As an aromatic blends smoker the search for "the one" is endless. Not anymore. At least not for me.
What I like most about this blend is the balanced taste. The after taste is quite subtle, like you somehow need to search for it you will taste fruity, vanilla, nuts and a bit of tobacco. A bit from everything. As you open the tin the smell is overwhelming, exotic fruits, vanilla and dried fruits. Adding that you see some cubes inside it almost makes you wander if it's really tobacco what you just bought.
Fresh, the cubes are a bit wet but I never have the patience to dry it. I simply break them and put them in the pipe without pressing too hard. If you press it too hard you will end up with allot of moister, especially if you didn't dry it first. It needs a few relights and if you keep it slow everything will be fine. You will experience, like I already said, a bit of everything, nice fruity-vanilla taste with some nutty shades and a bit of tobacco. Perfect ration from each in my opinion.
Room note is nice and pleasant to nonsmokers.
This being said the search is over for me. I hope you will enjoy it too.
