I absolutely love HG-2000! I've yet to settle on one tobacco that is my end-all, be-all, but of the dozens of blends I've tried in both aromatic and English blends, HG-2000 is one of my go-to's.
It's not a heavy aromatic with a heavy casing or topping, nor is it anywhere close to the rich, full-flavors of VaPers or other English offerings. What it is though, is a mild, cool-smoking, non-biting, light aromatic with a VERY subtle hint of vanilla and maybe something else that I just can't put my finger on.
What I love about this blend is how mellow and unobtrusive it is. You can smoke this all day, bowl-after-bowl and it never gets harsh, "bitey" or overwhelming like a heavy, richly-spiced (read Perique) Balkan or English blend can.
Lights very easily. Minimal relighting. Burns to a fine ash. No goop at the end of the smoke. Towards the last 1/3 of the bowl it can taste a little "ashy" but the main flavor remains nonetheless. One of the few blends that my wife, who absolutely hates smoke of any kind, will say, "That one smells ok" to. This is the one blend I've encountered that I could see myself buying a few pounds of and keeping on-hand forever.

I stopped by a tobacconist while I was back home and popped open a self-serve jar that was labeled "Dunhill MM965." At the time I had not tried MM965 before and wasn't aware that the jar was mislabeled (whether it was purposeful or from laziness I have yet to find out).
The aroma I got was a pleasant sweet vanilla with a perfumey hint to it with some sour twinge and almost a leather smell hidden in there as well. It was a nice golden brown color and in thin ribbons. It immediately clicked and made my mouth water so I bought a few ounces of what I thought was MM965.
The smoke was delicious to say the least. Sweet, slightly perfumey, and the coolest smoke I have ever had. It leaves a fresh cool taste in my mouth afterwards and the smell left on me afterwards is very pleasant. After a few smokes I decided to get more to store for later.
Fast forward a couple months to when I bought more "MM965" and what I got was completely different. I realized that what I bought back home was something else. I spent a while scouring various tobaccos looking for similar characteristics and finally found the name to this great tobacco.
It is mild but there's still some vitamin N in there. Very cool smoking and satisfying plumes of smoke. It's pleasant enough to just sit and smell in the jar as well as the aroma when smoked (vanillla, leather, perfume).
