Conclusion:

• First off, I feel this is an aromatic tobacco flavor. Aromatics are tobaccos that have toppings like cherry, vanilla, liquorice, etc.
• This will blend very well in aromatic pipe tobacco mixes.
• I prefer non-aromatic tobaccos so I won't be reaching for this often unless using it at very low percents. If you enjoy a bit of sweetness in your leaf, this could make for an interesting ingredient.
• To be clear, it's not sweet like EM or Sucralose. It's sweet because of the molasses note.
• If I was trying to clone Halo's Torque 56, I would definitely try putting this in there. Actually, when I think of tobaccos like Torque 56, this flavor starts to make a lot of sense.
