This blend is a nice, mild, black Cavendish. It packed easily, lit easily, and burned with no trouble. I found it had a toasted coconut flavor to it. It smells wonderful.You will not taste much tobacco flavor. Sure, it has some PG, but not more than most other otc blends. Just pack it a bit on the loose side and puff slow and gentle. Need I say you will need to smoke this in a pipe reserved for aromatics? I had no trouble with tongue bite. The bottom line, is if you are looking for a mild, sweet, but not cloying aromatic, and you like coconut, this is worth a shot. It is indeed very good with black coffee. If you need a natural blend, with a heavy charge of nicotine, you will hate it.

If it were not for the heavy casing and the high moisture content, I could really get to like this stuff. I bought this from the downtown store in Chicago in a duel pouch combo. Not the tin. This stuff is very sticky to the touch which is more than I can tolerate. If it were packaged dryer, I could buy this and smoke it all the time. Hey, Iwan Ries management.....WAKE UP and smell the coffee. Oops, I mean the tobacco. You need to change this blend a bit. Start taking a few lessons from C&D !!

i found this to be a up and down smoke,it started out dry and sweet,but half way down the sweetness disappeared and my pipe started the gurgle that heavily cased aromatics can be famous for.the sweetness came back just a little after half way,but didn't last and smoked to fast this will definately heat up the pipe.all in all i thik its good for a beginner,preferably smoked in a straight pipe,or a cobb .i liked the aroma,although it didn't seem to last long.

It won't bite you, but it won't excite you either.
This blend offers a nice, slightly nutty floral scent in the pouch, and it's comprised of very lovely-looking leaf but, unfortunately, when smoked, there's just no 'there' there.
Slightly synthetic sweetness, on occasion sort of ashy-tasting, and often bordering on bland; but I believe it still beats a considerable majority of the other drugstore offerings in quality and is probably the best of the three blends in this line.

This baby is sweet, like eating a spoonful of maple syrup. It's wet out of the pouch, though tends to burn evenly--including your tongue. Others have remarked that smoking this blend is like puffing on hot air. I find the opposite to be true. I'm not talking about a big tobacco taste, but there's enough to keep things interesting. Very much along the lines of Captain Black White. So watch out, and don't expect a miracle.
