Lovely aroma in the tin, and favorable comment from the wife. Burn was steady, even, and thorough. Did give me a bit of a headache - perhaps a visit from St. Nic too early in the morning? The foregoing notwithstanding, greatly enjoyed it (though perhaps later in the day next go round...) and plan on including in my normal rotation.

Reviews here made me curious - but what a disappointment! Quality leaves have been used. No doubt about that. Why then would you spoil it with a heavy caramelish flavouring? The room note almost made me puke and after only 2-3 fills, the pibe that I selected for trying this tobacco is almost ruined forever because of the awful smell/taste, which will probably remain in it for quite a long time, I fear. Previous reviewers judging this as only slightly aromatic and not flavourized - or hardly flavourized - must have been reviewing something else. That was my initial thought. BUT - luckily - there is still something for every taste out there on the tobacco market. This one however, I will gladly disregard in future. Brrrrr....

What do you call a blend that smells like a full on aromatic in the tin, has very pleasant room note like an aromatic, but only tastes slightly sweet with tobacco flavor? It would be called Copenhagen. When I opened the tin the strong tin scent of figs, raisins and other fruit was almost overwhelming. This would not be the same fig/raisin scent that comes from an aged VaPer, but rather a manually added one. However, it dries quickly and burns cleanly with a nice, soft sweet taste that doesn’t overpower the tobacco. Is it an aromatic? In a pure sense yes, but it’s unlike most aromatics on the market today. If you happen to be looking for a very light aromatic made at the usual high standard that is Sillims, than this is for you. Recommended.

Wow. Wow. This is one amazing tobacco. I didn't think I could smoke a tin as fast as this one disappeared. The sweetness of this tobacco is pure tobacco. You might think from the initial smell in the tin that it's flavored in some way, but it's not. And the smoke itself is this wonderful bouquet of green wheat, brown sugar and something else that I can't put my finger on. I have smoked more of this tobacco over the past 5 months than any other. I just ran out and will order more, even though I have 6 other tins open at the moment. The flavor of the smoke changes minimally, if at all, for the first ¼ - ½ of the pipe. But about halfway through the flavor starts to change. It becomes spicier and richer. Towards the end of the bowl the flavor takes on a wonderful full-bodied spice that compliments the sweetness perfectly. I found myself packing this tobacco into my pipe as much as I could so that I could enjoy the experience for as long as possible. I constantly turn my face so the wind can direct the smoke into my face and I get a whiff of the stuff. This tobacco is my top choice and I can't wait to get some more. I have made myself a pipe that will have nothing but Copenhagen in it from the get-go. This tobacco must be tried at least 3 or 4 times to fully appreciate it's complexity and simplicity. It may seem like a mild tobacco, which it is, but the flavors and body of the smoke are anything but mild. Maybe I'm being melodramatic, but man I just can’t get enough into my pipe…I think I’ll make myself a bigger pipe!!

The taste reminds of Davidoff's Danish mixture, with more nutty taste. The room note however is fantastic and the tobacco quality is top notch. Personally I find it the taste too mild and unexciting. 3 out of 5 stars.

I am new to pipe smoking, very new. Being a non-smoker before I had the urge to try pipes, because I liked the smell. Everyone recommended aromatics for new smokers, but I did not like aromatics for some reason and went straight to english and virginias, and hated most of it, other than some virginias. I tried Sillems Black and liked it. I must say that I was VERY surprised when I smoked this tobacco. There was only one review, and it was good... and WOW this stuff is GREAT! I tried and tried and tried every top rated tobacco I could get my hands on. But boy this stuff is really great. Its an aromatic but its not... Its English, but its not. Its a perfect balance of everything. It has a great after taste, and I don't have to run and brush my teeth to get the crappy taste out. It has a mildly sweet smell of baked goods, a fruity taste can be detected when sipped. Has a nice tobacco flavor that doesn't kill the palette. Its an excellent smoke from start to finish. Im not a latakia fan, and this blend doesn't have any, or I can't detect it. A little hard to light but I dried it out for 10 minutes and it lit and stayed lit great. For those of you that are having a hard time finding a tobacco to like, give this one a try. The room note is very pleasant and my wife likes it, which is all that matters really. I got one tin and will be getting MORE...

Sillem's sure is coming out with quality blends (to match their fine lighters), and Copenhagen Blend is a wonderful combination of tobaccos that really hits the spot with this cowboy! This is a somewhat sweet blend with some strength and spicey undertones. The Virginia leaf is top-shelf all the way and the Burley helps this blend pack some punch. Upon popping the tin the aroma rises up quickly. It is somewhat sweet with an interwoven tobacco smell. The contents are at the perfect moisture level and easy to pack. At the match (or, in this case, Old Boy lighter - sorry Sillem's), the blend lights easily and evenly. The Virginia and added subtle sweetness makes its presence known immediately. Near mid-bowl the strength of the Burley and spice of the Perique makes its introduction. The final third of the bowl makes for a smashing presentation of strength, spice and sweetness. Once the last shred is consumed, the lingering flavor on the palate and smell on the moustache is sensational. Where's my pipe? I am going to smoke another bowl right now!
