Vauen Auenland - The Shire
(2.62)
Virginia tobacco of different shades and cutting widths, delicately rounded off with ripe, dark Cavendish and a hint of Burley. Fruit aromas of juicy oranges and sweet peaches give this mixture its delicious taste. An extremely gentle, excellent mixture with perfect burn.

When opening the tin you find moist, ribbon cut Virginias with some black Cavendish sprinkled throughout.. but more Virginia. Has the unmistakeable scent of peaches, and a little nuttiness. Needs to be dried initially a bit whether on a tray or in your pouch. Pack it very loosely on bottom and you will be rewarded with a sweet, soft and richly scented smoke. You can taste the peaches and perhaps almonds. The nuttiness really comes through in the smoke. A very high quality tobacco carries these flavors well and mixes with the Virginia and Cavendish perfectly. A great, light smoke that pairs well with coffee and leaves your pipe incredibly sweet and a room note that I don't think would offend even the pickiest.
I had to change my rating to only 2 stars because it severely ghosted my pipe with a medicinal peach flavor, that when removing the cake later in an attempt to remove this ghost actually smelled like cat spray! It stank so bad I was worried my pipe was ruined. Only smoke this in a dedicated pipe or cob!!!

Vauen - Aueland - The Shire.
Rather than Orange's and Peach's, I find this has a taste and smell that's more like Jelly Babies or fruit gum sweets. It has got a fruitiness to it, the type that suggests citrus, but there's also a sugariness; it's this that gives me the impression of jellied sweets. Strangely, I enjoy this; normally I'd run a mile from this type of flavour!
There's not much nicotine in this; it's not the mildest I've had, but still, it's no stronger than very mild.
The tobaccos offer very little taste, partly due to the sweet topping cancelling them out somewhat.
One of the negatives is tongue bite; it's for this reason I score it only two points.
A good blend, but it could be better.
Somewhat recommended.

When I first opened the tin - I was actually looking forward to that as I was driving home from work, the room got filled with a sweet smell. As I closed in on the tin the number one note, the main violin if you will, is apricot. There are other things in there, but my nose detected the apricot by far. The composition is pretty sticky, not sure what they cased it with, but I told myself that I wouldn't risk any other pipe than my aro dedicated briar. I was right about that, I have only smoked two bowls, roughly about three hours ago and the pipe is full of apricot aroma. The color of the tobacco was mainly medium brown with some black ribbons, which I presume was black cavendish. When lit it burns pretty evenly, but like I said mine had some age to it and it definitely was gentle on moisture. No tongue bite, no relights, but nothing outstanding either. To my surprise, the blend stands out from other aromatic tobaccos in as far as retaining some of its apricot aroma. A bit of spiciness is also present, more like a perique peppery note more than the advertised burley, but that's about it. It's not your regular aromatic, where you feel like drawing in hot air but it's a world away from what I have expected. My wife was pleased, saying that the room note "was something like an expensive tea brewing in the room". My answer was ... "it doesn't taste the half of the smell it has in the tin" ...

This tobacco has a wonderful tin and room note. It burns well and has a nice mild sweet flavor, pretty much exactly like the description. It will definitely ghost your pipe. Seems to be good quality, but I find Burley very drying, so I prefer other blends that don't use it.
