This was one of the first blends from Uhle's I had when I started smoking a pipe. At that time I did not review blends, so I wanted to revisit it. During their pipe sale this week, I strolled over to the tester jars and shoe-horned some into my pipe.
It is billed as an aromatic, but I was hard pressed to detect much of a distinct flavor other than a general tobacco scent. Well no harm no foul. I gave it a go and a very mild nuttiness came through. For an aromatic I crave much more flavor.
Halfway through the shoe just didn't hold a flame and it took several relights. It was at this point I was getting a gross dry ashy smoke, so I tamped the rest out and called it quits. I guess no one won, since my gal wrinkled her nose at the smoke wafting about.
Maybe my pallete changed or I'm likely missing something others seem to enjoy, but this was a pass for me.
