I would like to thank both troutface and Zonomo for each sending me Hobbits weed since it wasn't possible for me to order it being in Canada and they do not ship here.
The blend was dark in color and smelt of berries and vanilla. The smell from the bag was pleasing but I can tell just from the smell this wasn't an everyday smoke for me. I allowed the tobacco to dry on a paper towel for 30min before packing it into my Brigham 1dot billiard with maple filter.
First light the flavor immediately took and stayed through out the entire smoke. It was cool and dry with no sign of moisture or gurgle I really enjoyed this blend. Every puff was smooth and the cavendish was there for the entire smoke. Near the end of the bowl I began to pick up on the burley in the blend it was only there in the after taste after I exhaled the smoke I detected a sweet nutty taste around my tongue. This was pretty good and it reminded me of what I enjoyed about roll cake from Mac baren. Only thing that makes this blend not an everyday smoke is the nic hit, there isn't any it's as if your smoking just cavendish in terms of nicotine it's just too mild.
However it never got hot and burn down very slow and even the whole smoke. I will be saving this blend for mornings and before bed simply because its such an easy no hassle smoke that I'm really relaxed while smoking it.
I'm by no means good at reviews but I thought I would just share what I thought about this blend. I do recommend it to those beginning pipe smoking and enjoy aros. Just make sure you give it some dry time. It is the best predominant cavendish blend that I have smoked to date this I know for certain.

Glad to hear the effort will be worthwhile once I make it!
