This blend has two good things going for it. First, a pleasant pouch aroma that smelled like butterscotch/caramel. Second, a very appealing room note; although I had to put the pipe down, leave the room and return minutes later to appreciate this. After that, it reminded me of one of many Tinderbox aromatic blends I smoked many years ago. As a matter of fact, English Toffee is the TB blend I would compare this one to. Not much in the tobacco taste department, nor did I taste the casings. The all too typical chemical harshness came through which was not pleasant. Lots of moisture - and I'm sure even if bone dry, the casing would still break down and produce a gurgling bath in the bowl of the pipe. It wasn't totally bad, but it's too mild for my liking at this stage of my pipe smoking pleasure. Ok for beginners as there was no bite, but just not enough in the tobacco department for me. For when the mood strikes, but I'm sure not too often for me. 2 stars only.

another blend i purchased with irish creme tht i couldnt figure out what to comment about by all means,,,i cant say its a bad tobacco however some of the draw backs it possess is that it is a moist tobacco that burns a bit on the harsh side if not puffed on very slowly,,the room note wasnt that rewarding either, it is a cheap offering nevertheless and you can taste the sweetness if extra attention was paid by slow smoking. cannot say that i will purchase it again only if there are no other options.

I dunno, I like this tobacco for what it is but, I don't care for the use of humicants in any tobacco. But here goes. The pouch smell was, to me, musty. A pleasant, familiar mustiness like that of a cool root cellar. I got that same flavor of mustiness about half way down the bowl. This has a nice, not too sweet top flavor. Seems to be quality tobaccos throughout. It stayed lit, never bit and finished clean. A VERY nice room note and all-in-all a very satifying smoke. Now...on to the negatives. Why the hell do tobacco manufacturers think they have to poison tobacco with PPG and other humicants!? This tobacco could easily be one of the best 3 star aromatics around if they would just make it in smaller batches so they didn't have to warehouse 6 tons of the stuff and worry about it drying out.

There was'nt a lot of true tobacco taste here for me, but this was much better than the other samples I recieved from Altadis,this seems like a halfway decent aromatic offering.The room note was decent as well.

This is a great social smoke, the room note is to die for. The taste of the tobacco is heavily cased and strong in vanilla and liqueur. I will agree with the previous reviewers that this is probably the best Altadis aromatic. One word of caution, if you smoke it too fast the decent taste turns bitter. I also think like all Altadis aromatics, the casing is a bit rough around the edges.

The flavor and room note of this tobacco is positively delicious. I really don't like strongly flavored tobacco, but this one is a nice change of pace, like a rich dessert that you order once in a great while.
The pecan pie of pipe tobacco. Exemplifies the Law of Diminishing Returns. The more you smoke, the less enjoyable.

Blue Note was a pleasant surprise. It burns well and stays lit. The flavor was mild. My wife commented on how much she liked the room note. An excellent tobacco for the aromatic lover, the beginner, and the veteran pipe smoker who is looking for something different.******* 10/25/2006 While this may have appealed to me at one time, I can no longer smoke itor any other heavily cased aromatic. I do still enjoy the occasional "quality" aromatic, like Glen Piper, but the Altadis offerings have too much casing.

I finally got around to trying this from the sampler; I wasn't too impressed. I found it to be somewhat "bitey" through the whole smoke. The second half of the bowl did produce some oriental flavors but they were very mild. I could taste the burley, but it seemed more bitter than nutty. It was one of the less heavily cased of the samples. All in all not one that I will try again
