![]() I guess my tastes have changed, but WOW-a very cloying, and heavy berry flavor that totally dominates this one. Just an update-I recently once again tried this again. I would actually say that I would consider another tin down the road when I am in the mood for an aromatic-by far not the worst tobacco I have ever smoked. I have tried quite a few of the Dan Tobacco blends, and they are pretty decent. For those that like the Dan Tobacco "Malonga" you may also like this. For the most part it isn't all that bad at all. I know there are some really mixed reviews here on this blend, but if you are into aromatics, and I am one that is usually not, but love to try ANY pipe tobacco just to see what its all about-as was already stated it is worth a try. It also finished off nice to the bottom of the bowl, and did not leave my pipe bowl all nasty with goo that some aromatics are noted for. The berry taste in my tin was not very over powering, and as I got to mid bowl it got better, and a little weaker. ![]() When I lit my pipe up I was actually surprised that in fact the taste was actually pretty darn close to the smell of the tobacco when I put my nose to it. Also when I put my nose to the open tin I really liked the smell. Well I must say my tin when I opened it was very good as far as moisture, and it required no drying out before I put it in a pipe. I had read the reviews here, and was VERY skeptical about even trying this blend. I as some have noted here kind of liked the tin appearance-so I said-what the heck-go ahead, and give it a whirl. All in all, I do recommend that those who smoke aros to give it a try, it is different, tastes like it smells and it will not turn your pipe soggy. I could not make this an all day smoke as it is too over the top and I like to taste the tobacco, but it is a pleasant now and then smoke. It takes a little time to get used to the forest berry flavor, but it actually grows on you. In fact I have drawn several bees to me while smoking it. It does not need to be dried out as it is not wet or goopy and is very easy to pack and light. It smells very Koolaide like in the tin and is a pretty mix of flake tobaccos running from black to golden in color. ![]() Next, it does not getstronger or bitter as you smoke it down. I have smoked every bowl down to the bottom of the bowl to a dry grey ash with little if any dottle. The most striking feature I have noticed with this blend is that even though it is a very strong aromatic in flavor, forest berries in fact, it has none of the gunkiness of a lot of aromatics. Now I must say, I like all tobacco types so I am totally unbiased when it comes to reviewing tobaccos. But the more I smoked it, the more I need to try another bowl and now I have almost emptied the tin. A few months later, I was gieven a full tin of this in a trade and thought, well, I will give it a test to review and give the rest away. At first, I was given a bowl to try and well, was a little put off by it, too aromatic. Because this blend is for sure an aromatic to the highest degree. If one does not like aromatics then this is for sure not for you and you might as well move on. A very polarizing blend depending on which side of the fence you’re smoking. It will quickly ghost a briar, and will do the same to a meer in short order. Has a long lingering after taste and strong room note. Leaves some moisture in the bowl, and requires a few relights as it tends to burn wet. It burns clean at a moderate pace and fairly cool with a very consistent, incredibly sweet, mostly smooth, creamy flavor. ![]() The strength and taste levels are very deep and potent. I don't notice the black cavendish, so I assume it provides smoothing sugary sweetness. Once in a while, I got a little grassiness from the Virginia, but not often. Various berries, cherry, vanilla, spice, sugar, butter, honey, caramel, and Lord only knows what other flavors are in here. The first thing that hits you is the fruity sweet toppings, and the aroma out of the tin is strong and intoxicating.
