Rightly or wrongly, I find myself comparing aromatices in terms of their tobacco-to-aromatic flavour ratio. In this case it gets a 3:2, ie, certainly aromatic, but most definitely heavier on the tobacco side and therefore not a full-on aromatic in my book. The tin aroma is sweet and cherry-like with a definite deep molasses note. In the smoking it burns well and not too wet and produces a pleasing room aroma. The taste being light cherry/caramel but with a peppery tobacco and somewhat earthy taste left on the palate. This last aspect not being my most favourite point, although this same tobacco taste provides a welcome punch to what is essentially a medium smoke. It will be staying in my collection as a regular!

I like to keep at least one aromatic kicking around for a change of pace and this one was quite a good smoke. For aromatic fanciers looking for a tobacco with a bit more tobacco taste, try it out. Smokers of natural tobaccos may enjoy this blend as a change of pace as I did. The quality of the leaf is excellent and the casing is not overwhelming. It has a bit of the soapy nose to it upon lighting (much like Light Flake) but this dies down, leaving you with a very flavorful smoke that burns cool and leaves minimal dottle. I'll try it again for sure.

This was my second dunhill blend. Bought after Night Cap, it was not what I was looking for. However, I smoked it regularly for a couple of years in college. A nice smooth smoke, ocasionaly overpowering, diversified in taste. Hardly ever a tongue-bite and a nice, cool, forgiving burner, it is a good companion to study, lit for hous at a time. Still try it with joy. Very little, interesting casing only compliments the natural aroma.
