At the time of purchase I was intrigued by the promise of pistacchio aroma and taste. While this tobacco does have nutty flavor, it unfortunately also has the strong taste of plastic. I was very dissapointed in the flavor of this blend.

Well i bought this because it was on sale, and i was not impressed. The package decribes a long history of danish tobacco herritage and excellence, i found it awful. The pouch aroma was very artificial and the cut was a little to fine for my liking. Upon lighting it asted like burning plastic, but i was told the room note was lovely. I will not buy this again, and i had to give the pouch away.

"Yes" it's mild & doesn't bite.Easy to light & puff's ok.But all I could taste was Vanilla.It burn't down leaving a clean ash & was well behaved to the bottom of the bowl.It would be good for those new to pipe smoking(As long as you like Vanilla)or to use as a mixer to cool a "HOT BITEY" blend perhap's. In it's class I'll give it 2 & half star's.

This is probably the mildest and tasteless tobacco I have ever tried. The pistachio casing is also not what I would call the best one (whether it be pistachio, or another) I have had the opportunity to taste in a tobacco.

I believe that is a common error to make an aromatic mixture with too much virginias. This is the case. The bright leafs gives this mixture a strong burn and thats not good for this type of tobacco. The excessive burn kills instantly the flavour. This tobacco lakes personality. Almost no sweet taste (the ususal in virginias), a very weak room note and a awful burn.

I find this aromatic to be a bit like smoking rancid air. While the vanilla flavoring smells nice I must admit, nevertheless it is bland, tasteless, and a bit bitey. It also has a sour, rancid undertone. It is a very easy smoke in terms of overall strength and pungency, and so might do well for beginners, but for those who like flavor, complexity, and profundity in their tobacco, I strongly dissuade them from smoking it. Moreover, I find it very wet, and hard to keep lit through an entire bowl witout several relights.
