Nor is it very rich or tasty. But it has some richness and taste to it.

The tin aroma is very pleasant.

I enjoyed smoking it.

Flavoring is sweet, candy-like, almost buttery, but not overwhelming: it still smells rather natural and it's not a sticky-goopy aromatic. A typically "average-tasting" product, made with good care, balance and quality leaf.

Personally I prefer this one to both Ambrosia blends: less cloying, more elegant. Usually it smokes great, very fragrant and biscuity, with good balance between the cavendish sweetness, the casing and the earthy notes of Burley. The smell is very "pipey". At times, though, it may turn out to be a little flat and watery, empty. Probably it depends on the pipe: it smokes best in medium bowls, not too large neither too small. Burning qualities are good: no tonguebite, a rather cool smoke, and a regular burning rate with little need for relights. It's only medium-light bodied, but still rather tasty.

I can't say I am raving about this blend, but it's enjoyable. Probably a touch less black cavendish and it would have been more suited to my taste. Pleasant blend: I won't buy another tin soon, but there's no reason why I shouldn't do it in future.

Rating should actually be two stars and a half, but there are no half stars ratings here...

It came from Amsterdam (not sold in Italy) in a 100grms black tin.

Smelling blind at the tin opening, mild notes of fruits and nuts, honey and some spirit topping I cannot identify. A very gentle and balanced, non-agressive tin aroma. The weed is medium ribbon, a fine-looking contrasted colour of the like of some full-english mix. Just opened GoD was bit wet, after two months unsealed it's just right.

A wide bowl Castello KKKK has been used. Tobacco chars and burns regularly, releasing a mellow smoke with a faintly acidic/fruity note to the tongue, while to the nose the nuts prevail. The strength never exceeds the mild side.

Pay attention and don't force the draws in any way, otherwise it will get hot and steamy. Fortunately my Castello has thick walls... and I'm getting more and more accustomed with McB.

High quality tobacco, no doubt. If an aromatic of McB is my choice, then Black Ambrosia fits better my sweet tooth.

However, what made me fall in love with this delicious smelling blend, was the aftertaste. There was no distasteful aftertaste, if you will. My mouth tasted like a very mellow nutty flavor for the rest of the evening, and I did not mind one bit. Furthermore, the blend was delicious to taste when smoked. I highly recommend it to anyone who does not mind taking the time to either dry out the tobacco prior to smoking, or who would rather smoke very carefully and slowly. Delicious!

This is not a heavy aromatic tobacco, very similar to Golden Blend with some black Cavendish and dried fruits note, the smoke is not very sweet, it taste and smell good with the typical Mac Baren flavor and room note and without artificial flavoring.

This and Navy Flake are my favorites of Mac Baren burley blend, I smoke it frequently since few years and I am quite happy with it.

I thought I would give it one last try, but have it dry out overnight. Am I glad I did.

Gold of Denmark, when dried, is not bitey at all. It is an aromatic Danish blend that combines a light fruity flavor with the familiar MacBaren honey-toast. When I feel like an aromatic smoke, I reach for this.

Due to the overnight drying requirement, I cannot give this top ratings. But I do recommend this to those seeking a more subtle type of Danish aromatic.

Since I believe that everything on earth has something positive, the best I can say about this is that I got it for free. I dumped it on my tobacco cabinet considering that it might camouflage the room note of some of my more aggressive blends. Today I decided to give it a second chance. As of now the tobacco is quite dry, although still pliable. It lighted fine on the first try and much of the overwhelming casing was gone, or at least subdued. It is still a hot weed, it demands to be smoked extremely slow, letting the pipe rest for long lapses; still, it's quite hard to keep the bowl cool. The room note is now less overwhelming and the taste of the last third of the bowl is almost pleasant. However, the Burley and Cavendish overwhelm the Virginia, granting there may be any. Its taste is acid, somewhat reminiscent of licorice. The aroma is heavy with vanilla.

Summing up, I cannot recommend it for any occasion. If you must have an aromatic, look elsewhere.

No trouble to pop from the tin and load, Gold of Denmark offers a mellow, smooth and light smoking experience. It is somewhat rough at first, but settles into a quite enjoyable smoke. It is an aromatic that should crossover well. If you are a fan of Virginia leaf, Gold of Denmark may not deliver what you want - it certainly had more of a Burley taste to me.

I did not find this blend to be a hot burner at all and it did not goop up the pipe I reserve for aromatics. But then, most Mac Baren blends are cased to some extent and I've never had one of their offerings foul one of my pipes.

I now understand why Gold of Denmark is a hit among Mac Baren fans... It is certainly one of their best offerings.

Unless you are a VERY slow smoker who dosen't like the taste of tobacco, stay away from this sweet goopy weed.

Well worth its price.

I let the tin sit for awhile to dry out. I've been smoking this same tin for about a year now and it does get better, even with the heavy casing. It's much drier now to the touch and there's no re-lighting problem. The aroma in the tin has lessened and no longer smells like cherries. There's just a faint hint of something sweet. In short, it's not worth the trouble. A tin of Mixture is better and ready to go when it's cracked. I'll finish the tin in another year or so, but won't buy it again.
