A black and brown Cavendish ribbon with an aromatics usual heady aroma, this one of a strong vanilla. Came overmoist and needed some drying time but this could also be smoked at tin moisture. I did both but preferred it just a bit dryer.

An interesting blend. In snotty jest, I refer to full aromatics as Goopers, due to their tendency to smoke wet. This was a near-goopless Gooper. There was just a bit of excessive moisture at the bottom of the bowl. And the flavor was everything a heavy aro smoker could ask for, as it takes the typical aromatic flavors and elevates them to richer territory. If you like vanilla and caramel in a tobacco blend, you'll get more of that here than any other blend I've smoked. There is more than a hint of chocolate as well. I found no tobacco taste in this one, and that's by design, I believe. And ok, I admit that my tastebuds are susceptible to the chemicals inherent in heavy aromatics, and this one is no exception. But relative to its rich taste, the chemical side-flavor is minimal. If you don't taste them much in typical aromatics, you probably won't here. I will not smoke this one again, but it's hard not to recommend it to lovers of heavy aromatics, for it's rich flavor and relative reduction of those shortcomings that I associate with the genre.
