Virginia and burley make the character of this blend. Medium coarse and cube cuts force the aromatic fruity flavor of this mixture.

Rattray - Sweet Fragrant.
The un-lit tobacco gave a lovely sweet fragrance off and you can detect both the tobaccos and the aromatics. The varied cut gives very intriguing aesthetics. The initial smoke has a really good texture of flavour where the Cavendish is the prominent tobacco you will notice and the aromatics are (I found) a good mix. Granted, the vanilla does outweigh the plum but I found it to be just right. The combination of the vanilla and plum give it an almost flowery overtone. I don't think the room note is anything to shout home about albeit not at all unpleasant! I don't get any bite, but we all vary in that department. As aromatics go I found it to be not too heavy, but just right!
Highly recommended.

This is a wonderful aromatic that came out of the tin perfectly dried, which tells me this was going to be a quality smoke! This did not make my pipe gurgle at all, not one bit. This tobacco has a good mix of Virginia with several different cuts of leaf mixed into a product that fills a bowl quite well and does not end up being sucked into the mouth of the smoker as the bowl tamps down. The flavor is of black cherry with some cream in it. The room note is very pleasant. I should also add that the black cavendish burley does not bite the tongue even when puffed vigorously. I don't have the slightest idea why this tobacco has not been given a good review up to this point. I recommend it to anyone who wants a dry aromatic that doesn't foul up a pipe.
