Slightly perfumey, slightly wet, lots of smoke, and a slight nip if rushed. Casing (more liquor/floral and less coco to me) seems to work OK with the burley here.

I thought I might have something different to say than the other reviewers, but I don't. My two cents would just like to add that Blue Note is readily available at most local tobacconists throughout the U.S. and not too wet - a very tolerable change of pace aromatic smoke for a lover of Balkan blends. One can certainly do much worse, as well as do better regarding choosing a sweet aromatic.
The taste: a chocolate & vanilla type of fusion. Typical though notable since it is not very wet, does not leave a bitter bite, and a natural tobacco taste is the the foreground. Most of the bowl can actually be finished with only 1 relight. All and all, I think it is the balance between strength and flavor that keeps this blend in contention. I would give it a 3 star for the lover of aromatics.

This is another vanilla cased Cavendish, however it does have a chocolate undertone with a hint of spiceness. The VA adds some natural tobacco sweetness and flavor. The room note is very pleasent. Not bad but not a bell ringer either.

Both of my extremely knowledgeable associates above have hit the nail on the head. This is a well done aromatic that will surely attract the ladies. I even had to try it out at Maker's Piano and cigar lounge in Oklahoma City listening to a performance by a jazz pianist! While I'm a sucker for marketing, I'm not sure this made the blend any tastier, but it did get me compliments from some very attractive young ladies. Better than Captain Black and not as good as old BCA, you could do much worse when it comes to candy tobacco.

As Pipestud said, this is in no way related to the CAO/Dan Tobacco blend of the same name.
What Blue Note is, is a well-done aromatic. It burns relatively dry, and has little propensity to bite. The taste reminds me of Captain Black Royal, or Nording?s Retriever. For overall quality, I would place it between the two, but closer to Nording than to Lane. (Need I say that the Nording is the better of the two?)
A vanilla cased Cavendish with a chocolate undertone and a hint of spice. Some natural sweetness is added by the Virginia. I like it, and the room note is a crowd pleaser.
Aromatic lovers will love it. English/Latakia lovers probably haven?t read this far.
