An aromatic replacement for the discontinued MacBaren Honey and Chocolate blend. Basically, all you will taste is honey and chocolate, though I did detect a light golden cavendish flavor and extremely mild vanilla after a little puffing. If you liked the original, you may find this to be a very acceptable alternative. The strength and taste of the blend is potent, and I recommend a small bowl if you’re not used to an intense aro. The nic-hit is just past being mild. Won't bite or get harsh. It may require a little dry time, and the lingering after taste and room notes are very noticeable in a sweet, pleasant way. Requires a few relights, and will leave a little moisture in the bowl. Your neighbors will think you're baking a cake, and invite themselves in for a slice.

This is a delightful fuller flavored aro. Love to smoke this in a cob or my MacQueen Churchwarden. These two flavors are a great go together and best enjoyed on a full stomach as the nicotine content is rather intense. I really enjoy this blend after a meal with coffee. This cavendish is mostly ribbon cut red VA with some toasted dark blended in. The casing as mentioned is a great go together and doesn't completely overshadow the base flavors of the tobacco's. I really enjoy the nutty sweet finish of this blend.

A nicely done aro by Sutliff. The Honey brings forth a subtle sweetness from the onset. It wasn't until about a third of the way through that the chocolate/cocoa essence was presented - albeit subtly. The palate remains engaged nicely without this being one of those over-the-top aros from beginning to the end. A very nice aro to rotate in. I don't see it as an aro to hit bowl after bowl. But, it does make for a fine break from the norm.

The tin note kind of reminds me of those scratch and sniff stickers from when I was younger. That mixed with a cookie dough tube when it's freshly opened.

The moisture is a teeny bit too much for my preference but it's not goopy. Just stlightly moist and sticky. But these things are expected with aromatics.

The smoke was very mild to me. I thought I would experience more honey but the chocolate seems to be the main player here. It burns well and not too hot. It does tend leave some dottle and will ghost a pipe. I've never tried the Mac Baren version but this was surprisingly pleasant. The room note is very agreeable.

One of the better aromatics I've tried and probably one of my favorites among Sutliff's

I bought this in bulk but I'm guessing it is the same tobacco.

the bag note was sweet chocolate which also comes through the smoke. I was happily surprised that the base tobacco is also present. Moisture content was perfect without any drying. Can sting the tongue if pushed too hard, but when smoked gently delivers a great smoke.

The nic content was higher than I expected as I could feel it for sure. Pairs great with a cup of coffee

This is one I'll enjoy smoking the rest of and might pick up some more.

This is a nice aromatic. The honey and chocolate are subtle, but can be distinguished. Nice room note and mild smoke. One of the better Sutliff blends in my opinion.
