When you open the sachet, the dominant aromas are vanilla and maple syrup. A fruity, sweet-and-sour note follows.
The strands are predominantly light brown.
Stuffing with a chisel-cup to arrange the mixture, which is made up of cubes.
Easy lighting.
From the very first whiffs, maple syrup takes center stage, followed by Virginia with a slight tart note.
In retro-olfaction, there's a slight floral note that doesn't last.
The aromas that waft through the air are powerful. Excellent.
In the middle of the first third, I perceive a fruity note, oscillating between yellow peach and apricot stone (amaretto?).
Vanilla enters the dance of aromas and flavors as the whole takes on body.
Smoke is not hot, but very present.
In the second third, the aromas explode. It's fruity, sweet, vanilla and tangy, but without being too saucy. This leaves plenty of room for tobacco.
I'm surprised by the sweetness that's also present, as the Black Cavendish accounts for barely 30 percent of the blend. Perhaps the Maryland adds something extra, even though it's not very sweet to begin with.
I also think that the cubes are made of this tobacco.
Whatever the case, the smoke is round and generous. I'm enjoying it.
At the end of the second third, a lemony note adds to the aromas.
The whole continues to build gently.
In the 3rd third, the vanilla fades gently. The sweet note remains linear.
In retro-olfaction, there's a very light note of sweet and sour.
Honey brings this fine tasting to a close.
In the end, the aromas were very present but not excessive.
Despite the presence of cubes, which can sometimes cause combustion problems, I found this blend to be very good. However, you'll need to use the chaff-cup a little more than usual.
Power goes from light to medium.
Very little moisture at the bottom of the bowl.
Another great success, and given its composition (Virginia, Maryland and Black Cavendish), which is quite unusual but works very well, I had a great time.
Thank you Alex for this wonderful discovery

Sweet, balanced, slow burning (with potential to get hot). The Maryland is the star in this blend, slowing the whole thing down and regulating everything to manageable temperatures, which allows you to enjoy the full spectrum of aromas. Although, as with all aromatics, it is a little light for my liking, it's a most enjoyable smoke if you like caramel, amaretto, sweetness and natural tobacco flavor accompanying it all. 4 stars. P.S.: On a personal note: I like to mix three flakes of Stirling Flake, processed into cube cuts, into the blend to adjust its strength, and it works perfectly. The flavors compliment each other very well.

I got recommendation for this tobacco so i decided to try it and i am so glad to do so because it is really great danish aromatic which taste excellent, but you can feel Virginias and Maryland too.
This blend is a delightful
symphony of flavors! The Virginia, Maryland, and Black Cavendish create a smooth base, while the infusion of Mexican vanilla, maple syrup, tamarind, honey, and amaretto adds a rich complexity and divine room note . The cube cut ensures a cool and pleasurable smoking experience. Highly recommended for those seeking a unique and satisfying aromatic blend.
It is mild and it will not bite, I dry it from the tin for about half an hour.
