pipesandcigars.com Scotty's Trout Stream

I found this to be a delight to smoke. The secret to my enjoyment with this is my love of the topping used. I just could not get enough of the smell both coming off the pipe and that which clung to me for a while after the smoke.

It also has a fine amount of nuttiness accompanying the butterscotch like topping. The fit between topping and the natural nutty sweetness of the burley is just made in heaven to my tastes. Highly recommended.

Very nice aromatic, with a balanced use of the Black Cavendish and the natural Burley. It has a very enticing aroma in the pouch, and it smokes well, leaving a wonderful butterscotch/vanilla aroma, but without being goopy or leaving excessive traces on the pipe. Perfect for a stroll in the woods (mind the bears and the bees, though), or for a cold Autumn evening next to the fire.

A great fall-time smoke. Maple/Butterscotch flavor isn't always something I crave, but when I do this is the one. No tongue bite, great taste, great smell, great all around. I dry it overnight and with that it stays lit well and burns all the way to the bottom. One of my favorites.

As a pipe smoker for over 40 years and after searching for that one PERFECT pipe tobacco for many years I may have found one I can finally call "My Precious". Sorry, just a little of the Hobbit DNA coming out of me. Trout Stream is one of the most mild, mellow and smoothest tasting pipe tobaccos I have ever encountered, this side of the Shire! Mind you it isn't Ole Toby, but it's close! I find it hard to not like everything about it. It has the cut I like, packs great, lights easily and stays lit well, and has a very nice room note that is not over bearing as some aromatics can be. My only suggestion would be that they add just a touch more flavor to spice it up a bit as I find it has a somewhat bland taste. I'm not sure what they could add as I'm not a tobacco blending expert, perhaps a touch of Perique? I found that it came very fresh with just the right amount of moisture to pack easily and stay lit well. I will order more soon. If anyone has any ideas how to spice it up a bit without ruining it please email me.

Another winner from Mr. Ouellette! I admit that I really don't care if a baccy is English, Balkan, Aromatic, or pure something as long as it is easy to handle and makes me feel good (and doesn't get me thrown out of the house). I smoke them all (at least once) and leave prejudices outside.

Trout stream has become one of my very favorite aromatics. I can't say enough good about it. Easy to pack; no sticks to fuss with; easy lighting; stays lit well; no gurgles; smokes cool; never a hint of a bite; stays clean to the bottom. The tin odor is pleasantly sweet (vanilla like) without being overpowering. Beginning smoking aroma is the same giving ample smoke without effort. Aroma and flavor stays pretty much the same all the way to the bottom with a little added strength showing up about 3/4 way to the bottom but never gets objectionable. No bad after taste left in the pipe.

I detect no surfactants and it can be dried out to a crisp. Seems to me to be just a pure, honest, well blended combination of pure Cavendish.

I like this a lot and don't ever want to be without it. Highly recommend you at least try it. Especially newbies.

Habana Premium's best kept secret. Not even Russ Ouellette could blend something this good. No, contrary to the listing Russ did not blend this . It was created by Eric Nicholas.

I wish that all aromatics were this tasty. Of all of the blends available at Habana Premium, this one is my favorite. Tasty, mild and biteless. It packs easy and burns cool.

The pouch aroma is that if high grade butterscotch. Although it is a cased blend, the tobacco taste still comes through loud and clear. It doesn't goop up a pipe and the flavor matches the room note.

A perfectly mild all day smoke.

A great aromatic blend from pipesandcigars.com. The caramel flavoring really comes through in the smell of the blend and the taste represents this as well. It burns very cool, no tongue bite whatsoever.

I'm a huge Pipeworks and Wilke fan and this blend reminds me alot of Gramercy Park.

Just smoked my first bowl of this and felt compelled to review it. Aroma from the pouch made me salivate! Sweet butterscotch without cloying. My pipe gurgled a little after a few minutes but I attribute that to not letting the tobacco dry out enough (on the upside I smoked this to the bottom of the bowl without a single relight). The flavoring did not at all get in the way, and about halfway through it gave way to a real nice mellow tobacco flavor that I could enjoy all day long. A hint of the sweetness came back at the very end, which was a pleasant surprise. All in all, a nice pleasant all day, any day smoke. One of the few aromatics that I would keep on hand regularly.
