Funny that as I get older and more practiced, I get better at enjoying a classy Euro-Aro. Yeah, I'm going to create a category in my mind called "Euro-Aro". They aren't goopy, gummy or as perfume laden as lesser Aros. My Tin has held up well in a crate in the basement for 7 years. Toasty coconut, vanilla, caramel, all the stuff on the nose to keep folks around you happy as the tin is popped. A tiny bit moist, but leave a pile on a plate for a few minutes before loading up a bowl and you'll be fine. After the tin being open for a week or two it hits its stride for humidity.
The tin says it has Va and Black Cav tobaccos, but looking around in my tin, it looks more like some red Va and Stoved dark VA. Nary a black bit to be seen. That fine by me, I love a nice VA blend.
She packs up easy, lights easy, and stays lit. I didn't have any bite to speak of, the Va tobaccos were yummy, the topping did NOT coat my mouth, but did leave my beard smelling of holiday baked goods. I like that.
That's pretty much it! It's not a blend for "cork sniffing" and worrying about, but delivers enough vitamin N to be noticed a tiny bit, keeps me entertained, and can be smoked several time in the day without regret. Smells great, and leaves the room feeling cozy, so those around you won't balk. I like it and see this being a fine tobacco to keep around if you are the person who like an aro once in a while but tends to be into Va, VaBur, VaPer.

Not usually an aromatic guy, though I do like some of the well-scented Lakelands. This blend, however, is to me a tolerable true aromatic, and not goopy like some can be. I really don't get much bite from it myself, and though opening up the jar instantly fills the entire room with the odor of vanilla/caramel candies, the taste is not overwhelming in the smoke. I don't see it becoming a go-to or buy-again blend for me at least, and actually my sample is a rather generous gift, but I will smoke the occasional bowl, and will probably open up the jar from time to time just for the smell of the unlit tobacco alone.

The flavor burned off after about the half way mark. Smelled nice in the tin, first half was good.

Dan Tobacco blends are outstanding and this certainly covets the same accolades as the other blends. Slightly reminiscent of their excellent Sweet Vanilla Honeydew but with the added hints of caramel undertones and is a great afternoon smoke. Fills easily and smokes to gray ash without the goop at the bottom of the bowl. The tin is slightly smaller in circumference than the usual size but is thicker to accommodate 50g quantity. I found the size to be more convenient to slide into my suit pocket. But its not the packaging that makes the difference. Overall, this is going to be augmenting my regular 'stash' for years to come.

UPDATE TO REVIEW BELOW Turns out my suspicions below were partly correct, in that this performed much better in different pipes. It also packs a little differently tha other tobaccos I've smoked. It needed a lighter hand.
So if I smoke it in a medium to large bowl, and pack lighter than I usually do, it performs just as well for me as it did for everyone else.
ORIGINAL REVIEW I have only been a dedicated pipe-smoker for a few months, now, but my palate is getting trained, and most of the reviews "scan" for me.
With those caveats, I have to respectfully dissent on Milonga. It lit unevenly for me, burned hot, and bit. The flavor of the casing was also muddy.
That said, my initial smokes were in a pipe with a smaller bowl which I reserve for aromatics. It did perform better in a large bowl: The light was more even, and the development of the profile apparent. Oddly, for me so far at least, the casing was more pleasant and interesting in the large bowl as well.
As it is awfully cheeky for this neophyte to offer such a dissent, I can only assume that with a little cellar time on it my impressions of Milonga will likely be as lauditory as the others here.

This is without a doubt one of my favorites. One of the first flavored tobaccos I tried that actually had flavor. I could taste the caramel on the first draw! It is a light bodied and delightfull smoke that I recommend to all my bowl brothers. I detected no bite and no heat, nice and smooth. A quality smoke and the chicks dig the room note! Enjoy it at the club, and everyone else will too. One thing to be aware of though, this is best when it's fresh and moist. It doesnt seem to keep well. If it gets dry, it loses it's appeal.
