As this is Blender’s Gold Burley and Black, I’m repeating that review here: The gold Virginia cavendish provides mild grass and citrus with a drop or two of honey. The unsweetened black cavendish offers some brown sugar. The burley is a little nutty sweet and earthy in a secondary role. Sublimating the tobaccos to some extent is a light vanilla and caramel topping, though the caramel is less obvious. The vanilla has a little thinness to the taste. No nic-hit to speak of. Has no bite or harsh notes. Needs a little dry time, but burns cool and smooth with a consistent flavor, requiring a few relights if you do dry it; more if you don't. Leaves some moisture in the bowl, but no goop or dottle. Has a pleasant after taste. An all day smoke.

Was a bit goopy in the bag, but dried easily enough. Impressions at first was no strong odor. No blast of vanilla, etc., but a mild cookie dough odor. Like the tube-o sugar cookie your mom would get and keep in the fridge. Maybe the tiniest hint of gingerbread. Smoke was.....Mellow. Totally OTC geezer fodder, which is what I was wanting this for. I was impressed with it's simple, yet pleasing smoke. Once dried well this is closer to SWR in comparison if you've had SWR. I smoke a LOT of SWR, and think SWR is better, but not by such a large margin I'd duke it out if somebody challenged me. The taste of hints of spice come through. I don't really get vanilla per se. Room note is o-k, not gonna stop anyone in their tracks, but certainly not bad. Again, just like old burley tobacco's from the drugstore. Instead of "Mellow", they reeeeeally should've consider calling this "dimestore blend". This "Mellow" blend holds it's own in the OTC challenge. I'm very pleased with the smoke. and the purchase. I was afraid it'd be just a re-label of their "Natural" blend, but it is not. It's listed as an aromatic, but it's not what you're probably thinking of with aromatic tobacco.
Update: 50/50 with black cav makes this a really good smoke, without being too goopy or so sickening sweet. This blend is better than either by themselves.
