I was dubious about the “cinnamon” flavoring, but when I saw that JimInks had give n this blend a four (4) star rating, I had to check it out for myself. Thank you, JimInks! Angler’s Dream is an excellent smok. The cinnamon is not overpowering in the least and adds a nice glow of sweetness. Burns at a moderate rate and will not bite not matter how eagerly you draw for another taste. You could easily smoke this blend all day while you sit for that trophy fish to hit your line.

Angler's Dream... Subtly sweet, nutty burleys, delicate notes of honey and oats, and the slightest bit of sweet hay and earth from the virginia. The cavendish lends a little brown sugar sweetness and smooths out the blend. Throughout the smoke you'll notice a very light cinnamon tingle, but it in no way distracts from, or obfuscates the other flavors. This is a smooth smoke. Reminds me of Mac Baren Golden Extra sans cocoa, plus cinnamon. The rough cut of the this tobacco is as ugly as any I've ever seen, and I had my doubts, but pack as is and you'll have a delightful and pleasant experience. I'm on my second consecutive bowl as I type this. Very tasty. 3.8 stars

Pretty much everything it claims to be. Most importantly, it isn't the slightest bit chemically or artificial tasting. It's the ideal "drug store"-inspired blend. The more I smoke it, the more I like it.

I think people Over Romanticize this blend because of it's attempt [ poor ] at an old school lightly aro blend . You want a real old school lightly aro blend ... IRC Old Colonial and you'll never give this blend a second thought ......... yes , it's cheap . The flavoring is bad . I get that it supposed to be old school , which I can appreciate , but it's not enjoyable to me at all . Normally , I'd be all over and old school mild aro such as this but the tobacco seems , whith out going into long ramblings ... crap . I'm an old school aro fool and I cant tolerate the flavoring on what seems like sub standard tobacco , imo of course . Russ is a damn nice guy and I wish he'd use great tobacco .. like Watch City does . If the tobacco used is great ... it sure isn't processed well or something . I rarely write a " negative " review .. but this one sucks .

I echo the comments of the previous reviewer. It's OK but I don't see myself buying more.

Govern Yourself Accordingly

I bought this because of the price and my particular fondness to american burley blends as of late. My can was opened promptly and the contents stuffed in to a good ole Missouri Meerschaum. The first bowl was a tad disappointing and I thought I was going to look at in my cellar until I could find some soul to give it to. Look at it I did after I put it in to multiple jars. There it sat for quite a while. I most recently pulled it out to give it another go. I've been going through all of opened stuff lately. However, this time I gave it a chance in a briar. It was not what I remembered at all. That wonderful nutty flavor that is so characteristic of burleys was up front and in full effect. This is a comforting and relaxing blend that you do not need to think about. It packs well, it lights even better, and not a slight hint of bite so you will want to smoke it to the end. This is great while writing or reading because it just pleases in the background. I think of it as that feeling you get when you have a roast cooking. It is warm, comforting, and you have the knowledge that everything will be alright.

This was a decent blend and is perfect for what it was designed to be, which is an all day smoke. Notes of sweet Burley came through with some other spice I couldn't identify, (the cinnamon?) This blend wasn't the most interesting blend but when angling for fish on a quiet stream, one is not looking for something complex. I give this one two and a half stars.

Soli Deo gloria!

I can’t agree that this is a good tasting tobacco. I don’t think I could recommend this to anyone. I’ve read reviews here trying to find any of the flavors mentioned, but all I get is very weak burly with an attempt at some kind of flavor. It doesn’t work for my tastes and I’m not sure with it being so mild how it could possibly generate the volume of flavors mentioned. It also causes tongue but even when puffed very slowly. I wouldn’t recommend spending a penny on this - find something else.

I am not sure that the intense hype is warranted, but this is a great blend. It is definitely not the kind of tobacco that will require much from you. It packs easily and it burns evenly all the way down the bowl. If you decide to try it, and like the flavors, it will creep its way into your rotation. It is a great blend and one that is really mellow and requires very little attention from the piper.
