This tobacco was part of my Altadis free tobacco sampler and I was pleasantly surprised. I've not had good luck with whiskey flavored tobaccos in the past, finding most of them to bite badly and burn hot. CBW did none of these things. It had a nice sweet flavor with an occasional note of the bourbon peeking through. At one point, I thought I caught a quick taste of the Oriental tobacco. The tobacco was extremely moist in the pouch, yet burned surprisingly well. As for value, well, you can't beat free. This is available from Iwan Ries, Mars Cigars, and many other tobacco shops for reasonable prices.

I tried this blend as it was included in a huge free sampler package from Altadis. I didn't expect much from the tobacco but was pleasantly surprised. It burns cool, doesn't really bite and has a pleasant taste and aroma. Like most American aromatic blends, it is one dimensional. The whiskey flavor is pleasant but not overwhelming. All things considered, it's a decent smoke.

I received this tobacco in the free three-pack offer in Pipes & Tobaccos Magazine, and I must say the Whiskey was my favorite. Though I now smoke mostly English blends, I started out with aromatics, and enjoy them still now and again. This blend has a typical mild aromatic flavor. I tasted the whiskey off and on throughout the smoke, which was pleasant, and occasionally got a "real" tobacco tatse. The smoke had a bit of spice to it by midway down the bowl, which I appreciated. China Black Whiskey performs admirably outdoors in a good breeze--no tongue bite and just a small amount of wet dottle. All in all, a decent aromatic and a definite crowd-pleaser in the aroma department.

Aromatic fans listen up. This tobacco is tasty,spicy and really good. It is black, cased heavily but not sticky sweet. It packs well and lights the first time. It burns well down the bowl and doesn't get wet. The room aroma is outstanding! I have had many ladies tell me that the tobacco smells so good that they would like to have my children. My wife is not a good judge of the tobacco since she is a tobacco nazi,and to her,all tobacco smoke smells like an out-house burning.Yes I smoke out doors and in my truck only.Try this aromatic for a change of pace,it really is a good surprise.
