I bought some of this after Stephen Books left and absolutely loved it.
I would label this as a Natural Aromatic as it smokes semi sweet and is very well balanced.
All the tobaccos meld well and what one ends up smoking is a very pleasant tobacco tasting blend that is good any time of day.
On the flip side I tried HoC Wild Rose with the idea that would be the same thing - which it turned out to be a pale imitation and quite disappointing.

Good is the enemy of excellent and this is excellent. Steven Brooks must have studied with Merlin. Most compelling about this blend is the balance of it all. There is no 'forward' element that I seek out, it is all there melded into one delicious puff at a time. It is 'naturally' sweet tasting, walnutty and no bite. From the first light to the bottom of any bowl, Kirsten, normally aspirated briar, cob, the experience is somehow consistent and I would say the reason why I smoke a pipe...it is a quiet joy. If there is a downside it is that it sooooo spendy as they say in that neighborhood, but you're worth it....right?
