Milan Tobacconists Honey Smoke

I didn't really smell or taste the coconut in Honey Smoke but I did enjoy the fact that it burned slow and cool and I did receive many complements from strangers as I walked around the dog park. Very mild as a lot of the Milan blends are and also very high quality which makes Milan's blends stand out in a very crowded aromatic field.

I bought a sampler pack from Milan tobacco. It is a great buy. It has a lot of nice aromatics in it and a few English blends. This tobacco is their best selling blend. It is a nice aromatic and it burns well. I could barely detect the coconut flavor (which is good) and it has a nice room note. When you pack, look for a few thick stems which should be discarded. Not too many, but there are a few.

This is the tobacco that turned me on to pipe smoking.

For me, it's a very light aromatic smoke that's a bit frustrating mostly because it seems to contain little nicotine. But it's enormously pleasant to smoke, the room note is top notch, and there's almost no chance of this stuff biting. The same can be said for all of the Milan aromatics that I've tried, come to think of it.

If you've never tried a coconut flavored aromatic, try this one. I should note that I do not like most aromatics, and I'll pass on anything soaked in cherry or chocolate. But I love this stuff. It's what I carry around with me when at social functions, and it never fails to draw positive attention.

Someone below noted that the room note is better than the smoking experience, which I don't think is quite fair. This stuff makes a delicious smoke. This isn't close to the strength of a cigar, or even a stout English or VaPer. But it's on par with many common virginia/burley blends, and has a wonderful, subdued flavor. Expect a mild experience from Honey Smoke.

This tobacco is overrated. It lights easily enough, but has no flavor. I prefer an aromatic with more character. It also burns hot. Not enjoyable at all.

EDIT: After letting this tobacco sit for a couple of months, the taste has improved. Added 2 stars.

The room note definitely gets 4 stars! This is the type of room note that non-smokers enjoy. It's faintly reminiscent of the much-loved "old-fashioned pipe aroma", however the aroma of tobacco is quite muted and dominated by a pleasant, light and sweet aroma reminiscent of cookies.

Very easy to keep lit. No bite. Produces big billows of smoke if you puff with passion. I am more of a sipper myself, which brings out the very gentle nature of this blend. Be warned, the taste is quite mild. It is by no means overly sweet or cloying. I'd describe the taste as a mild, grassy burley, lightly sweetened with sugar, with a touch of caramel and coconut. I don't taste honey.

All in all, 3 out of 4 stars.

Just a fair flavor, but the room note is very nice. Out of all the Milan I've tried (6 different tobaccos now), this is my 2nd favorite, right behind Sunset Rum.
