Trout Stream is a sweet, genteel smoke that entices. I keep a small baggie at my desk so I may smell the essence of this fine tobacco in its un-flamed state. This tobacco smells great! Reminds me of butterscotch in a 1950?s kitchen, when pudding was indeed pudding and it was made the traditional way: with mothers who stirred simmering milk with wooden spoons?.
Sold in bulk, the leaf is predominately comprised of golden Cavendish slices and bits of sweet black Cavendish. Both appear to come from varietals of Virginia leaf. The nose is indeed of butterscotch. Easy to pack, the tobacco lights well and with a light tamp will take you to peaceful places.
The tobacco burns dry?there are no goopy messes to contend with. The flavour is not complex, yet I find that it is not at all one-dimensional. This tobacco wraps me up in a flannel blanket and pats my head. All I need is bedtime story?God, give me a spoon!
Trout Stream gives off a wonderful, sweet room note. The flavour swims around the tongue with softness and a dessert like tease. An easy, all day smoke, Trout Stream would be enjoyable while doing chores and yet it?s a delicacy for a contemplative smoke.
This blend comes from pipeandcigars.com. However, Trout Stream was blended by a gentleman named Eric Nicholas, not the venerable Russ Ouellette as indicated above. You can find Trout Stream under bulk tobaccos Eric?s Andirondack Series.
I highly recommend Trout Stream to newer smokers or those seasoned pipers who like a light aromatic or for a change of pace.
I?ve recently have purchased 4 ounces of another Eric Nicholas? blends: Old Lodge. A review of that will follow but so far, I am very impressed with Mr. Nicholas? blends.

I usually don't go for aromatics but some folks prodded me to try this blend. It changed my viewpoint on aromatics. This is a mild smoke with caramel and butterscotch. Room note I will say my wife this is best I've smoked and smells really good! A real pleasure to smoke. No tongue bite, burns clean right down the bowl. Will be adding this to the next order. Highly recommended

I'll echo the majority of other reviewers: this is one of the best aromatics on the market. It doesn't smoke wet at all, even if you're puffing away at it like a mad man (which I tend to do whenever I'm working). No goop, no acrid aftertaste, no tongue bite. Just smooth, creamy smoke that tastes like it smells: buttery and sweet with a touch of maple. I recommend this to aromatic haters everywhere because I think this is one you'll enjoy having in your rotation. I sure smoke a lot of it these days.

What is there to say about this blend that hasn't already been said. This is one of my favorite tobaccos that I have ever smoked. Butterscotch flavor is so intoxicating so relaxing you can smoke this anytime of the day. It is so easy to pack, very few relights, just an absolute pleasure To smoke. What I like about this tobacco also is that the flavor stays true all the way to the end of the bowl. Any fan of aromatic pipe tobacco would probably love this as well as someone who is new to pipe smoking. Highly recommend this tobacco

I'm not sure why this blend has 2 profiles on this site, but they both clearly reference the same blend. Anyhow, trout stream is a standout, full 4 star aromatic for me. I like to think I'm a critical judge of aros, since my heart lies in dark-fired burley and vaper blends. But trout stream is a departure I loved from the start, the only aromatic I always keep about a pound of lying around. I just can't get over how pleasant this tobacco is!
It's the butterscotch that keeps me coming back. Love the aroma, love the room note, and love the flavor as well. The flavor and scent seems incredibly well-balanced -- I am inclined to believe the infusion is done with more of a casing than topping. I cite the lack of goopiness and the persistent room note as argument to the point. The wonderful smell just sticks...sometimes I can smell that butterscotch sweetness in my beard for hours! Being all cavendish based, you're not likely to get tobacco flavors here unless you just have a nose for cavendish tobacco flavors. I'm smoking it strictly for the butterscotch myself.
Overall, this is the most well blended aromatic I've tried. It packs easily, burns effortlessly, causes no tongue bite grief, and puts off volumes of thick, creamy buttery sweet smoke. Everyone ought to give it a try, especially is you enjoy butterscotch like I do. It may not be the end-all aromatic in your experience, but who's to say it won't be?

I find this very tasty ( like coffee, honey and caramel ) and pleasant tobacco, smells good in the bag and I don´t experienced any sensation of tongue bite what so haver, making this blend one of my favorites aromatics. In fact I order 50gr one first time and 100gr in the sencond time. I hope it was helpful.

First let me say that I only smoke aro's in meerschaums or briars that I acquired on the used market. Everything else gets high grade English. I was somewhat cautious about this one as it is a bulk proprietary blend with just a couple of outlets but I must say that it is really a fine smoke. It is dry, cool, mild and very pleasant around crotchity old women so the room note must be great. It has a quality cut, terrific bag note and retains it's flavor throughout. Oh, almost forgot. It is really a fantastic bargain price-wise.

Perhaps my favorite blend to start the day here on the mountain - sitting on the deck watching the sunrise and listening to river rolling below. A sublime blend that burns smooth delivering a rich aromatic smoke without a hint of heat. Fantastic. Kudos to Rich for another beauty.

I was a little concerned ordering something with the work "Trout" in it, but the reviews were good. From the first smoke, I lked this stuff. I had never been a fan of butterscotch candy, but in a tobacco the taste was a pleasant surprise. Easy to lite, few relights, and a taste that is not overbearing.

A 100% Cavendish mixture that smells almost exactly like Three Blind Moose, and elicits the same responses from bystanders. It burns clean and cool if you know how to smoke flavored blends, tastes mild and pleasant, and does not overwhelm with nicotine.
Don't smoke this in public if you're feeling antisocial. People will want to talk about it.
