Briarworks Peach Cobbler

After recently trying several other blends that failed to deliver on the promise of their name, I was not expecting much from BriarWorks Peach Cobbler. I thought that maybe there would be some tin aroma related to the smell of a baking peach cobbler.
I have been pleasantly surprised. When I open the jar I bought from smokingpipes.com last month, I smelled peaches, a little vanilla and some light whiskey/rum but nothing that really reminded me of a peach cobbler. Now, after smoking half the jar, I open it and still smell the peaches, vanilla and some light whiskey/rum but can say that it reminds me more of a peach cobbler scented candle my wife showed me at a craft store. Don’t get me wrong! It doesn’t smell bad it just doesn’t smell like something fresh baked.
On to more important things. I’ve never had to let BriarWorks Peach Cobbler sit out and dry before lighting. Even with the first bowl it took just a charing light followed by a tamp and second light to get it burning evenly. The sweet fruity flavor of the peaches with a touch of vanilla has been apparent to me immediately every time I’ve smoked it. The peach and vanilla does become less pronounced to me after a half bowl but it retains the sweet creaminess of the smoke throughout the bowl
As would be expected from a good aromatic, the room note is very pleasant. I’ve had one of my grandsons ask “Who’s eating a peach? I want one.” To me that is high praise for this blend. Strength wise, I found it to be a mild to medium with the nicotine slowly building up to a noticeable level near the end of the bowl. So far it has been smooth and it has not produced any tongue bite or burned hot other than one time when I was smoking it outdoors and the wind picked up. Smoked slowly it will not bite.
Bottom line for me: Is this an aromatic pipe tobacco that everyone will enjoy? No. But I did and I have already purchased two more of the 2 oz. jars and placed them in my cellar.

What do you think?
All this time, I've been trying different Peach Cobbler flavored tobaccos, most recently the Briarworks, and each time thinking...
"Not peachy enough, but creamy and buttery"
And when you think about it, that's exactly like many peach "Cobbler's" taste. Buttery, and creamy along with peach. To me, anyway, a peach pie is usually less doughy and more peachy.
So, without further delay, I ordered the Sutliff's "Taste of Summer" and am in anticipation of a "Peachy" experience.
