W.O. Larsen Craftmans Edition
(3.50)
Marking W.O. Larsen's 151st anniversary as a blender, the Craftmans Edition is a smoking mixture of Virginia, black cavendish, and burley, topped with vanilla and caramel to produce a refined aroma. Some of the component tobaccos in this blend have been pressed, rested, and then rubbed loose, to better ensure favorable burn qualities.

Due to the high price (30€ for 100g tin), I only snatched me a sample of this twice... in my early pipe days, I primarily smoked aromatics, and I remember this being a TOP-NOTCH one!
Typical, high W.O. Larsen quality, both in tobaccos and flavourings. The flavouring is of caramel, vanilla and has a butter-cookie-ish aroma to it (reminding me a bit of Larsens No. 32 Curly Cut) and is very well done! Not chemical, nor obtrusive, this is in the classy Larsen manner... a high-class aromatic! This is also a full-grown aromatic, with only minor tobacco-y notes to it. Very mild spice.
A wonderful aromatic for lovers of this style, yet the price is insane... you may want to take Larsens No. 32 Curly Cut instead of this one, as they share lots of similiarites (besides the cut obviously.. ;-P). But definetly worth trying, if you're willing to pay the high price.
I'd give a "highly recommended", but due to the unreasonable pricing, I'll give it a "recommended", as it's easily replaceable with No. 32 by Larsen.

A nice mellow blend with a light flavoring of vanilla with a side note of somekind of sweet alcohol. Burns well enough requiring no more than the usual relights. I thinking that it ages well as I enjoy it more now then I did when I first opened the tin a year ago when I first opened it .
