My 2oz. sample isn't going to last long. I don't find this aromatic to be overwhelming like a dessert tobacco or a flavor bomb. There is subtlety in a bowl of this beneath the artfully combined casings, and the room note is quite agreeable to those that have been nearby. All tastes vary. Mine prefers a mostly fruity note with a bare hint of cavendish, and that's what Optimal Choice seems to present, at least to this guy's sensibilities. Giving this one five stars.
