This is a typical English aromatic, which means that it is very slightly flavoured. I can't really remember the smell, but it smelled more of tobacco than of the flavoring.
The cut of the blend makes it easy to pack, it doesn't need any breaking down. The taste is a bit weird though, because it's not totally aromatic nor totally just tobacco. It does smoke well and leaves a nice dry bowl.
I'm a bit ambiguous on my verdict on this tobacco. Bought it once, don't think I will buy anymore. IT's not cheap tobacco, of course, it's Dunhill, but it doesn't really appeal to me. But for anybody that wants a tobacco slightly flavored and still want the taste of tobacco, Black Aromatic might do the job for you.

I don't like aromatics, but a tobacco from Dunhill always intrigues me, so I gave it a try. It was strange, tasting like alcoholic cased to me, but definitely smokable. You can always taste the real tobacco under the topping, the quality is high as usual, as the cut and the box. Elegance I think can be the best quality of this tobacco.

I don`t enjoy this blend, to litle nicotine and flavor, the only advantage is the very pleasente aroma for the sorrounding people.

I was a little scared of this one , having the word Aromatic in the name , but the topping is very light and for once blends very well with the tobacco aromas . This is the only aromatic tobacco I've had where the flavoring is complimentary to the tobacco . I'm not sure the flavoring is needed , or adds to the smoking experience , but it's not bad .

Black Aromatic, like all of the old Dunhill's is made from very good quality tobacco. It comes out of the tin ready to pack. Although the name is Black Aromatic, its not an aromatic in the common sense. BA is a very lightly cased tobacco that tastes far more like tobacco than casing. Sadly, it simply falls short in the flavor area. At first light it tasted a bit like Dunhill Ultra Mild, but it never rises to the occasion. The taste is slightly sweet without any direction. The flavor is just flat. I am a big lover of Dunhill tobacco's, but after trying several bowls in different pipes, the result was the same. I gave it two stars for the quality of the leaf, but its a one star blend in the taste department.

I suspect the tin I bought was kind of old.
The flavouring was not very pronounced.
A bit strange tasting.
The tin looks great, though.
