I cannot report as favorably as the previous reviewer about this blend. I found it too moist, or at least too much humectant. There was not much of a "tropical" taste either, though it was plenty sweet. It also had bite potential, IMO.
I have tried several McC aromatics and they can be classified in two general classes: 1) understated aromatics like Three-Cherry Blend with little topping/casing, and, 2) those with a lot of Black Cavendish that are goopy, sticky (bad sign), and sizzle when first lit(a very bad sign). Unfortunately, #100 Tropical falls into the latter category.
I will say that I did not have as much problem getting and keeping this lit, and it does have an OK room note. And, the price is right, I guess. Just not much to get excited about. I will smoke my 4 oz over the next few yrs, but will not replace it when it is gone.
Ah, yes, I should mention that if you have a meerschaum dedicated to aromatics, this is the way to best smoke this blend.
