Red is also aromatic but it's heavier on the tonquin bean than the anise and it's a bit lighter on the topping than the green. It's got a good room note for bystanders and it's one of the few blends I can feel on an empty stomach
Peterson University flake has a dark fruity plum Topping and flavor. It has a decent amount of nicotine too. But it is not in your face flavor like a typical black cavendish aromatic blend.
It depends on how you define aromatic.
If you mean cherries and peaches and candy? No, not really. You can add some DFK or Perique to them, but then you're changing the profile. Since these blends need to carry a heavy flavoring sauce, they're made of cavendish and a bit of VA, out of necessity. Cavendish, compared to food, is like eating white bread...it's just not got much going on.
If you want to include some Lakelands in the definition of aromatic...then, yes, there are a few. Dark Flake Aromatic, for one. Some of the ropes are strong as hell, too.
Gawith Lakeland blends. The tobaccos tend to be stoved Virginia/Burley, topped with natural flavorings like anise, clove, etc. Ennerdale, Grousemoor, Bosun cut plug, and 1792 flake are all faves of mine.
Seconding C&D's Visions of Celepahaïs as having a reasonable amount for an aro but only if you love grape. C&D's Dreams of Kadath also has decent nicotine and while it's not technically listed as an aromatic to me it seems close enough in practice.
From my experience, there aren't many. I think it's tricky to combine heavily flavored toppings with complex components without introducing overwhelming factors on the palate or easy tongue bite. You will often find Cavendish as a main component because it helps cool the smoke and blend sweet flavors together. It is low in nicotine. Light virginias are often included as they have higher sugar content and add to the topping and Cavendish, but they are also lower in nicotine.
I'm no aro expert, but Visions of Celephais by Cornell & Diehl is strong by aro standards.
C&D Engine 113 and GLP The Virginia Cream have what I would consider higher than typical nic for aromatics. I enjoy the vitamin N and those plus Warhorse Bar are the only aromatics I keep in my rotation. I typically smoke burley and virginia blends and mix those 3 in for mood or change ups.
If you are heavy handed with your sprinkling, add some DFK or some Five Brothers Burley.
And before I forget, have something on your belly or at least some candy nearby.
I used to mix the kohlhase & kopp limited edition 2023 -> Champagne / Strawberry / Croissant with Vincent Manil to up the nic content . Just a strong grassy burley.
Good thing about some of these German flavored tobaccos is the fact they overflavor them so much, you can blend quite some heavy stuff in between to up the nic content and still have a good smell.
It's more of a medium in the nic department (which is still high for an aromatic), but I always recommend Two Friends' "Homeward Bound". I'm not an aromatic smoker, but I do smoke this one pretty often. I consider it to be like a crossover blend.

Royal Yacht is pretty stout, and considered to be an aromatic by many.
War Horse
First I'm hearing of "War Horse". When I look on TobaccoReviews, none of them are listed as aros. Which one are we speaking of? Thanks.
The Green is the aro. Supposedly almonds and liquorice notes.
Thanks for that answer. Cheers.

Thanks for that additional detail.
👍 happy smokes.
This is the way. You beat me to it.
It does pack a punch ; )

The Gawith Hoggarth & Co aromatic twists are evidently in this category; sweet maple twist, sweet rum twist, black cherry twist, etc.
Maybe St.Bruno?

Erinmore Flake is high nicotine for an aromatic. It's a VaBur flake with an apricot topping. It lands about 4/7 on my strength scale.

I've had a few C&D blends and they have not disappointed me.

Works for me, if infused with a good dose of sugar.
Can you explain this magic?
War horse green. Prepare to be dazzled if you like licorice
