I had heard nothing but great comments about this blend and ordered 4 ounces to try out for winter, looking for some blends that are both palatable to me and well received/tolerated by those I'm around.
The tin note is a wonderful butterscotch aroma, one that made me anxious to try this blend. I found it to be good to go out of the pouch, but a tad drying time would be okay, too. AS is normal for me, I loaded it into a MM Legend for the inaugural smoke and set back expecting a tasty, enjoyable experience. But I didn't quite get what I expected ...
I smoked a total of 4 bowls, three in cobs and one in a meer, of this blend before deciding that it isn't my "bowl of baccy". The taste is not nearly as pronounced as the tin note, unfortunately. I found it to be very flat, boring, and mostly tasteless. The room note was quite nice though. So, this blend is not for me, but that doesn't mean it isn't for you: almost everyone else loves it.

This is a mild, inoffensive aromatic that is pleasantly mild on the tongue. It's a cut above something like Captain Black, but still nothing to write home about. I smoke a number of aromatics on an occasional basis, and this one just doesn't stand out from the pack.

There isn't much I can add since this blend has been extensively review by others, if you are into half sugary half cigarette tasting tobacco this is definitely the blend you should try to get specially if you pick smoking pipes to quit smoking cigarettes, it does not bite unless you push it; the nic hit it mild, smells great in the jar but fails to deliver in the room note my fiancée found it foul, which was a surprise since I smoke VAPERs in my room and she never complaints. Very boring smoke, but it is worthwhile if you doing yard work or chores around the house since it never gets distracting.

This is the first blend from pipesandcigars that I've been disappointed with. The aroma of butterscotch/caramel or whatever is absolutely scrumptious. Due to all the cavendish in this blend the flavors are muted making for a flat and ultimately boring smoke. No real tobacco taste detected. It burns cool and mild with no tongue bite. If you enjoy Danish style aromatics then you may like Trout Stream. After I smoke a bowl, I have no want of another. I think I shall try experimenting with adding some burley and/or red virginia to see whether I can make this blend more interesting. I'll use what I have but will not be ordering more. It just deepens my suspicion of any heavily laden cavendish blends and I will shy away from them even more than previously.

After ordering and receiving a H&H sampler last year and not really liking 90% of the blends I was really hesitant about trying any more of pipesandcigars blends but an online buddy of mine had some up for trade so I said ?what the hell?. I had read somewhere that this blend supposed to have a butterscotch flavor to it. I did not find that however this blend didn?t bite me like the H&H blends did. For me it was just a tad flat but after adding a dash of J.M. Boswell?s Premium Burley it really opened up. Although I?m enjoying it much more now it?s not something I?d order to keep on hand.

There is a light musky smell, that does indeed remind me of a lake (or stream I suppose), as well as a golden nutty sweetness. The leaves are very light and springy, so grab a good handful as it will pack down.
Sparks up instantly to a nice fast burning mellow smoke. Performs much like a cigarette to be honest and would be a good choice for those wanting to knock out a quick break. Throws off a ton of smoke and gave me a few nose crinkles.
This is not a beefy savory smoke, but one that is good for several bowls in succession without being bogged down with the nuisance of exploring its depth.

I smoked aromatic exclusively about 10 or 12 years ago when I was beginning to smoke pipe. It only took few months to get sick of the additive aromas. But I bought some of this because my friend told me that this was less aromatic as others(drug-store blends). It isn't. It smells sweet and tastes flavorful. However I think my taste changes a lot all these years that I find it's too mild for me now.

I almost feel a little guilty not saying I enjoyed this blend but, in the interest of others who rely on honest reviews to make decisions regarding what blends to buy, I'll give my honest assessment of TS.
In short, people who don't particularly enjoy aros will probably like TS.
I'm not sure if it was my doing but, TS burned a bit hot. It also tasted sour towards the bottom of the bowl. According to my pipe-critic girlfriend, the room note was "meh."
This was my first order with 4 Noggins and I could tell the quality is definitely there but, I'm afraid this blend just doesn't do it for me. I neither liked it or disliked it. It was just "there."

I read great reviews about TS and was eager to smoke down a bowl. The smell was delightful when opening the bag. As one who enjoys a puff of aromatic smoke once in a while, I was disappointed with a bitter/sour note in TS that I find in many aromatic blends from local corner tobacco shops. My best experiences with aromatics have been high quality tins. A great example of a high quality aromatic, diametrically opposed to potpourri in a bag, would be Devil's Holiday.

I had high expectations on this one, because of the good reviews. But I was rather disappointed. The room note is terrific, but the taste is blend, almost non existing. Both strenght and taste way mild for me. 2 stars only because of the nice room note (pancakes).
