Sorry to break with the pack here, but this is really great stuff. It is what it is- An American Aromatic. It should not be compared to anything but that class of Pipe tobacco. In that class it is TOP DOG! I taste and smell just a hair of latakia in the blend along with a strong vanilla/chocolate casing that is ever present throughout the entire bowl. Richly delicious, and yes, it is sweet but in a very sophisticated way. Try an ounce before passing judgement.By the way if you do not like American Aromatics do not review it. Why bother? For those of us who understand everything has its place this has earned that place at the top of the AROMATIC food chain. 4 Aromatic stars!

This blend was fun to smoke because I could load up bowl after bowl after bowl and never tire of it. Just a hint of flavor, and good flavor at that. It is gentle on the tongue and will not produce fatigue no matter how many bowls of it you light up in a day. Better than 3-Star Dutch in that you could taste the tobacco, but not something a veteran smoker will turn to on a regular basis. For something unique and fun to load up with, give this a try!

This is one of the newer Three Star blends, in the light aromatic catagory. This tobacco does not follow in the classic aromatic catagory IMO. There is no overbearing sweatness to it. It is a cool smoke, with no wet heel in your pipe. I accidently found a very tasty nitch for this tobacco, in that I currently enjoy this with my morning coffee. It is a blend of seven different unknown tobaccos, except for the obvious black cavendish. I find this blend a nice companion with coffee in that several mild spices appear to dance on my tongue, awakening my taste buds, and during the second and third portions of the bowl, the occasional subtle taste of chocolate begins to appear, although not in an overpowering way, notably from the cavendish. This overall presentation makes for a tasty treat while providing a mild, yet flavorful, first morning smoke. I have tried this tobacco later in the day, but find it not to have the same presentation as the first morning pipeful with coffee. This is probably due to switching to richer tobaccos mid-day on, i.e. Dunhill.
