I really enjoy this blend, the flavor is exquisite with a very definite nutty, creamy tasting smoke. I generally mix it with a strong Virginia Flake, to give it some extra punch.

This blend reminds me of Uhle's Old Shoe blend. Like Uhle's use of root beer flavouring to create a harmonious delicious treat, the equally unlikely addition of pistachio flavour to mild tobacco just works.
It has always arrived at just the right moisture level for my smoking, goes great in any pipe I've put it in, and it's not expensive. Great stuff!

Pistachio is another in a series of aromatics by the blender Peter Stokkebye. Fortunately, this is one that is NOT based on tosated black cavendish. These tend to be the better PS blends, IMO.
Perhaps because this has a nut rather than fruit or honey topping, it is only lightly sweet. The pistachio in not an in-your-face topping, but more of a subtle hint of nuttiness. I personally do not find nut flavors all that appealing in tobacco (e.g., Peterson's Sunset Breeze). Compared to Sunset Breeze, Pistachio is quite mild, both on the tobacco side and on the additive side.
Pistachio is a nice change-of-pace smole every now and again, but not one I will visit frequently.

One of the first blends I have ever tried from my local tobacco shop. This stuff is sweet and leaves an amazing room note. I mixed this with nougot and it was even better. Doesn't burn too hot or leave too much moisture in the bowl either, shocking for an aromatic. Only problem I have with this blend, it's so damn hard to find!

Let me say that I don't generally seek out Aromatics, but I decided that my friends needed to appreciate something in the room besides (what I perceive as) the rich lustre of my usual VaPers, etc, etc.
Walking out of the Post Office I could smell the simmering peach aroma of this tabak breathing out from amongst my other purchases in their shipping box. I couldn't wait to load a bowl with this perfectly humid blend. The smoke is sweetish, but not like comparably priced aromatics that fowl a pipe with syrup. No gloop or girgle here. Just a warm nutty taste like cashews or almonds joining the rich creme of a Jarsberg or an Emmental cheese. Unlit, the topping changes over time, melding into a warm cookie smell that is just plain nice to have in the room. And the aftertaste is very clean. You can enjoy before or after a meal. Not a strong tobbaco, but rich in consistant flavour.
It is Stokkebe's so the price is definitely right, especially if you buy quantity.
