Tin note: honey, vanilla, syrup, liquer
In a form of thin flakes
Taste: Sweet breads, almost no flavoring, little bit of honey only, mainly tobacco taste. Needs relights. Nice sweet honey room note.
Overall a good smoke, too bad the flavoring is almost negligible. I expect more flavoring from an aromatic. However if I look at it like a virginia blend, it's really good - sweet with a small hint of honey.

Most of my experiences with Dan have been largely good, and having just drowned in the intense flavor-palooza that was Devil's Holiday, I had great expectations for this Aromatic. Honey plus Vanilla, sounded like a dream come true!
The miniature tin is great and pocket approved. Opening it revealed a circular 'welcome' label (adding a flair of quality), and what I thought was a plug, but upon closer inspection, turned out to be tightly packed, wafer thin flakes. The aroma was pleasant, but lacked the honey/vanilla I was hoping for, rather it had the sweet "hay" aroma I associate with Virginia. As an Aromatic, Choo Choo did not lean on any candy topping (which I found a shame).
I will confess that the first few puffs did open up a light honey flavor that played well with the easy smoking Virginia. I didn't get any Vanilla really, and I think in this case (being so lightly topped), it seemed the right call.
Once you accept this as a lightly flavored Virginia and don't expect a candy bar to between your lips... it was a success. It's just too bad I had a sweet tooth when I cracked it open.
