Motzek 16/5 Der Neue
(3.40)
Appetizing Curlys from bright and dark fired Virginias. Earthy, grassy, matured-sweet. In a mixture of delicate nutty burley and some peppery perique. Mildly enhanced by a honey note. Fine, noble, digestible - great at any time of the day.
Notes: "Der Neue" is German for "The New One". It's named like this, because this is the first blend added to the Motzek range of products, when Tom Darasz took over Motzek from Herbert Motzek.

This tobacco is very similar, if not identical to HU Tobacco's Director's Cut but why this should be so is still unclear to me. I have asked the blender Tom Darasz about it but received no reply. A lovely appearance of small VaPer curlies, small flakes and some loose cut tobacco. Now the small flakes are either nearly black or light brown but some are black and brown but still joined together...there is. as far as I know, just one other tobacco like that and it is Orlik's Strong Dark Kentucky so maybe that is used in this blend, it has I believe the liquorice flavour of that flake .
Now, it has been a while since I smoked Director's Cut but if this tobacco was dressed up in that tin, I would not have noticed an immediate difference. Could be that DC has a bit more strength, a bit more spice as well. But at a price of nearly €10 less per 100 gramm, you really can't go wrong with 16/5 Der Neue

I concur with smoking-rob's review in every way, aside from HU Director's Cut being a tad better presentation (more well-formed curlies), and fewer lumps of blackish broken flake the tobaccos smell and smoke nearly identical. Based on the fact it is half the cost of DC I will give it 4 stars instead of 3 I gave DC.
One key difference that should be noted is that HU Director's Cut is neater in appearance, its curlies hold up in a jar, while 16/5 Der Neue's unraveled over time, to the point the blend now looks like ribbon, at no impact to taste. Another key difference is that 16/5 Der Neue has some chunks of broken flake, blackish in colour, which don't feel, smell, or taste like DFK or Perique (there're a lot of them so if they were either of these tobaccos it'd be a MUCH stronger smoke than it is. In fact they feel, look, and taste like black Cavendish with a mildish liquorice topping.
It is a very pleasant, sweet, mild, yet with plenty of substance and body, all day Virginia with some spice from Kentucky and Perique, neither of which are very obvious to the taste. Question mark will remain for me about whether it has black Cavendish, and whether there is some liquorice topping going on, but overall, it is a very nice all-day sweet smoke.

A very good tobacco. Sweet, with really pleasent floreal and fruity notes. Burley and virginia’s notes works really well in an esamble of sweet, smooth, creamy smoke. The room note feel something like fresh and sparkling. It remind a good summernight moment of lightness, vitality and lightheartedness. Absolutelly one of my favorite tobaccos.
