Upon opening the tin in my car I was pleasantly assaulted by the aroma of a Caramello candy bar! Very rich and intoxicating, the tin note quickly filled my car and I was slowly drowning in my own drool! Interestingly enough, I have a tin of Christmas Spirit 2015 and the two of them I believe share a topping. While Caramel Rush Is lacking the Rum and Chocolate, I think Holiday Spirit must have some of the Caramel topping since I can detect it in flavor and room note after having just smoked a bowl of both, also my buddies having shared some of the tin agreed. The tin doesn't describe the in ingredients but I detect black Cavendish and some bright Virginia, I do not detect any Burley but there may be a small portion of it. Mild and flavorful, not just steam! I preferred the Chocolate Silk Blend over Caramel and Holiday Spirit but Caramel is a sold 3 stars. Also I really enjoyed these Club Blends and will purchase all of the Chicago , Kansas City and Richmond tins. I have been impressed with them so far!

This blend had lots of potential but only gets three stars from me. The strength was very low, as I expected from this. That natural taste was kind of killed by the extreme casing, and it also had some tongue bite. It just wasn't as smooth as you would expect from such a great blender.
When it comes to casing and room note it was very much caramel. Anyone would say this smells incredible. The tobacco smoking itself was just almost too much.
If you are an avid aromatic smoker, this is definitely for you, if not, I would stay away.

A light and delightfully airy Caramel blend with a somewhat unique presentation with the added Virginia. I actually would have liked a little more of the caramel flavor, but heck, what I got was good enough to satisfy. This is a wet one and I doubt you'll live long enough to dry it out, so, just load gently and puff.

As far as aromatics go this is a rather nice one. Smooth and sweet. It will bite if your not careful when smoking but other than that its a smooth smoking, and smooth burning smoke. The caramel flavor is the primary note in the smoke with hints of sweet virginia from time to time. I prefer this blend as dessert after dinner. Just as sweet and delicious as that piece of cake but without the calories!
