A very nice aromatic. I'd call this a middle aromatic because it's neither goopy with flavor nor one of the slightly flavored variety. The smell in the bag is fantastic but, as usual bag smell doesn't have a lot of do with how it smokes.
I really enjoyed the smoking taste. The cavendish was consistently smooth and complimented by the natural sweetness of the burley. The burley was nicely blended in that it didn't overpower and I didn't detect the burley nutty taste that occurs when the burley is really prevalent. The casings/flavorings were low-key and added a nice sweetness to the tobaccos flavors.
Interesting slightly salty taste to the end of each puff.
Overall, a very nice balance of the tobacco taste and the flavorings. I'm impressed with this new blend and would try it again. Got this sample as a freebie in an order from a tobacconist. Well worth a smoke for the seasoned enjoyer of aromatics or the new pipe smoker. Cool, mellow and relaxing.
Note: I usually smoke English blends and my favorites are Oriental/Balkans. When I want straight tabacky I smoke english blends. When I want some sweetness and flavorings I smoked aromatics. Pipe smoking is that simple.

I Live in Portugal so Pipe tobacco varieties are very very scarce (You'll only find STG tobaccos mainly in almost all places, like Brokum Riff, Holland House, Skandinavik among others, none of the good stuff).
I bought this one on a trip to Spain an as soon a I opened the pouch I was mesmerized with the vary pleasant scent of cocoa and dark chocolate that flooded my nose straight away. Smoking it was also a very nice experience. This tobacco revealed to be very soft and gentle to my mouth and taste, not harsh at all even after a full 1oz full of bowls from this blend.
The only downside I found to some of the bowls I smoked was that it was burning too hot, but since it can relate to other factors rather than the tobacco itself it can't be considered quite a downside of this blend. Overall this is a tobacco that stays easily lit and won't require many relights.
It is a tobacco easy to. smoke you can't mess it up too much even if you deliberately try.
P.S. It might sound stupid but I decided to cellar a pouch (got rid of the pouch and stored it in an airtight jar of course) and will wait probably 6 months to see how the flavor and scent evolves.

For what it's supposed to be, it's great! Tastes amazing, lighting and maintaining the burn requires a bit of work but you are well rewarded and the room note is heavenly. Stay well away if you're not aro lover but don't miss out on it if you are. One other thing is it burned a bit moist for me, I imagine if it wasn't for filters I use these days I'd have some trouble with condensate.
