Found this tobacco to be just alright. The tin note was interesting and fruity - I thought the enjoyable smell would transition into flavor notes during the smoke. Never really transpired for me with this one. Didn't pull through on the flavor note, nor did I find the tobacco pull through effectively either. It was just okay on both fronts. Flavor is subtle. Wife enjoyed the room note - I think much more than I enjoyed the smoke. Just a little too flat and uninteresting. Gave this one a shot throughout the year. Can't say it improved in any way.

This was the first Stanwell tobacco I have tried. It was on sale and the name caught my eye. I found the tobacco to have many of the qualities I look for (easy light, good burn, proper moisture), I found the taste and room note to be unremarkable, if not flat, and really struggled to find the vanilla and fruit that is promised. I do think I will give Stanwell another try, maybe Melange, but this product was disappointing.

Though it has all the advantages of the Stanwell tobaccos (no moisture, burns to the end, no tongue bites, smooth burning) the burning aroma is very neutral... nothing special for this great brand which produces the magnificent "Melange" and "Kir and Apple".
