The molasses sweet, nutty burley plays backup to the grassy, citrusy Virginia, and are sublimated by the toppings; the Virginia more so than the burley. The black cavendish has a creamy vanilla quality to it, and perhaps some brown sugar, too.The vanilla and caramel toppings are more obvious than the honey, and all of them are the stars of this blend, especially the vanilla. Has very little nicotine. Won’t bite or get harsh, and has no dull moments. Needs a light dry time. Burns cool, clean and a little slow with very smooth, lightly buttery, consistent flavor from start to finish. Leaves some moisture in the bowl, and requires some relights. The very pleasant after taste and room notes linger just a little. Can be an all day smoke.

No tongue bite. Very sticky and goopey out of the package/bag. It smells great in the bag, caramel and hints of fruit. Smokes well, but needs constant puffing to stay lit, but doesn't produce much acrid flavor/smell when doing so and no tongue bite. Smells nice in the room, the flavors are subtle via the tongue...a bit too subtle. It's a bit bland.

I love this blend. The pouch aroma smells good enough to eat! It stays lit and smokes cool and mild with a sweet aftertaste. Virtually no tongue-bite. Room Note is extremely pleasant. This is one that I will definitely re-order. For me, this is a winner. Highly recommended.
