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.

Lately I've been smoking either Dunhill My Mixture 965 or Butera Dark Stoved. So I've been looking for something a little milder, and was going to get Blue Note. But when I went to my pipe store they were all out of Blue Note and they recommended this tobacco to me, so I gave it a try.
I must say, it was very pleasant. If you don't like aromatics then you won't really like this. But it's an easy smoke, I never had any trouble keeping it lit and it was pleasant the whole way through. At first I thought that the flavoring was going to be overwhelming, but as it went on I found that I really enjoyed it. The room aroma was very nice and I don't think anybody would really be bothered by this being smoked inside. As the name implies, this begs to be smoked while you walk through Philadelphia (or any other nice city).
It's nice to have on hand if you need to occasionally have a break from "heavier" tobaccos.

Wow this stuff smells good, both in the tin and in the room note. Very similar to Ashton Old Church, it has an indecipherable blend of aromatic agents, presented in a very moist, sticky state. It can bite, and it can be quite bland, but I would recommend trying it in a wide bulldog before you reach any final conclusions.
I don't know if I would buy another tin of this. Probably not, but I get raves from total strangers on the street, most of them women who say that the smell reminds them of some favorite uncle's/grandfather's/father's leather-lined library. Mixing in a bit of blending Oriental leaf from McClelland or Vegas Smokes adds a nice dimension without much impact on the room note.

Though I don?t smoke aromatics very often any more, this is the kind of mixture I turn to when I do. It is light and sweet in flavor, and seems absolutely incapable of biting. A lovely vanilla flavor. As with most McClellands, and aromatics in general, this is rather damp coming out of the tin and produces a fair amount of moisture while smoking. It seems very similar to some of the ?Premium Aromatic? line that McClelland has come out with over the past couple of years, particularly Captain Cool or Cool Mac.

I received a tin of this to smoke at the St. Louis show last year and this is perhaps one of the better tinned american aromatics I have had the chance to try. In the can, there is an obvious vanilla smell with a nice, almost toasty background scent. The taste is almost identical to the smell in the can and the room aroma is similar as well. If you like aromatics then you owe it to yourself to try this at least once.
