Pipesandcigars.com - The Taxman Cometh (Russ' Monthly Blend).
Unlike a lot of vanilla aromatics which list black Cavendish as an ingredient it isn't a sticky black mixture. Most of the blend's brown and dark brown, with a lesser amount of black. The cut's coarse, it smells of sweet vanilla, and the hydration's good.
The tobaccos don't seem too 'sticky' or clumsy, which I expected from the appearance. Although the black Cavendish is present the rugged Burley keeps it from running amok. I get plenty of vanilla, but also a definite caramel-sweetness. This stays present throughout a bowl, although is 'louder' for the initial quarter. After this the vanilla makes it clear that the caramel is subordinate in comparison! I forgot to note the relights, which must mean they caused no issue! I'm yet to have even a 'peck' to my tongue.
Nicotine: a jot above mild. Room-note: I don't think it could bother anyone!!
The Taxman Cometh? A decent aromatic which deserves three stars:
Recommended.

This is a great blend for when I want an aromatic that isn't too sweet. It has the vanilla and caramel there, but it doesn't slap you in the face with sweetness. I can still enjoy the tobacco underneath the flavors. It is a bit like lane 1-q, and goes great in a pot shaped pipe bowl. I use the Morgan from Missouri meerschaum for this blend. All in a decent aromatic blend with a very nice aroma

This blend kind of reminds me of a slightly sweeter Lane 1Q. If you like 1Q, you will like this blend. Mildly sweet kind of like vanilla, all day smoke.
