    Upon receiving my shipment this morning I was like a kid on Christmas morning. I ripped open my package to find 3 little bundles of joy. So I dove right in to the Royal blend and here is what I thought.

    Tin Aroma- Smelled like a fine rich dark Chocolate.

    Look and feel- Right out of the can it was very moist, but it looked beautiful, nice golden and dark flakes all making love with each other.

    Initial Light- Very wonderful dark chocolate and fine coffee taste on the first few sips. As I went further into the bowl I was finding a hint of raisen with the very faint taste of cinnamon in the background. The flavor slowly faded away the further I went, but was always there. At the end of the bowl it was a fine ash with little to no dottle at all.

    Room Note- Asked my wife what see thought of the room note and what she got out of it. She found it to have a chocolaty smell with the hint of a fine cigar.

    Final Thoughts- I would highly recommend this blend, it is a very well put together mild aromatic. At times I tried my hardest to get the Mac Baren bite and failed. I will have to definitly put this in my rotation.

    Thanks for the review Wade. Chocolatey coffee raisin cinnamon taste...
    should appeal to a great many smokers (and wives) -- especially with the holidays coming up.

    It seems Mac Baren has a hit on their hands here.

    I'm smoking this tobacco regularly everyday and I'm pretty satisfied with it.

    Looks like another one to add to my order!

    If at first you don't succeed you are running about average.
