Straus Tobacco Rookwood
(3.60)
We've taken the best cavendish tobaccos we could find and mixed them with the best Virginia tobaccos, adding a very flavorful sweet casing. We've been told that it smells like cookies baking. Try some for yourself.

Bought this tobacco based on the reviews on this site. Pouch aroma is magnificent. A blend of vanilla, maple and brown sugar. Packed and smoked well straight out of the bag. At different times during the smoke each individual flavor will make it's way to the front for a solo but quickly drops back to let someone else take the lead. Not overly sweet as the aroma would suggest. Smoked surprisingly cool and dry, but I never push these types. Will probably be much different if you were to become the little engine that could while smoking. Room note is 2nd to none. My wife commented that she wished she had a candle that smelled the same (maybe this means I won't be banished to the garage forever). Multiple bowls seemed to leave me slightly wanting a little more "tobacco" flavor, but taken at face value this is an excellent smoke. If you enjoy aromatic tobacco this is a must try!

Good Aromatic, but more than just that. Smokes like it smells in the bag. Not all tobaccos do. Burns cool and smoky. May contain some burley along with Va. But I'm not sure, it does have some complexities. Package it in a high priced tin with a big name. Or keep it in a bulk jar, with a good price. A Straus hidden gem? Tastes good my rotation, as I find myself always coming back to Rookwood.
