this is a blend that says on the tin that it has flavors of maple, coconut, and dark chocolate. the aroma of dark chocolate and coconut are evident when the tin is first opened, but not upon lighting. Very colorful blend, that packs easy. The moisture content is minimal, and requires no drying out. The smoke is a cool dry one, but as with all aromatics, puff slowly or you'll slow-roast your tongue. This one is something that you'd think is way to sweet, or over-cased, but it definitely has a consistent tobacco taste that blends very nicely with the dark chocolate and maple-coconut topping. Burns to a nice salt and pepper ash, with no syrup or goop left in the boil. Great winter time blend, to enjoy with a cup of hot chocolate. Another winner for Ashton!!!!

A very good and chocolatey European version of McClelland's Best of Show. If ou like that particular European aromatic agent found in most of that continent's blends this will be a nice change of pace. It is pleasant yet far too expensive for an aromatic. 3 of 4 European Aromatic Stars.

I am not into aros but I love this one! It has a smooth toping that awakens your palate! I have to say that the chocolate scent is not overpowering which I thing its a good thing! It burns cool and is a very relaxing smoke of high quality leaf! Sweet enough to accommodate a nice cap of black coffee! A just right aromatic for a change from my usual non-aromatic blends!

When I first opened this, I found it rather dry and flavorless. there was little room note, and I tried it in two of my lesser smoked briars. After a month, I noticed little change, but out of curiosity, I dropped a button into the tin with the leftovers and left it alone for a week. I was amazed at the improvement after a little humidifying. Sweet and fragrant, easy on the toungue, and mellow. I like it in the mornings with my coffee. A good day smoker in mixed company.

A pleasant surprise. Cavendish and gold Virginia with vanilla taste and mild honey. It is a good quality aromatic tobacco without cheap wrappings. Initially it burns the tongue and I thought that this was a problem. However, when you smoke it calm, you realize, that doesn?t burn so much the bowl and the tongue. It needs a very good technique of calm smoking in order to enjoy the velvet taste, which is proposed by the constructor. Cavendish functions well. In order to taste better, it needs a bit of drying.
