My tastes have grown (matured?) over more than 40 years and I'm not ashamed to say that nowadays I increasingly relish finding subtle traits in a pipe-full much more than the obvious up-front 'strong' notes! I enjoy a hearty Latakia blend, but... (nowadays) balance this with the gentleness of some of the 'non-confrontational' aromatics that now abound.
HG-2000 has some very subtle nuances that only emerge after 5-10 minutes of gentle 'conversation.' Its not a blend that will "blow your socks off" - but why would a thinking briar-person want THAT? Slightly nutty/vanilla in the first third of a bowl and then a new faint sweetness as of caramel in the second third of the bowl. Presumably a fair burley content is the reason it remains cool in the last third - NO BITE - and produced good, thick smoke for me right down to the modest dottle [in a Peterson Dublin 999]. It's a pleasurable blend with it's own innocuous 'character.' A bit like a refreshing glass of spring-water that cleanses the mouth!! Try it, and remember it's a subtle tobacco.

There are times, especially mornings, when I prefer something a little milder in a pipe tobacco, and this blend fits the bill. It is a mild aromatic with a lovely blend between the casing and the tobacco taste. I agree that it's a great blend for beginners, but I find that I come back to it on many occasions that call for something a little milder - or if I particularly want the room note to be appealing to non-smokers. The aroma in the bag is fairly pronounced, but the taste is beautifully balanced and not at all overly flavored. Smokes dry with no bite. All in all a very good blend.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn this is some combination of BCA and BLWB. I'm sure I taste the same flavoring as BCA, but its backed up by the burley. This is a quality aromatic. There is a pronounced tobacco flavor that melds nicely with the flavoring. It burns nicely, doesn't bite, and keeps its flavor consistently throughout the bowl. A very strong three stars.

My local tobacconist sells this as "1990's", a tobacco of the future.
This is a sweet smelling aromatic, reminds me of a chocolate or vanilla aroma. But as sweet as it smells, it has almost no flavor. It burns fairly wet, especially at the end of the bowl, make sure your pipe passes the pipe cleaner test. This is one of my first tobaccos that I tried, and I would recommend it to any beginner pipe enthusiast.
The room note is very pleasant, even to non smokers.
I keep this on hand to remind me of the flavors that I liked when I started, and also to give to visitors that would like to try a pipe for the first time (I keep a supply of corncobs on hand).

This is a nice soft smoke. Lighter than I usually prefer, but this grew on me. Great aroma, nice tobacco under it. Many aromatics to too weak for me - I burn my tongue trying to get some flavor whether topping or tobacco. This delivers, and could be an all day smoke.
