Very easy to smoke and to clean pipe, fast burning tabacco and never hot. Taste is steady and light. However not enjoyable. This tabacco bored after couple days.

Exactly what one expect from a Holger Danske tobacco: - decent mild smoke - no tongue bite - fast burning tobacco - tobacco smell and room note present the flavour - not the best quality of tobacco in market but good enough - very low price: around $ 3 for 50gm. Pouch - the last part of bowl should be discarded (fine with me) - low in vitamin N Over all I think it is a good tobacco for its price and can fit in any one's rotation if in favour of American aromatic tobacco.

My Favourite! I bought it in 2005? and it has been little used until now. I have re-moistened it a few times. Lovely smell. Mild ,mild and nice. No tounge bite, never smokes hot (well it is possible of course), but it´s just so nice. I don´t know about the flavourings, bourbon? never mind what it says on the backside of the pouch, it´s what I would prefer to smoke most of the times. The room note is very aromatic and less cigarette-ish than most others. My wife prefers it more than others I have. The lady who recommended this to me knew what she was talking about. Need to order more since I´m almost out, and there are no well assorted tobacco dealers around me.

Great taste & smell. Reminded me of the tobacco my uncle smoked in the 60s.

This is an excellent everyday aro. Sweet, with a very discreet bourbon casing, without any tongue-bite, easy to pack and to light, smokes also without any difficulty. If tou are into aromatics, you should give this tobacco a try, otherwise... this review is not for you.

A very pleasant, mild mid-afternoon smoke, accompanied, perhaps, by cup of fine strong coffee. Sweet taste and wonderful aroma. My first Whiskey flavoured blend...I will certainly try others.

Tabacco aromatizzato e piacevole. Taglio grosso, brucia lentamente con un aroma pieno e gustoso. A volte leggermente umido per cui è meglio farlo asciugare un poco. Tagliato al 50% con Trinciato Italia diventa portentoso. Prezzo abbastanza basso(specie in Italia). Consigliatissimo

A pleasant tobacco but with a bizarre behavior: all we know that every tobacco needs the right pipe to pull out the best, but in this case (IMHO) the differences between pipe to pipe are exaggerated. Generally talking, for B&B seems better a medium-large bowl. It also seems to suffer much of climate: dry climate emphasizes the aromas, the humid climate flattens them, at least that was my experience ..... It is normal that the weather might affect the pleasantness of smoke, but from a flavoured Black Cavendish I expected better consistency.

Too much flavoring, while taste is not full at all. Mild in strenght and dry too fast in the tin. After two weeks...it's just dry tobacco with a smell of old dried cake. Good only if you like aromatics and only if smoked fresh! Update 1st february 2011: I gave this tobacco another chance. And smoked really slow, paying a bit of attention to the packing, it's really good! Fresh smoke filling mouth and room around the lucky smoker, while the nose can still smell the beautiful aroma and room note. My previous review was due to a misunderstanding between me and this tobacco. I smoked it too fast and may be in a "english" way. And...still going against what I said...better to let it dry 15' before smoking, improves. And...you can also taste a good virginia inside! Reccommended!

A quite mild aromatic. Its mildness is double edged in that it both makes a rather cool, all-day smoke but also a rather impersonal mixture with nothing special to crave for. Not annoyingly sweet, the tobacco itself hasnt got a very pronounced character and the casing alludes to a pleasant creamy roundness. Could be combined with a harsher-tangy virginia to provide with softness and a slight aroma.

Tasty, not too strong, full of character and my current favourite pipe tobacco. I'm a bit bemused that this is not more highly recommended, as if you enjoy a nice, easy aromatic experience with a pleasing room note, then this is excellent stuff. In fact, I am just off to open a new pouch... and I don't have to go outside...

I tried this tobacco on a trip to Lanzarote, one of the Canarian Islands. The problem with this tobacco is...where is the tobacco-taste? Like menthol-ciggarettes, only in the case of this, the menthol is replaced with Jack Daniels or some other American Bourbon, but I suspect the flavoring to be chemical. This tobacco is not biting at all, it is very gentle to all parts of the mouth, but all these parts probably will notice the smoke coming in but will be wondering when the taste of tobacco finally is coming!

A new, flower-like Japanese acquaintance has recently introduced me to Jim Bean Bourbon, which I like to smoke, er, drink along with some medium+ Virginia flake, say Rattray's Marlin flake. If you do it often enough, some of the bourbon breath might actually rub off on your pipe, if you always use the same one. The combination of Bourbon & Virginia is indeed made in heaven. Enjoy it that way, and forget this artificially-wrought cased cav.

I usually like the whiskey/bourbon type of tobacco, but i found this a little on the bland side for my liking.

The cavendish hints under a somewhat heavy casing. Though better than most, it is still chemical rich and tongue-bite prone. Still not a bad choice for near-non-smoking parties - when left open for a few days it gets better.

I recently purchased a couple of tins of this mixture from the Dan Tobacco catalog. I enjoy a little whiskey flavoring in my pipe every now and again, so, the description seemed enticing. Unlike the Borkum Riff version, this blend was not overwhelmingly cased. I did taste the whiskey flavoring, and the burley kept the mixture from becoming unruly. If you are an aromatic fancier, and would like to graduate from the drug store blends, grab a tin of Holger's Black & Bourbon!
