I'm a straight VA, Va Per and English smoker for the most part. Occasionally I wander off the reservation, which includes this blend. I hate to give a low score to a blend I typically don't buy, but I still must be honest.
The good: Cool burning, not too sweet, nice room note and none of the flavors overwhelm.
The bad: This is so gooey goopy, I had to wash my hands after filling a bowl, which I had let dry for an hours. Many many relights. Tobacco flavor is nearly absent.
A very mild, almost mundane smoke for an experienced piper. Nothing offensive, but nothing stellar. If not for the super gooey nature, it would get a better ranking from me.

It does not burn as hot as other aromatics but it sure does overtake them all in aroma/casing. The aroma can dominate the cabinet even above the latkia's. I had to seperate this one in it's own vacuum sealed case.
But, if you love the Irish Mist smell; you'll have a winner.
The room note is good but, I have to honestly say no one approached me and said that's nice. No one asked me to leave either so it's ok. To be honest, I've had better responses before from other aromatics like Hearth & Home "Egg Nog", MacBaren "Scottish Mixture" and even a natural aromatic like GLPease "Barbary Coast".
One real issue I have with Irish Mist is one people will 90% not mention.......I don't like it when inhaled.
Yes, I do not normally inhale aromatics. But, I do inhale for my English or American blends and on occassion the habit of a small inhale here or there with an aromatic occurs. Irish Mist is not good (for me) in this case as you will feel it the next day. A little like feeling waterlogged.

Very dry out of the tin but using the dribble and plug method it loads and burns fine. No bite anytime but puff fast and it will soon be gone. Cool smoke,zero gurgle with a nice taste. Were it an easier to load ribbon cut I would give it a 4. An above average aromatic without any of the boring pretense of some tobaccos. Edit: further puffing found the dustiness a bit much. Dropped to a 2. Still ok but they need to work on the moisture content.

Irish blessing is not bad but with a morning coffee tis gooooood. Sorry got carried away. The wife tolerated it so I give this blend another purchase in the future,perhaps winter since I drink more coffee then.
