasting. Definitely for the chocoholic! The ladies will love you for it! 3 of 4 aromatic stars!

Initially I didn't care for this offering. After trying a bowl at a later date, I enjoyed the experience. My take on this blend is: A medium to strong aromatic Burley tobac with some flavored Cavendished, and a touch of Virginnia. If you are o.k. with Burley-based aromatics and don't mind a fairly strong tobacco, this is a good smoke. The back of my throat was definitely registering the strong Burley content. Not for the timid. 3 stars in the Burley/Aromatic category.

This is probably the most unusual aromatics that I have smoked to date. Upon opening the tin, you will smell a strong aroma of German chocolate cake. It's flavor doesnt disappoint as the "coconilla" flavoring is strong throughout the smoke. It burns to a white ash and doesn't goop up your pipe. This is what I would classify as a dessert smoke. Perfect at the end of a meal or anytime you want a tobacco with a lot of sweet, nutty flavor.
