Well this is the annual contribution from W.O. Larsen to special editions. I have been following them for several years. Some where outstanding, most of them just on the average. The 2014 edition is rather on the average side.
In the tin there is a fruitful aroma mostly redcurrant or blackcurrant. Smoking it is rather nice, room note satisfactory (that is no complaints such as 'are you smoking jam?'). Nothing much to say about it. Worth the money for a good aromatic but one would expect something more with a special selection.
Sorry, I forgot the design of the tin: some where rather lousy in the past, this one is rather distinctive and will be much helpful for paper clips or that kind of things.

Opening the fresh tin revealed an even mix of brown and black ribbons in various cuts and sizes. The moisture level was about right for me, and the only smell was of passion fruit. Both the unlit sip and charring light brought the taste of passion fruit to my lips and this taste dominates and lasts through the whole bowl. Every so often there was a hint of vanilla, but it was barely noticeable. It was pleasant when smoked slowly, and reminded me of a mango blend I purchased from a B&M once. The finish was short, but it left a cocoa aftertaste that I found strange. It also left one of the thickest gray ashes I’ve ever come across. The room note was pleasant enough and over all it was a pleasant aromatic. Unfortunately, the flavor profile was just not for me. If it can still be found, aromatic fans should give it a try and see what they think.
