I loved this blend. Normally I buy the Golden Extra or the Virginia No. 1 to blend with cavendish, but this I enjoyed smoking as is.

This is a very sweet smoke as the name implies. However, the sweet honey flavored topping, does not stop the taste of the tobacco from coming through and that is a major plus in my book.
The burley stays way in the background as the virginia dominates which is part of why this blend is so sweet. Matter of fact, this gets sweeter as it's smoked down.
The major negative for me is that between the casing and the natural sugars in the virginia, this has a tendency to nip at the tounge, if not puffed very, very slowly.
All in all, a fun smoke that's a potential change of pace for Burley fanciers.

This is a very nice smoke, my local tobacco shop stocks it making it affordable to me. As the name states it is very sweet. While having a topping, a almost honey flavor, it retains a true tobacco taste. This is as flavored as I generally will go for. While this has some burley in it, the burley is very hard to detect. The virginia is the main flavor which works to make it more sweet. This is a unusual smoke which gets sweeter as you go through the bowl. I find this fun and a change of pace. There is a trace of bite in this which seems odd considering how sweet it is. I think you will either love or hate this blend. This burns well and often requires just one match. I have been real torn between calling it a favorite or a smoke on occasion but decided to go with the three star since it is really sort of a novelity smoke.
