It is more of an apricot/ orange but Stanwell Melange is one of the aro's that actually tastes like it smells . Fair warning it will not only ghost your pipe it will take over it like a poltergeist - use a cob and if you like it dedicate a basket pipe to it.
@Trailboss... The Golden Flake is now sold as an Ilsted product. I have five of these waiting to mature.
When I first started, I was looking for a orange flavored blend. I'll have to check some of these out, however I don't really smoke very many aromatics any more. Thanks for all the suggestions!
After reading through this one earlier today, it got my taste buds to buzzing, so I tried a bowl of Holger Danske Original Orange when I dropped by The Briary a little while ago. I liked it enough to buy a tin. It still has the Virginia-ness in the taste, it's just complimented by the orange, vanilla flavors which you can actually taste. It'll make a great break from the flakes and vaPers, especially in the hot summer months coming upon us in the deep South. Plus, it smells great. However, if anyone is against aromatics as a whole, I wouldn't suggest it.
nurseman, thanks for the information on Stanwell Melange. I am aging a tin, but I didn't know about its
ghosting. I'm mostly indiscriminate and don't designate pipes, but this might be an exception. The flavor
sounds intriguing, but I don't want it with every other blend I smoke. I'll just smoke it in a cob and take
my chances using the cob with other blends.

All of these sound really good! I've taken a few weeks break from the aros myself, but I can see a reintroduction in the near future.
