Well I had to try it...

I heard severl bad reviews but since I'm a total noob when it comes to what is "real" (as in not captain black)- or the only blend I have used for years -pier 26- an aromatic vanilla blend.

It wasn't bad as far as my taste goes. It seemed to have more flavor than the Navy Flake I tried the day before.

You might want to poke around:

They sell by the ounce (while the other on-line stores I've seen require at least two), and you can try more without committing as much to them

Don't forget Boswell's or 4noggins. I don't smoke a lot of aromatics, but they make real good ones. I have smoked some samples from Rich Gottlieb at 4noggins recently that were quite excellent.
