As my reviews show, I don't have the most sophisticated of tastes when it comes to pipe tobacco, but I know what I like...and I like this. I have a pipe stuck in my mouth most of the day and the light, true tobacco taste, combined with an aroma that always, and I mean always, gets compliments. The aroma is not the candy shop smell, no its smells like tobacco...and its pleasant. I air-dry mine for about 24 hours after opening. Give it a try...you might be surprised.

I smoked this one while experiencing Lovecraft´s Color Out of Space (an illustrated version), I´m not sure how this match worked out based on the bitterness of this Lovecraft´s story.
The smell from the bag is kind of nutty, raisiny, sweet but with no definable specific aroma, which for my personal view is great since it adds bouquet exploration. The first flavours to appear, when smoked, would be if there is something like raisin butter, like a bowl of milk with granola and raisins. For the last third the wooden flavour takes over.
I needed several religths, maybe I should have let the tobacco rest a while before loading the bowl. The room note is super pleasant and light. Being an aromatic but with no flavour added is an adventure of light flavors and aromas.
Since this tobacco is light it would be a good choice for an everyday smoke, but definitely Lovecraft and aromatics are not a good match.
