Trailboss: I did smoke the Troost Aromatic Cavendish you sent and the Match version. Here are my reviews of both:
Troost AC:
The gold cavendish is honey and citrusy sweet. The topping is like a mild butterscotch. Burns well and fairly even with few relights for a course cut. It's a pleasant enough fairly one dimensional all day smoke, but I can only give it two stars because if you puff at even a moderate rate, you can experience tongue bite. It does leave a nice after taste.
Troost AC Match:
The gold cavendish has citrus and honey bread notes with a touch of grass. The topping is mild butterscotch and caramel sweet, and mildly fruity. As cavendish tends to burn hot if puffed fast, you may consider sipping it, though it really doesn’t need to be babied much. The original has a little deeper flavor, but it’s bitey if you puff very fast, and can lose just a little of its flavor when that happens. The latter two observations are not true of the Match, which is much smoother, will not bite, and is fairly close in taste to the original. The flavor doesn't weaken near the finish or if you puff beyond a moderate pace, which can happen to the original, especially if the tobacco is dry. The course cut of the tobacco is the same. This is an all day mild product that burns well and even with hardly any moisture at the bottom.
