House of Calabash Grandfather's Own Blend
(3.67)
Grandfather’s Own Blend is a great early morning smoke, after (or with) that first cup of the day, smoked around the family, friends or around town because of it’s great room note. This aromatic was blended for my grandfather 45 years ago and was among my first blends. It has the taste of exotic Brazilian Cocoa, with a touch of vanilla and brown sugar, and it makes this burley and virginia blend an even balanced and great everyday smoke.

I don't smoke many aromatics, but this offering from Mr. Books was a welcome change of pace. The pouch aroma was sweet but still smelled like tobacco, unlike some aromatics I've smoked. Upon smoking, it created great plumes of pleasant smoke that reminded me of my mom baking cookies as a kid. The taste wasn't syrupy but sweet and quite pleasant. It burned to a nice grey ash all the way to the bottom.
This is an aromatic worth trying.
Soli Deo gloria!
