Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG) Skandinavik White

This was my first pipe tobacco! So, nostalgia kicked in. Really mild, nice taste and one of the best tin notes I have ever encountered. It is recommended for beginners for these reasons alone. But objectively, well...this is it and nothing more. Give it a try if you are a beginner or you want an easygoing all day smoke.

My wife grabbed a pouch of this as a gift while travelling overseas, it's not available in the states as far as I can tell.

It's a Danish/Dutch aromatic, VA and black Cavendish with a sweet topping that smells to me of apricots or figs. The topping is not overdone and this aromatic is not a wet mess.

Smoking it you get sweetness and occasionally a hit of coffee-like flavor. Not sure where that comes from. The Cavendish gives the smoke some body and it generates a decent amount of nice smelling, room pleasing smoke. You will have to watch your pace with this, as if you puff fast it will burn hot and turn bitter, though I didn't experience any bite from it.

An ok, basic smoke. I'd rate it at 1.5 stars, simply because there's nothing about it that is stand-out, but it isn't bad tobacco. If you like Danish style aromatics it's worth a try. If this were all that was available, I could smoke it and be relatively happy, but I'd never choose it if other tobaccos were available.

This was my first pipe tobacco and since I am not that experienced, I will try to be as objective as I can. Skandinavik White is mediocre in everything in my opinion. Good for a start especially because of the price but nothing special to remember and make me look for it again.

The pouch smell reveal a topping coffee-like and the Black Cavendish brings a mild fruitiness more tart than sweet. A simply and easy aromatic without gurgles nor bites which burns well, so well that it get easily hot and it requires very slow puffing to avoid bitterness. I found anything special here but it isn't really bad.

Come tutti gli Skandinavik che ho provato (non molti, grazie a dio) questo tabacco è una vera fetecchia. Gli Skandinavik sono, per quanto mi riguarda, dei panettoni dolciastri brucia lingua per neofiti che molto presto cambieranno tabacco, scoprendo i veri tabacchi ed affinando così i loro gusti. Purtroppo molto reperibili, sono il classico errore da principiante.
