3 bags are John Bull which is a favorit regular of mine. The rest are try-out. On a scale of 1-5 for a quick overall rating process, in my opinion the following:

So far Ive tried...

Cest La Vie French Vanilla -2

Troost Cavendish Aromatic -3
Anyone tried these?

Was this something you purchased from an online retailer or was it a gift?

I think the Skandinavik Full Aroma sounds the same pretty much as amphora full aroma, and if it is it's an amazing smoke. And for that price it's something I would stock up on. They cost 40$ a pouch for a 50 gram pouch in Canada, just to give you an idea how far apart our prices are compared to the US on this stuff.

We(US) are heading your way on prices sooner than some think! Not to make you jealous, that's why I just ordered a Mac Baren HH Old Dark Fired 1lb Box for $40.00! It will keep well in mason jars till I'm ready to smoke it...

Just tried this one and I do like it best so far andrew.(besides John Bull)
Skandinavik Full Aroma. -4.5
Mature Virginia tobaccos are blended with toasted Burley tobaccos. The blend is pressed into cakes that are left to age before cutting. After curing, the tobacco is rubbed up. Skandinavik Full Aroma has sweet notes and a distinct high grade leaf tobacco flavoring.

Sail Aromatic -4.5



Orient and Virginia leaf, with Latakia and flue-cured Burley, including some mild, light fermented air-cured tobaccos. The product is pressed for a few weeks and then loosened after pressing. This gives the blend its typical aroma.
