Drew Estate Central Park Stroll
(2.92)
We really cherish the days when we'd stroll through Central Park on a lazy Summer afternoon. The sweet aroma makes you feel like you’re standing outside a bakery; notes of chocolate, vanilla and caramel blend harmoniously with mellow tobaccos.
Notes: 2013 IPCPR release.

My second aromatic to try. Out of the tin this smells like fresh baked bread. I would say that it is overly moist and it leaves brownish stain on your fingers. I have to dry it out for a full day to have an almost perfect moisture.
First light was okay. Immediately you can smell the vanilla wafting out. Due to its rather high moisture content it takes a few relights. Mid-bowl the chocolatey aroma creeps in and out. A hint of vanilla every now and then.
It pains me to say that CPS leave a gloop at the bottom of the bowl and there is a sticky mess at the base. I will try it out in a couple of weeks to update this blend.

A culinary tobacco if there ever was one. Dark, wet (a little too wet) tobacco that reminds you of a chocolate shop the minute you open it. Excellent tin note with hints of vanilla and caramel as well. Smokes well after a little drying. Solid nicotine level with thick rich and creamy smoke. The chocolate stays in the forefront, with vanilla and caramel coming in at the last third of the bowl. A great tobacco for after dinner.

A lot of times, I shy away from Cavendish blends, as so many of them seem to bite on my taste buds. I found this to be a very mild and pleasurable. The chocolate flavor is there in the proper proportion. The room sent is very nice. The smoke is smooth, with the flavors rich and balanced. For those who like aromatics blends, this is very good.

09/04 Update - after 3 months, I have decided this is not a very good smoke - drab taste, bowl gets murky towards the bottom....not for me.
Tin Note - Tin note is a very nice chocolatey-liqour smell. Liquor smell has died down a little after one week open, starting to smell more like a brownie.
Room Note - Pleasant, chocolate latte type smell
Draw/Flavor - Nice smooth draw, no bite for me. Flavor and aftertaste I would equate to a Middleton's Black and Mild...nothing fabulous, but a nice relaxing smoke. I will try again after the tin has been open for 3 weeks like other reviews have suggested. Again, nothing special about this blend, if its not any better in 2 weeks it will be cellared.

The taste is pretty good until 3/4 of the way down. There is a definite chocolate flavor up front. I have tried this blend several times and it bites the hell out of my tongue and the last 1/4 of the bowl tastes charred and ashy. Boswell's Pipers Pleasure is 10 times better than this will ever be in my opinion.
