Generally, I am not a fan of aromatics. I only ordered Autumn Evening because I thought it might be nice for those occasions when there is company on the porch and I want to smoke my pipe. I was hoping to find something that smelled nice for others that I could tolerate.
Though the tin note is kind of overwhelmingly maple -- too much maple -- it is a pretty good smoke. The taste is primarily tobacco, not maple. Based on the tin note, this is hard to believe, but the red Va Cavendish really comes through. The maple also seems to tone down a bit after it's been opened a while. I've gone through a couple of tins of this and find myself reaching for it on occasion even when I'm by myself. My wife has commented, numerous times, on how nice it smells. Pleasing the boss is never bad.
Maybe I'll go order some of Captain Bob's Pot O' Gold and give that a try.
