This is the quintessential aromatic. Every aromatic smoker has had a similar blend. It reminds me of the Skandinavian blends I smoked in the 70's. I used to describe those blends as perfume-like. This is a much more civilized blend than they were and not really like perfume, but it reminded me of that. The taste is sweet, but not as sweet as this brands Vanilla 191, or their Rum Cake, both of which are a little too sweet for me. This burns very well right down to the last ash. The origin of the blend's taste remains a mystery; it is neither sweet from bean (vanilla, chocolate, coffee), nor from a fruit (cherry, peach or apple). What it is, is good. The aroma is really wonderful. I can't imagine anyone not liking the room note, but I have been fooled before. If you like aromatics, try this.

I rarely foray into the sphere of aromatics and, when done, it?s always with due trepidation....Pipeworks & Wilke Gramercy Park was worth any foreboding that I may have felt. Initially, I found the vanilla casing/topping too distasteful and distracting and was considering not completing the mere 4oz that I had. Afterwards however, I exercised a little more patience...by leaving the ?stuff? spread out on a sideboard to dry for at least thirty minutes. This proved to be the key to finding the clandestine passage to fully enjoying this high quality tobacco blend...a completely diverse and much improved smoking experience.
Now I understand the previous rave reviews.

This is another great aromatic from the P&W lineup. Great flavor, easy to smoke and just plain pleasant to experience. For a pipe smoker who is looking for a flavorful aromatic with superior smoking qualities, then look no further than any one of the P&W blends.
This is certainly not my Dad's old goopy cavendish! This tobacco is at the pinnacle of the aromatic genre.
Accompaniment: Vivaldi guitar concertos.

Yes, very nice, indeed. The delicious, easy to take vanilla/marshamallow based Wilke Cavendish with lots of pleasing fruity essences that only master blender, Carole Burns can bring off. I'm too much of an English smoker these days, and I'm really into the C & Ds, specifically, Serads. But when the mood strikes for an excellent, creamy, toasty aromatic, this is a winner. Much nicer and less goopy than even the McClelland American aromatics, which I really like as well. A unique blending accomplishment. Try this for dessert with a steaming cup of coffee with hazelnut cream.

Gramercy Park has been around a long time and every couple of years when I make a P&W buy of a few tobaccos, I always get a couple of ounces. It has a very unique casing that I enjoy. I admit that I don't usually smoke it straight as it is as mild an aromatic as you will find on the market today. But the sweetness is there to enjoy with every puff. And don't try drying out this blend before you smoke it. It won't.
