Sillem's Green
(3.00)
Bright, loose, and highly aromatic, this elegant composition will tempt you and you will never forget it. Different sugar sweet Virginia tobaccos, with brown and black mellow varieties of cavendish. This blend has a dense, sumptuous, exotic smell of Pina Colada, deliciously topped with the aroma of nuts. A high class tobacco which will delight you and the people around you.

Sillem's - Green.
This is what I call a 'dense' aromatic. The pouch has a smell that gives a good indication of what's on its way; a highly aromatic smoke. If you like to taste your tobacco you won't appreciate this! As aromatics go though, it's quite a good one I guess.
Let's go back to the start; the blend itself is interesting just to look at as there's all sorts of sizes, colours, and cuts in there. Salem's Green gives off an almost toxic aroma; it smells strongly of the aromatic additions! I'd say that it's the pineapple that's the strongest one, the rest aren't weak at all but the pineapple's 'zing' outshines them. This is the case with the smoke's flavour too; the pineapple leads whereas it's the nuts/beans I detect the least of. The topping pretty much smashes any chances of the natural tobacco tastes coming through, it's too heavy to allow that. The texture of the smoke is thick and creamy, this however, is reflected in the build up of the stuff in the room; open all windows! The nicotine's mild at the most, it won't satisfy anyone who craves a large amount! Towards the end of a bowl the burn's quality is highlighted; I can hardly remember needing to re-light it!
This is a blend where the objective merits outweigh my personal preference. I wouldn't have it as a regular smoke, I find it far too false but for those who require a MASSIVE dose of falseness this should serve that purpose!
Two and a half stars.

Man did I have high hopes for this blend after reading these reviews. What the heck are you guys smoking??? While it is a nice smoke there is nowhere near the taste and flavor that some of these reviews are claiming. Lights up just fine. Has a nice sugary tin note. I am thinking Oh Boy.....finally an aromatic that has some real big time flavor. First couple of puffs are truly very sweet then.....nothing...nothing at all. Then I get some nice nutty flavor with a little sweetness here and there. Just wish it was more flavor and taste. Lordy how many many times have I said that about an aromatic. You get some nice nutty flavor all through the smoke but the sweetness leaves you by midbowl. The room note is fair but very very mild. I smoked this fresh out of the tin so I will put it up for couple years and see if the taste improves.

I have to admit I had high expectations for this one. The tobacco quality received high praise everywhere and it comes with a tin that truly deserves the title "collector's item". The tin itself however is not air tight. For this Sillem's provides a resealable plastic foil pack that rests inside the tin. Not a perfect solution but it does the job. The tobacco itself is without a doubt top shelf quality. It burns even and leaves white smooth ash behind with just a tiny wet spot on the bottom. The flavor advertised here is Pina Colada and I'm a sucker for anything coconut so this one was a must-try on my list. The tin-smell is very sweet but promising. However, after smoking it, the first and lasting impression was cotton candy (for brits: candy floss). It is very sweet and imho unpleasantly so. It doesn't remind me of coconut at all, it's just pure sugar all the way. If you could define sweetness on an audio-equalizer, where caramel would get decent levels throughout the sweetness bandwidth, Sillem's green only tastes on the last two levels, the high pitch of sweetness. I tried it every way, from slow burn to hot and gurgling. Surprisingly the taste stays pretty much the same, intense from start to finish but no tongue bite. Another sign for a very good quality tobacco. So what it comes down to is - do you like the taste of cotton candy in a pipe? I could (once in a while at least) but to me it becomes unbearable though the added perfume undertone which was supposed to emulate piano colada. It is a real artificial tasting perfume-like note, I can't really define any better than just like the smell of mum's hair-spray. So imagine you'd spray hair spray on that cotton candy and smoke it. Exactly why I stay away from this and don't even bother to finish it. Sadly this was a 21 Euro mistake. Bit expensive for a nice looking tin on the shelf. However the tobacco quality is outstanding and the only reason why I gave it any stars at all. Of course flavor is a very personal affair but on my tongue this one failed completely. I had one woman at the bus stop telling me how nice she found the smell, at least Sillem's got that right.

A very sweet aromatic. The fruit flavor dominates this blend. It reminds me of a tropical vacation. I found it to burn hot with some bite. Too sweet for my taste but my wife liked the room note.
