First impressions while smoking the first bowl:
Creamy, nutty, herbal! Just another of those Hans Wiedemann """"aromatics"""" that really shouldn't be called this way if you take a look at what's usually considered an "aromatic" over here in Germany...
The scent from my sample-bag is very unique. Herbal-ish, though I couldn't name which herbs are in it. A gentle note of nuts and some sweetness, alongside a minor floral quality. One person suggested Burley in the mix, and I wouldn't be surprised if there was a tiny bit of it in it.
First puffs are dominated by the herbal qualities. Very interesting, totally new taste for my taste-buds and quite pleasing! There's a slight floralness to the smoke as well. After few puffs the nuttiness kicks and and oh my... it's sublime! I was instantly stoked by its creaminess! Like some really aromatic tasting nuts dipped in whipped cream or something along these lines... very, very nice, I love this aroma! Very pleasant room notes, you'll find that creaminess in the room note as well, among the herbal qualities.
The Virginias are everpresent as a foundation, mild sweetness, pleasing spiciness to round off a very interesting and unique blend. I will smoke this again, and I will add, that I'm far,.... far, far away from being "an aromatic guy"... but in the way Hans does "aromatics"? I'm in....! I guess "real aromatics" are supposed to be like this and not the goopy, non-tobacco-tasting mess some blenders call "aromatic tobaccos" - some just don't deserve the term "tobacco".. if you're like me and love your aromatic blends with the flavourings added light-handedly... this - or HU's aromatics in general are for you!
I'll add a final verdict once I puffed my way through the sample bag, which could take a bit, since I smoke flavoured blends only on occasion - until then: 4 stars, this is quite unique and refreshing to me!

I am generally an aromatic smoker and asked that Hans include several of his non/semi-aromatic blends in a recent order, this among them.
Enjoyed it quite a bit - very pure / clean tobacco taste and obviously made with great care.
Since the HU blends are not available domestically, please let me know if you would like a sample; happy to share / spread the word about Hans' products - terrific stuff !

Another HU aromatic that is not really an aromatic . A very pleasant virginia blend that is easy on the palate and rewarding in it's taste . A ready rubbed dark brown tobacco with a tin note of herbs and spices but not over the hill by any means . It packs and lights easily but it smokes a little too rapidly for my taste . This is the type of tobacco you can fill, light and smoke mindlessly while you enjoy the flavor . The good quality Virginias are the major player here . This is not a complex blend , pretty much the same taste from start to finish . Good as a early morning smoke or any time you just feel like puffing . Very mild and with almost no nic hit , sort of a tasty snack when you get the crave .

The Casablanca Feeling is a Virginia ready rubbed flake, mixed with Virginia and Burley loose cut. It`s a middel to darkbrown tobacco. The tobacco smells a little bit sweet, like toffee and a little bit like herbs. The tobacco burns very well and cool. The aromatisation is not overwhelming and gives this blend a nice taste. It is not a full aromatic blend. The Casablanca Feeling has a decent aroma between toffee and a bit honey, nuts and maybe herbs.Sometimes I think it tastes like a Lakeland aromatic without the scentet character. The tobacco and the aromatisation are teamplayer. It`s a good team! The Casablanca Feeling is a bit introverted, but I like it much more than a blend which cries out loud. I like it the whole day - it`s a blend to get hooked on.
No revolution - but genial ballanced
Really recommented
