MATCH Troost Aromatic

I've smoked Troost Aromatic (with the blue trim) predominantly since 1971 or 1972. The aromatic version has been my favorite over all other types: aromatics, non-aromatics, and Englishman. Occasionally, I smoked Troost Special Cavendish (with the red trim). I much prefer the aromatic version because of its butterscotch top note. I regret that the Scandinavian Tobacco Group discontinued production. Thank you, Russ, for this match blend. I have a difficult time deciding whether or not match is exactly the same or hair-splittingly close to the Van Rossem original. Because I can't make up my mind, my quandary attests to your excellent skill as a tobacco blender, Russ! Thank you for your tremendous effort. Sincerely, Joseph B.

Much better than I remember, not overpowering with sweetness and not a bit of bite!

Smooth, rich, a bit nutty, notes of bread and honey, and a little brown sugar in the background. I detect very little if any added flavors- they're undiscernable. I find myself coming back to this blend repeatedly. Smoke this one carefully because it can be a bit bitey if pushed. Definitely worth a try for the price. I'll be buying more.

These match blends can be all over the place so buy a sample first, if you like it, jump in with both feet. This is my 2nd batch and I'm really liking it. It's natural, it has that certain something you look for in this type of blend.

i found this match to Troost aromatic to be better than any of my other attempts to find a match. However, it isn’t as satisfying a smoke as the original bled. I will continue to purchase this cavendish blend. I long for someone who will pick up the original blend for those of us who miss it. BTW why did they quit producing it?

I enjoyed the full flavor of this one. The aroma was OK at first but later left the room smelling like a butted out cigarette. My wife was not crazy about the ashtray stench that this tobacco produced. The worst part is no matter how slow and cool I smoke this blend it destroys my tongue, even several hours after I smoke. In one instance I smoked a bowl at noon and at 6 O'clock I had a soda and it stung like heck. It's a shame about the cons because this really is a nice tasting tobacco. If it were not for the 2 drawbacks I mentioned, I be smoking this stuff all the time.

Almost as good as the original, little peppery and little if any bite. Not real strong, but distinctive room note.

not enough flavor

I've never tried the original, but this is an extremely mild smoke. Room note is barely there. Not bad, but not really my cuppa.

Not much to it. Threw it away. No flavor.

One of the best "Match" types offered by P&C.

I truly enjoy this Match Trosst Aromatic, it's low in room smell and I can smoke inside. Regards, Oiva from Harbor Oregon
