Yes as the two reviews before me state this tobacco has an extremely over bearing perfumed smell on the initial opening and being a newbie to pipes I got impatient and attempted to smoke a bowl after just 5 mins of opening, Ill be quite frank, I thought it was very unpleasant it reminded me of perfume and whiskey but not in a pleasant way. I then emptied the whole lot and put it back loose in the tine and left the lid off as it is quite compressed and moist.
The day after I found that the smell of the tobacco had changed a lot, to me smelled of a nice sweet normal tobacco. I lit up a bowl and was pleasantly surprised at how smooth it was and how it had transformed. To my pallet it does have a very nice complex flavour to it, subtle sweetness and floral/fruity nuttiness about it. As far as room note goes its a nice aroma with hints of what you taste.
I give this a personal rating of 3 beacause if you are like me and looking for something with a bit more flavour for example, I really like the principe Chico chocolate cigars and want something akin to that flavour and aroma wise
