I don't have much to add to the reviews below: smells great in the tin, very mild, drying helps, a quality aro that must be smoked slowly ("andante", as MAXYSDAD so aptly says) to get the subtle sweet flavor, otherwise it'll burn hot and flat, goes great with coffee.
I find the flavor pleasant, sweet but nondescript, but overall too mild. It does have a hint of a chemical agent at the finish.
Nice, but not special enough for me to get another tin. I can certainly see how it would have its fans, though.

I found this blend reminded me a lot of Peterson aromatics. Somewhat sticky coming out of the tin, very heavily cased and rather sweet. I detected a fruity note in the blend and an occasional taste of chocolate muted by what I assume is some kind of coconut flavor.
If smoked properly, it doesn't produce much of a bite. A decent smoke but nothing to make me come back for more. Once this tin is gone, I won't buy it again.

There seems to be some tounge bite on the charring lite but then the baccy settles down and becomes a cool, tastey smoke. The burn quality is very good and burns all the way to the bottom without any relite. I do agree with other posters that this blend should be smoked slow. By doing this, you can really taste the chocolate and the hint of nuts. I do not however taste maple or coconut. A good change of tatse blend, but not in my regular rotation.
