Benjamin Hartwell Evening Stroll
(2.93)
Mild and flavorful - Benjamin Hartwell's friend, Jim Murdoch, was a real dandy, always dressed in the most fashionable styles of his day. He preferred his pipe tobaccos mild and with a hint of sweetness to please the women as he walked by. Ben made his blend for Jim and called it Evening Stroll.

I've been smoking a pipe for about a year and have really enjoyed taking chances with various aromatic tobaccos. I work part time in a tobacco shop in Albany,NY so I have the great fortune to try just about everything. I've been smoking most of the Peterson's blends (notably Old Killarney and Connisouers Choice) but decided to take a chance with Benjamin Hartwell Evening Stroll.
This has to be one of the best aromatic tobacco's available. The first smell you get from the can are hints of vanilla and fruit (my wife smells mango, I smell a hint of peach). The cut is nice, not too sticky but moist, and it allows one to pack a nice bowl for a longer smoke. The instant lighting makes anyone in the room ask "wow, that smells great, what is that?". The taste is similiar to the smell and it smokes rather cool, as opposed to the Petersons blends.
If you have a wife like mine who enjoys a good smelling tobacco, this is the one! Totally worth the risk.

Evening stroll is great at any time of the day. It smells great in the tin, and even better when smoked. Of all the aromatics i have tried i have gotten the most positive complements from non smokers with this blend. I think one would be hardpressed to say that they dislike the room note of this tobacco. The taste is great, although possibly could be a slight let down because i think that the aroma is better than the flavor. The first time i smoked Evening Stroll the bottom of the bowl was slightly sour, however it has never happened to me since then. I also haven't smoked it in that pipe since, so it may not have been the tobacco. The overriding flavor and aroma is vanilla, but it is not overwhelmingly sweet, which is perfect. Good vanilla is sometimes ruined for me by being too sweet, but that is not the case with Evening Stroll. Overall this is very nice and pleasant aromatic, and i would definately recommend it.

What can I say about Evening Stroll? This is the first true Aromatic I tried and it's still my favorite. I'm mainly a Burley and Aromatic smoker with the occasional Virginia on the menu. ES smokes cool, no bite, and everyone comments! But though I enjoy the positive feedback I smoke for my own enjoyment. ES delivers on every front for me. A great all day smoke. If you like Aromatics don't miss this one!!

Evening Stroll-This Hartwell Aromatic was, at first, going to find a home in the trash. I hated the first bowl and decided a second bowl would be the determining factor. I smoked it and was on the fence,then I wanted another...and another. I had to grow accustomed to the taste. It had way to much burley for me and I hated this blend! Alas,it has grown on me and I will keep a few tins around for a long time.
Taste is a very brandy-esqe vanilla and a hint of...nutmeg?
Smoke is light and airy with subtle smokiness.
No bite and very little goop. Well done.

I picked up a tin of evening stroll and fell in love. i tried smoking some of my other tobaks but kept grabbing the evening stroll. I have found my all day tobak!! its a preety mild smoker, stays lit amazingly well, doesnt get gurgley unless mistreated, and always amazes me. i started buying it in 1lb bags and havnt gone back. my favorite part about it is the excellent aroma that leaves the bowl and enters your nostrills. i am a big aromatic smoker. i like to make those around me comftorble as well and this tobak is great at pleasing my needs and smelling great for those around. when smoking in public ive gotten comments after comments of how good my pipe smells even from non smokers! this is definatley a must for all aromatic lovers and hell non aromatic smokers ought to try it to. you wont be dissapointed!

Sweet and delicious! This is a very "Old Fashioned" Aromatic. A wonderful, sit down and smoke a dessert kinda blend. I must confess I love Captain Black White Label, it was my first tobacco. But, I am afraid it must now take a second seat to Evening Stroll. Don't get me wrong, this is too sweet for a Va/Per man like me to smoke everyday, but, isn't it great to sit back and light up a blend like this after a wonderful dinner, or on one of the long and lazy country drives? The flavor and topping is yummy, and like the Old Captain, leaves a distinct aroma in my nose after smoking a pipeful. My Partner says this smells like cotton candy being made, which I doubt anyone will complain about! Smokes great in a Kirsten, I highly recommend this fine blend without reservation!!

This is my favorite blend of tobacco to date. I am very big on aroma and mild flavor and this one seems to fit the bill in both categories. I have been comparing aromatic pipe tobacco's and put this up against 1Q, BCA, HS3, and a few others and there doesn't really seem to be any contest. This tobacco has no bite in my opionion and really smells great. I bought this tobacco in bulk form and it really burns nicely without being to damp.

At first, all I liked about this blend was the tin aroma. It smells simply wonderful, but ships too wet for consumption. Left the lid off for a few days, and things began to improve. By the end of the tin, I was in love. This is possibly the finest aromatic I've ever smoked. I don't, as a rule, smoke aromatics much anymore, being more a VA flake kind of guy, but every once in a while I venture out into Aromatic Land in search of something worth smoking. Usually I'm disappointed, as the flavor disappears halfway through the bowl, but not here. The flavor is full, rich, lasts all the way down, never bites, and the wife likes it. Sounds like a winner to me! Just wish it came in bulk. A nice treat that I'll try to keep on hand when the wallet allows.

A winner from BH. Sweetness but not overdoing it. Never smokes hot and never bites. To Me, this is about as good as it gets for aromatics.
