Excellent aromatic if you like black Cavendish with a healthy dose of vanilla. Upon opening, the paper liner was saturated with moisture but the tobacco itself was relatively dry. It took light easily and remained lit all the way through with just a slight tamp about a third of the way down. Thick rich smoke with a strong flavor of the casings coming through. The burley is just enough to keep things rounded while the Virginia and Cavendish are the real stars of the show! Excellent blend!

It's yummy! That is my first thought in smoking this aromatic. Such a really nice flavor. Very complex flavors go through my mouth as I smoke this blend. Really nice sweet taste that varies as you go through the bowl. I would strongly suggest you leave this open to air for several days to help dry out the blend a bit. You will get much more flavor this is the best of the three East India Trading Company aromatics by far. Burns pretty cool if you don't puff it up and smoke and room note are pleasant. Just an all round top notch aromatic.

One word: Kahlua!!!! A lovely vanilla cavendish with rum kahlua poured over as a top note. Vanilla, coffee and rum, what's not to love. A brilliant dessert tobacco, moderately cased with a heavy top note that stays with the blend even after opening. The aroma of this Nancy is just as delicious as the flavor, if that is even possible. A true aromatic for those with a sweet tooth. Cheers.

I am going to get a big sign and a T-shirt that says "IF YOU DON'T LIKE AROMATICS DONT REVIEW THEM" (at the next womens march on DC). This stuff is THE BOMB (if you like a super sweet vanilla-realm aromatic...which I do). This is actually one of my favorites. I still don't know why internet pipe smokers think it's cool to not like aromatics.. but it's all good... IF you like aromatics.. and want a sweet vanilla creamy-ish taste. This will not do you wrong at all.

Well I guess I'm the lone dissenter on this tobacco. Yes it is moist but I have no problems lighting it. I find it smooth and delicious and detect no chemical taste whatsoever. In fact this is one of the best tobaccos I've smoked in 40 years. I just ordered another tin. Y'all are welcome to send me yours.
