Esoterica Tobacciana Hastings
(2.70)
An aromatic tobacco made in the same time honored tradition as our English and Virginia blends. Five types of Virginia tobacco and an equal proportion of black Virginia cavendish with an added aromatic essence. A soft and gentle smoke of outstanding quality.

Summary: a decent Virginia/Cavendish mix hidden behind aromatic flavorings, making it a useful distracted smoke.
Sweet leaves in combination form the basis of this mellow blend presumably designed for an all-day smoke. The Virginia gives it a bold sweetness, and the Cavendish rounds out the flavor, but most of what comes through is the apricot-brandy style of top flavoring. This is one of the better aromatics I have smoked but still, the top flavoring leads to a stingy bite and the concealment of most of the tobacco flavor creates a mild existential emptiness I dislike.
