Has a bit of vanilla and a touch of honey with very little tobacco taste. Can cause tongue bite, if you puff beyond a moderate rate. Has almost no nicotine. Burns moderately well, and leaves a little moisture in the bowl. Needs a few relights as it burns a little wet. The flavor fairly much holds to the finish, but gets a little syrupy near the closing. Has an okay after taste, and is an all day smoke.

This was my last stop after smoking TB jar-blends for years. I can't say that I can get past the unburnt aroma nowadays, but it was cool and not as bitter or cloying as Wilshire/1Q, Sunset, Black Russian, Nouget, Amaretto, North Sea, and whatever TB called its coffee-flavored blend.

Skilling is about Vanilla but be aware: it will never, ever leave a pipe after a couple of bowls.

Well, I like this a bit more than the average score here on TR. But not by much, and not really as a solo smoke. I ended up using mine as a blender as its mild flavorings and decent burn quality were fairly adaptable. But, in reading the other negative reviews, it seems there may have been some variability in quality depending on supply issues. Mine was as mild as a cup of warm milk, but the flavors themselves were relatively appealing: mild vanilla, honey and sassafras. Newb smokers could do worse.

I smoked this as a young man getting into pipes, and remember enjoying it. Then again, I mostly smoked pipes back then to look "cool," and I'm not sure what I'd think of it now.
