This is the HOLY GRAIL of all aromatic pipe tobaccos!If you like American style sweet aromatics you MUST try this. It is a sweet black cavendish with a wonderful vanilla and spice flavoring.This is what all American aromatics have aspired to be.It is the mildest tobacco I know.It has no bite and a luscious and rich flavor.It leaves you craving another bowl.The room note will be appreciated by all .It is similar to Bohemian mixture ,only sweeter and less complex. A real treat when you have a sweet tooth.This has always been known to Wilke customers since the 80's.I requested this so as to share this treasure with pipers around the world.It is not on their website but ask Carole when you order a sampler and she will accommodate you. Happy Aromatic Puffing to all! 4 stars!

I must echo the review of SmokeKing David (2007, below). This is a perfectly fine and extremely mild black Cavendish blend and would do well for those who like ultra-mild aromatic blends. But for me this was just too light - nearly tasteless. Doesn't stand out in a field of outstanding Pipeworks & Wilke aromatic blends.
Positives are a nice room note and excellent performance characteristics (burns well, burns clean, plumes of puffy white smoke, no goop in the pipe, absolutely no bite). It's just difficult to be overly enthusiastic about such an extremely light tobacco.

Wow, this one is...different. Just ordered 8 oz. of this and upon opening the bag, I got a really different pouch aroma than I expected. This is definitely not a syrupy- sweet aromatic by any means; vanilla seems to be on the lighter side. It's the other note that I'm getting and it smells almost like a very light patchouli, believe it or not. I guess that's the 'spice flavorings.' If you've ever smelled an unlit Acid brand cigar, you'll know the aroma I'm talking about. Cigar stores will keep their Acid brand cigars well away from their other brands so that they don't pick up that spicy aroma and flavoring.
Nevertheless, this is quality tobacco, that's for sure, and it burns very well to the bottom of the bowl. Fortunately, that flavoring doesn't seem to affect the room note but it does come through on the palate a bit. Not unpleasant, just...different.

Not very sweet actually. It has more of a spicy exotic flavor and aroma. Not much vanilla at all. Since people are comparing this to the Bohemian for some reason, I must say that I do prefer the Bohemian.

i ordered two four oz. bags of tobacco from pipeworks, and they sent me a small sample of bleeker street. the pouch aroma was great, and the taste was mild, but tastey. this is a good all day smoke. i am ordering this with my next tobacco order.

This is a solid, black-cav aromatic. Not bad at all; but Pipeworks and Wilke makes much better aromatic blends.
