Uhle's Uhle's Irish Aromatic
(3.27)
A rich long cut of Burley, Cavendish, Virginia, Turkish, and Latakia tobaccos. These leaves are enhanced with the clean aroma of an Irish essence.
Notes: Clean with savory note, this blend is reminiscent of a mellow Irish Cream, but don’t serve this one over ice.

I was given a pretty good sample of this at this Chicago show this year. I chose this and the other as samples as they were the only blends they had on hand that I had not yet tried. I greatly enjoyed the other sample, but can't really say the same about this one.
This is pretty much what its name implies. An aromatic with an irish (cream) topping. There are only two other blends that I have tried that have this topping. The first is CAO Eileen's dream. ED is an incredible tasting aromatic that combines a medium topped aro with a great base of tobaccos that you can actually taste the whole way through.
This blend does not even compare to ED, but ED is a tinned blend and IA is a bulk, so in the interests of comparing apples to apples, the other I have tried is C&D's Nutty Irishman. This is a bulk blend that is less expensive than IA also topped with irish cream. NI is more heavily topped than both ED and IA, but has a decent amount of body backing it up from the C&D burleys. C&D true to its reputation for strong aros also delivers one in NI. I find that the IA lacks the body that both the C&D and CAO blends offer.
It is due to these comparisons that I give this a two star review. As an aro on its own, it is not a bad blend, but due to the particular flavoring, it begs comparisons to others and in this case it fails to live up to the competition. The topping is not that strong and the tobacco fails to provide enough body for my palate and the cost is prohibitive when compared to the superior (IMO) C&D product at a lower price.

Having gone through an ounce or so of this I can state that while there are some tobaccos from Uhle's that I keep around as regular stock items, this isn't one of them. It wasn't that I disliked it--I just didn't like it that much and there are many of their other tobaccos that I prefer. Primarily I like non-aromatic blends so many mild aromatic tobaccos just don't do it for me. You get a little more taste than with some of their other aromatics due to the the latakia, although it is a small component of the blend. I believe their description also includes burley. If you enjoy milder aromatics you would probably like this. It just doesn't have enough overall strength for me, however, and of Uhle's aromatic blends I much prefer the #300 or #255.
