The berry flavor was quite nice. The tobacco burned well. The taste while good, it not my cup of tea. This however is a very good blend.

Strong candy sweet tin aroma and the room note is fantastic. Not sticky or too wet. Perfect moisture content right out of the can without needing any drying. More smoke production than most other pipe tobaccos I've tried, and burns well leaving behind a nice white ash. Burns cool. Takes a person with a seriously fast puffing cadence to get this too hot, and if you know how to properly pack a bowl, this requires very few relights if any. Definitely one to put on your list if you're an aromatic smoker that isn't looking for a strong tobacco or nicotine hit.
P.S. Some have talked about a soapy aftertaste which i did identify, as well and may be off putting to some.

I gave this tobacco a try with great expectations but I came up somewhat disappointed. Heavy berry flavor which covers up the tobacco taste. It hits you when you open the tin strong berry note. It burns well and the room note is nice. The cavendish doesn't come through enough for me.

This is the first "hearth and home" blend from pipesandcigars.com that I have tried. When I first opened the tin I was overwhelmed by the fruity smell. The first few bowls didn't have much of a berry flavor to them, but sure did have a nice aroma. Earlier on in the tin I found the tobacco to be woody and even mushroom tasting, however after letting it sit for two weeks the mushroom flavor disappeared. At that point the berry flavor really began to come through. The tobacco itself is nice, dark, and chunky. The 1.5 oz tin is lasting me longer than expected. The tobacco stays lit nicely and doesn't leave any dottle or goo. It is a nice clean smoke that doesn't get too hot or bite the tongue. I am going to be sure to try more of this brand, but doubt I will rush out to buy this particular blend again.
