The grade of this cube cut tobacco is undenied. It contains some high quality leaf, manufacturing is immaculate, and if you like fruity aromatics, it'll give you a smooth and cool smoking experience.
So why do I not recommend it? Because I think it's a hoax!
This so called Limited Edition looks, smells and tastes just like some other pipe tobacco I know, that is freely available at a lesser price, the "W.Ø. Larsen Belle Epoque" to be specific. I think, they're the same tobacco.
Even the tin description is basically the same:
Peterson: "A fruity mixture of Virginia, Burley, and Oriental and spicy tobaccos, gently pressed and cut into cube. Black Cavendish and smooth coloured Virginia are subsequently added. The bend is refined with rum and the aromas of mango, maracuja and vanilla."
Larsen: "A fruity blend of Virginia, Burley, Oriental and spice tobacco are as a basic blend lightly pressed and cross cut. Subsequently Black Cavendish and bright Virginia are added. The blend is flavoured with rum, mango, maracuja and vanilla from Madagascar."
I feel ripped off, because the only limited thing about this pipe tobacco seems to be the tin.

Oh well, good leaf. And, I must admit, the flavouring is very balanced and mellow. My problem with aros is that, after a few puffs, you can forget what the heck of a tobacco you are smoking, because your mind is swept away from thousands of smells and connections to other smells. May I remind here that the nose, as the ears and the eyes, is actually PART of the brain, and the scent is the quickest of senses’ sensation to reach the hypothalamus. This is the reason why I like simple, unflavoured tobacco: to enjoy that marvellous trip through odors and tastes, but a trip that I can follow, rather than I am confused by! Moreover, underneath the flavours here you get a strong cavendish taste, which is, once more, just a mash-up of aromas, always sweet and without any distinct character. If you like it, smoke it. Not for me.

I bought it - then red the reviews and saw it was like Belle Epoque. I have reviewed Belle Epoque years ago (did not like it) and feel similar with St. Patrick's Day. The tobacco comes in small cubes. They are so easy to light that they tend to make a very hot burn: I almost damaged a pipe. Regarding the smoke, not very interesting...

The most intense aromatizants are mango (first of all) and honey (just second), but there are also something like liquor and ripe fruits. For me, the aromatizants are too strong, overhelming (overall, in the pipe after smoking). However, if you like these kinds of tobacco, try it.
