The gold Virginia cavendish offers grass, citrus, a couple of drops of honey and light bread as it forms the base of the blend. The sugary black cavendish is a supporting player. The liquor toppings are hard to define, but they are very mild. I get a sense of marshmallow, vanilla and coconut along with very slight alcohol note. Whatever citrus is in the topping, they seems to meld with that of the Virginia. The toppings lose a little of what strength they possess (it isn't much) after the half way point, and the mild tobacco flavors are more obvious. The strength, taste and nic-hit are very mild. Won’t bite or get harsh. Needs a light dry time, but burns at a reasonable pace, smooth and cool with a very consistent flavor from top to bottom. Requires some relights. Leaves a little moisture in the bowl, but no dottle. Has a lightly lingering, pleasant after taste and room note. A tame, fairly innocuous all day work and play smoke that you don’t have to think about much. Two and a half stars.

I am not much of an aromatic smoker, but Gramercy Park is a fantastic addition to that genre. It is mostly golden cavendish with a sprinkling of black thrown in, and is mildly flavored with liqeurs and some sort of fruit topping. It burns nicely, doesn't bite, and is not goopy.
There is a refreshing and light sweetness to this blend, and a slightly tart element that keeps it interesting. This is the exemplar of the high-quality aromatic, in my view, and deserves much more recognition than it gets.

P&W's distinctive Cavendish, with a pretty heavy fruit topping and a bit of coconut oil in the background, like the aftertaste from a Mounds bar. This stuff is very sweet, but never cloying. It's clearly top-grade -- it never bites -- but too rich for my blood. The aroma will linger in your pipe but one or two bowls of even a mild crossover blend will get rid of it.
I prefer English blends and tried Grammercy Park in the hopes of finding something with an acceptable room-note. In the event it seems inoffensive to the tobaccophobic nose of my wife -- I just wish that I liked it more myself. It's like a well-prepared but heavy dessert. If you like fine, sweet aromatics, then you'll love it.
