Antietam is my go to blend when I want an extra mild, cool smoke after a crazy day at the office that allows me to just sit and mellow out for an hour. It has never been bitey or harsh and the moisture level is near to perfect as it does not leave my pipes wet like other aromatics can. There is little to no nicotine for those sensitive to it. This blend does not ghost a pipe either like some do. I have smoked some Black Cavendish cherry-vanilla blends that are very in your face in comparison to Antietam but its taste and aroma are very pleasing. All of my friends love it when I smoke this blend and even ask me to smoke it when we get together. The flavor of this blend is mild but it does come through nicely in the taste. To me, there is no real aftertaste. I have smoked Antietam in a variety pipes and it smoked well in all of them from corn cobs to briars to meerschaums in short pipes to churchwardens (unlike the Sherman's March blend which to me only smokes well in a churchwarden).
I do recommend this blend. It may not be your go to tobacco but it is mild enough to smoke all day, anytime, and almost any place where we are allowed to smoke.
