Interesting to find this blend reviewed here. It is not my favorite but I like it well enough to give it 4 stars.
This was my favorite aromatic a while back, back when the aromatics I enjoyed were heavy aromatics. At this point my tastes have changed and I don't smoke aromatics very often, but I still enjoy lighter aromatics on occasion. Back then, I smoked pound after pound of this stuff and found it very satisfying.
The taste, to me, suggests lots of Cavendish in this blend. The aromatic flavor is a combination of vanilla, coffee, and possibly rum. It is a blend I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a traditional American aromatic and wants something of higher quality than, say, Captain Black, or the other traditional Lane offerings. George's Blend is probably the best smoke shop house blend there is. It is also unique and skillfully blended for what it is. George, the original owner, was a true connoisseur and a master of his craft. He blended some stuff for me a while back and he was always spot on.
The only thing that turns me away from this blend is the "secret recipe." Don't get me wrong, it is a very good blend, but I just don't like the whole "mystery weed" approach.
If you live in the area and like aromatics, definitely try it.

Consistently one of my favorite blends and from a great little tobacco shop in a great little town (Holland, MI). The recipe is still a secret, but when I open the bag it is most like an American (slightly aromatic) English blend. The main scent I get is chocolate, and the tobacco seems to be of great quality and has always burned well for me with lots of smoke. Great for a night smoke on a cold dark night near the lake in Holland.
