Bentley Virginia Honey Dew
(2.80)
Golden and red Virginias blended with sweet, gently spicy black cavendish, and topped with bourbon vanilla. Gentle notes of honey round out the aroma of this lively blend. A smoking pleasure with a remarkably rich taste.

Bentley-Virginia Honey Dew.
The unlit smell is quite a fair split between honey and vanilla. I can't really pick out any bourbon, the two additions make for a sort of caramel note.
Mine's from a sample bag so I can't comment on a sealed tins amount of moisture. Either way though, the tobacco from my baggie is good to go!
It packs and lights well and I do enjoy the smoke; there's quite a full aromatic taste albeit it's not harsh or sticky. It's smooth and tasty. Unlike the smell I can detect a kind of delicate bourbon flavour but that may be how my palate perceives the collaboration of the vanilla/honey..
I struggle to detect much of the Virginia's natural flavour. I think the sweetness combined from the Black Cavendish, vanilla and the honey are too heavy to allow much of it through.
Throughout a bowl, the burn's good. I have to give it the occasional tamp but it doesn't need much attention from the flame.
I don't feel there's much nicotine in this. The strongest it gets is maybe medium if I really draw hard. Other than that it seems pretty mild. Mind you, that's my taste, we all vary for nicotine!
I enjoy the room note. It seems quintessentially aromatic!
This is a good aromatic, I'm sure many folks would love it. I enjoy it a fair bit but it would be too sweet for a regular addition to my rotation. Glad I never bough a full tin!
Definitely worth three stars though.

This is a very nice aromatic pipe tobacco. It has a pleasant taste and surely will be a good choice for aromatic pipe tobacco friends.
The tobacco seems of a good quality and it burns nice without great effort. When you light it and it gets started it goes on nicely. Nice honey and light bourbon vanilla taste gives a very nice smoking. The room note is pleasant, I felt no tongue bite. Virginia tobaccos of good quality and Cavendish tobacco with a spicy taste that is adding interesting character in this blend.
I believe aromatic pipe tobacco lovers should give a try to this good aromatic blend.
