Orlik - Club Mixture.
Although it says it's a ribbon the pouch contains more of a mixture of different cuts, some ribbon, some small shaggy bits and some little clumps of flake. The flakes are not of a size to require rubbing out, they are fine to 'stuff and puff' but they are still tiny flake pieces. The aroma that comes across is a bit deceiving, it smells a lot more aromatic than the smoke tastes! Straight from the sealed pouch it's ready to smoke.
Once lit it's a very relaxing smoke. I can't really identify the added flavour as vanilla exactly but the smoke has a mild, sweet, creamy quality to it. Due to the creaminess I think the ultimate accompaniment would be a glass of Irish cream liqueur! This burns even giving off a fairly cool smoke. On the negative side it can bite a little but that's eradicated if it's sipped a little. I find the vanilla flavour becomes a little more pronounced after the first half of the bowl has been smoked, it still has a mild quality but is more identifiable as being vanilla. I find the nicotine to be quite mild in Club Mix', I think it would be a great blend to begin the pipe smoking hobby with.
I don't agree with the term aromatic being used for this, there is a tiny amount of added flavour but not enough to warrant the term 'aromatic' being employed. Although there are a few tiny issues it still deserves full marks.
Four stars.

Love it as a daily smoke. I tend to smoke hard and never got a bite from this one. Fairly strong chocolate notes for me. I am not an aromatic fan but this one has enough other enjoyment for me that I love it, particularly the room note. I plan to get more tins at my next opportunity.

Opening the tin I smelled chocolate. Clearly milk chocolate, because I favor pure. This is the first time I disagree with Jim Inks. I definitely do not smell vanilla. In the smoking all flavors are gone. As if this is not an aromatic mixture. Strange but experienced. The tobacco burns very well en it completely burns up in my pipe, but that can be the quality of the pipe - new and Meerschaum. Little nicotine. pleasant to the end. Room note mild and pleasant. All day smoke.
