As my pallet has expanded to a variety of different tobaccos, I have moved away from most aromatics. But I find myself continuing to enjoy this wonderful one from the only brick & mortar store in the Detroit metropolitan area. Granted, if I am sitting down for a good long smoke in front of the fire, I probably would not choose this tobacco. (Unless, of course, the room is populated with pipe tobacco virgins. They tend to love the roomnote of this tobacco).
I like this tobacco walking the dog, working in the garden, or just putzing around the house. It is light and easy to smoke. Never bites. easy to keep lit and does not leave any doodle in the bowl at the end.
So this is my 1st review and I think this is a worthwhile tobacco for anyone just starting out. But even the more experienced piper who would like 1 or two aero's in their rotation. Nothing complex about it. Just a simple light vanilla flavoring. There is some Virginia and maybe some burley. Hard to hate this one.

This was the first non-OTC blend I tried. I recently moved to the area an saw this brick-n-mortar store (Hill & Hill). Being a cigar smoker, I decided to check it out. Upon entering I was greeted by a friendly bloke named Jim. After talking for a minute, started asking about pipe smoking. That question turned into a 30 min convo about the hobby. Jim, the owner suggested I start with a corn-cob and then told me is Haymarket blend was the best he sold. Not knowing anything about anything pipe tobacco related, I bought some. I should note he also spent time with me showing me how to pack, light, and smoke a pipe properly.
A few years into my pipe journey I still find myself gravitating to Haymarket. For me, its a great aromatic blend, not goopy at all, a subtle cavendish flavor with a good base flavor of Virginia and burly. I am somewhat biased as I have just begun venturing to other blends, but this is still one of my favorites. I think it's worth a try.
