Hearth & Home Vermont Meat Candy
(2.79)
Vermont Meat Candy combines two great flavors - maple and bacon. We start with a Cavendish that's been given a deep, sweet maple flavor and then we added dark Burley that's been fire-cured with hickory wood, which delivers the flavor and aroma of hardwood-smoked bacon. Just think about those Sunday mornings when you'd dip your bacon into the syrup from your pancakes and fell in love with the sweet, smoky and salty flavor. Now you can have that flavor without the calories or cholesterol!

Vermont Meat Candy was a let down for me. After all the hype about this blend I expected more. I did have a lot of flavor to it but more a chemical taste than anything. Tobacco burned far to hot, lead to tongue bite and fowled up my pipe with a chemical ghost. Overall, I was very disappointed with Vermont Meat Candy.

Once again disappointed. I was very excited for this blend to arrive. Out of the tin it smelt kind of weird. A bit like overly used casing. The strength was okay, and the room note was okay.
The taste however was there, but it was not good. They tried way to hard to make this blend pop, and made nothing but a tongue biting, foul tasting let down.
I may have gotten carried away, but it's all opinions, and I hope this helps somebody.

As a lover of bacon, I really hoped this tobacco would be special. I opened the pouch and disappointment set in. I can't really put my finger on it, but it smelled more of chemicals than a run-of-the-mill aromatic. Once lit, the chemicals came through in the taste. I did not pick up a bacon taste at all and to top it off, it burned hot. I handed it off to my son-in-law, a smoker of English blends and Maduro cigars who thought it was "ok." That was generous! The room note got a thumbs down from the Mrs.

I must have missed something. Most of the reviews were pretty positive, but what I received in no way aligned with what I expected. No particular flavor, no particular aroma, harsh, higher in vitamin N than I prefer. As I say, perhaps I missed something, but this won't be a repeat for me.
