I don't think that this blend is the exemplar of everything that's wrong with a certain style of aromatics, but it shows most of those faults. It's very heavily treated, which I never care for, but this can be overlooked or ignored if there is some pleasure to be had in the taste, aroma, or smoke; none of those things are here. Black currants are a refined dried fruit, a haute raisin for lack of a better term. Whatever the flavorings used, it in no way resembles currants and this is just a huge turn off. The description perhaps gives it away mentioning apple. In my book there is no need to add an apple component to a currant blend, and the synthetic apple flavoring is horrific anyhow. Really poor stuff and not worthy of Stokkebye.

Peter Stokkebye - Black Currant Cavendish (No.45).
It's quite a coarse ready rubbed mix, meaning the smoke would probably be cool should it not arrive brittle. But it came dry as a bone. One point down before the smoke had begun! The pouch smells strongly aromatic.
The flavour from the additives is fairly strong, and also too sharp. The blackcurrant domineers, with the apple sitting a little behind. The apples don't particularly offer sweetness, instead it's a sort of sour cooking apple flavour. I only get a smidgen of flavour from the tobaccos, the topping masks them quite well. The burn's evil: red-hot. And it bites like mad.
Nicotine: mild. Room-note: the best point.
I don't like this, and I won't recommend it:
One star.

Oh how I wanted to like this blend. I received a small sample that came with my batch of BCA. I tried it in a small freehand and thought what a great blend. The base had a dominant mix of black cavendish and smoked great. So, I order a pound to use as a change of pace!! The blend I received was mostly blond tobacco and did not resemble the sample at all. The taste is so-so and the tongue bite will drop you to your knees!! Stokkebye really missed the mark on this blend. I think I will stay with Lane for now. I sure miss Century Tobacco and Hollco Rohr, that used to be in the San Fernando Valley.

Ever have a Jolly Rancher hard candy? This tastes just like an apple Jolly Rancher, with five or six packets of saccharin.
I enjoy some aromatics, as well as VAs, Burleys, Balkans and English blends. But this aromatic has no redeeming qualities at all...oh, ok, it doesn't bite. That's not enough to save this horrid blend.
It is the most heavily-cased blend I've smoked, and the flavor is unappealing. It tastes mostly of vinegar and sour apples with a little bit of sour cherry, covered with a wet blanket of artificial sweetener. Think bad fruit buried under Sweet 'n' Low. Eee Gads, what a monstrosity!
If you are looking for a fruit-based aromatic, there are many, much better ones out there; Affordable Pipes' "Decadent Chocolate Raspberry", MacBaren's "Cube", and Pipeworks & Wilke's "Cherry Cavendish" are all far superior to this Stokkebye offering.
Not recommended at all.
