Summary: a better than average quality aromatic that still obscures tobacco flavor under waves of butterscotch.
Combined from Burleys, Virginias and some Cavendish, this tobacco emerges moist but not damp from the tin. A strong tin note of butterscotch or some other sweet vanilla-infused concoction emerges. The tobacco lights easily and the butterscotch flavor dominates for the first half of the bowl, along with the oleaginous taste common to most aromatics. At that point, this blend burns down into a sweetened Virginia flavor with mild Burley nuttiness. It is well-executed, but the choices behind its execution -- aromatics that exclude the natural flavor especially -- doom this one to ruin.
