I ordered 2 tins of this from Stokkebye. My tin description does not match those listed on P&C, tobaccoreviews.com, or luxurytobaccoreviews.com
Here is what is advertised:
"A sweet, satisfying blend of select Virginias and Black Cavendish flavored with Irish Whiskey to bring a pleasant end to the day.
A classic mixture of bright Virginia for USA, Africa and Brazil blended with some fermented Black Cavendish. Genuine Irish whisky and fresh honey provides the blend an exciting taste and flavor."

And here's what I got:
"A blend made from golden and sunrich Virginia tobaccos. The tobacco is pressed into cakes and matures during storage. After storage the cakes are cut and rubbed up. This blend has a sweet flavour and a round taste."

Note that the description on P&C website and the description on the front of the tin are different.
Based just on smell, I get no hints of whiskey or honey. It smells just like a VA. I'm not entirely disappointed, as I'm personally discovering my appreciation for VA, but I bought these 2 tins from milantobacconists.com expecting an aromatic.
So, to my question, have they perhaps changed the blend? Is Villiger 1888 Late Night now a VA, and no longer an aromatic, or was this an accident?
