James Fox Hibernia
(2.29)
This carefully blended tobacco is made from the finest Virginia, rich Kentucky burley and a touch of perique from St. James Parish, Louisiana. The aromatic vanilla flavor makes this smoke unmistakable, and is known to have spoiled even the most particular of connoisseurs.

I found this to be a hard one to rate. The vanilla is the main flavor, but there's some cocoa. The toasted, nutty burley and grassy, citrusy Virginia flavors are very sublimated by the topping, which is a little chemical tasting. The perique offers a slight spice note in the background. Has little nicotine. Won't bite or get harsh. Burns at a moderate pace with a consistent taste, and leaves a little moisture in the bowl, but it also presents an after taste that lasts too long, so I couldn't classify it as an all day smoke. For true aro smokers, it may rate higher, but the artificial, chemical character of the toppings is such that I award it only one star.

Pretty much all I get out of this is a "chocnilla" topping that has an astringent chemical finish to it. Not pleasant to my t-buds at all. I can get an underlying generic tobacco flavor, but it's very nondescript and weak. I'm done with this one.
