In 2011, Russ wanted to make an over-the-counter type blend with much higher quality for around the same price as most OTCs. He used premium Burleys, along with red Virginia, and unflavored black Cavendish. Instead of the typical vanilla, fruit, or liquor flavors, he opted to use a light touch of honey, chocolate, and cinnamon. It quickly gained a lot of fans, but pending costs increases would have made it a bit more expensive so it was discontinued. We had so many people asking us to bring it back, we decided to do it in the most affordable way possible, so now Angler's Dream returns in bulk form. The blend is exactly the same, but we can keep the costs down by eliminating the tub. Welcome back an old friend - Scotty's Bulk Blends - Angler's Dream.
Smooth with a pleasant flavor. I enjoyed this with my morning coffee.

A decent surprise
Nov 03, 2021
My favorite blend has been Scotty's Milk and Honey and unfortunately Pipes and Cigars was sold out. So I decided to try another Scotty's blend and went with Angler's Dream and was decently surprised. The room notes are of your basic tobacco smell and it tastes like a very smooth tobacco which is what I want. It is very light weight, about twice what you'd get with milk and honey so that's a very big plus. This'll be by new fall back blend.

A boring puff that leaves you wondering how much cinnamon did they try to weasel in. If that’s a anglers dream maybe the nightmares would have more flavor. Smooth but boring I guess that could be a anglers dream.

Pleasurable everyday blend
Mar 25, 2021
Very pleasurable room note from the chocolate and honey casing. I keep coming back to this blend time and time again. Conservatively packed, there is no tongue bite at all. Flavors of nuts, chocolate and the sweetness of the virginias is balanced out by the burley and cavendish. An interesting experience everytime! Please keep making this blend.

The smell is very pleasant, it has notes from vanilla and coffee and some Carmel. A little earthy but sweet aroma. It packs well and smokes nice and even. Over all I would give this 4 star or 4.5

Wow, what a suprise. Being a Va/Per primarily, this aromatic has real tobacco flavor. It's topped but lightly. I'm not one for aromatics, but this is a real treat.

Slight hints of vanilla & honey. Burns a little hot at first, but then mellows out & casts a pleasant room note that retrieves compliments. A nice blend!

It’s not what I expected
Jan 19, 2020
It’s not what I expected after reading other reviews. It’s a very dry smoke and will need to be moistened. So I keep it for when there’s too much moisture in my pipe to help dry everything out.

I’m just getting into pipe smoking and thought to try this out. It smokes pretty nicely and has a good flavor, and it smells heavenly. A bit chocolatey, coffee like to me. Definitely going to go back for more.

Clean aromatic worth a try.
Dec 17, 2018
Angler's Dream is a mild and pleasant aromatic. It burns clean and dry and I did not find any syrup additive. It is different than the typical vanilla flavored aromatic. I think it is best for an afternoon smoke. Worth a try.

Man this blend is tasty, honey, cinnamon, nutty burley, mild and smooth. This blend smokes effortlessly and does not bite me in the least. Fantastic job on this one Russ! This is my favorite morning smoke, as it goes good with my coffee, I will definitely be ordering some more.

Had to have 2 bowls back to back
Sep 13, 2017
I tried this blend for the first time last night (9/12/17). Amazing! Little to no bite. You can smell the honey coming through in the tin note. Room note was pleasant. Solid flavor profile the whole bowl through. Packed very well. Burned even better. To illustrate just how much I enjoyed this blend, I ended up having two bowls back to back...I never smoke two back to back. But I just couldn't get enough of this one to leave it at one bowl. I will Definitely be buying more of this.

Updated review
Sep 13, 2017
After spending some additional time with this blend I would like to retract my first review. I feel like this blend deserves an honest 4 stars. I misjudged this tobacco expecting a full blown aromatic. The burley/VA are the star of the show here with the top notes being subtle and complementary adding a light sweetness to the smoke. It burns incredibly well all the way down. I went from hating this blend to reaching for it at least 3 times a week. Definitely recommend.

Just Enough
Sep 08, 2017
This is a very nice, mellow blend with just enough flavoring to make it interesting and not overpowering. For me, it was mild, stayed well lit and could easily function as an all day smoke. I like some of the other Fishermen's series blends better, but this deserves a try.

It is exactly what it aspires to be
Aug 23, 2017
It is exactly what it aspires to be. I was expecting an OCT blend that was a pleasant, easy to smoke all day tobacco. I am not comparing it to my favorite McClelland tobacco. I am evaluating it only on what it aspires to be. Great burley taste. A light topping with no highly distinguishable flavoring. The easiest tobacco to smoke. I will buy again!

Very Good
Aug 19, 2017
Very good tobacco blend. Certainly can be an all day smoke and compared to other OTC this was developed as to pay tribute to, very well done. For me it smokes best in a cob. It is more than a simple blend like other OTC, AD has layers of flavors and the combination works very well together. Don't let the cinnamon scare you, it is there but in a good way to add a little spice.

No flavor, Sharp tongue bite.
Aug 05, 2017
This blend is in fact made with high quality leaf. The fine tobaccos do have an excellent flavor in and of themselves, however, this blend has absolutely no flavor apart from the tobacco, and it has an incredibly sharp tongue bite which I believe comes from the cinnamon flavoring. I've smoked about 10 bowl of it hoping that it will improve, but it just hasn't. I've even blended it with another aro but that sharp bite just won't go away. I really wanted to love this but I just can't.
Everything else I've ordered has been great and I have no complaints about P&C, just not a fan of this blend.
