Danske Club Black
(2.25)
Not a pressed tobacco, but 'double fermented'. The advantage of this process is that the tobacco is very smooth and mild, together with a pleasant aroma. South American, Zimbabwe and U.S. flue-cured tobacco together with burley and Malawi dark fired tobacco.
Notes: The Black (formerly Black Luxury and re-named due to EU regulations) tobacco blend from Danske Club offers velvety black character with light to medium intensity and a strong vanilla aroma due to the double-fermented black cavendish tobacco.
For several decades the exclusive loose cut mixture convinces with captivating aromas and rather light to medium-strong taste intensity. Traditionally processed in Denmark.

I am quite surprised, that this tobacco hasn't gotten better reviews. I hadn't smoked Black Luxury for quite a while, but had good memories of this weed. So, while visiting my local tobacconist, I picked up a 50 g pouch in order to base my review on recent experience.
Upon opening the pouch, the sweet and slightly pungent scent of the double fermented contents pleasantly filled the room. The tobacco is very moist, which explains the problems some have described in keeping their pipe lit. My recommendation is to leave the pouch open for a day or two. The coarsely cut tobacco has the color of roasted arabica coffee beans. The cut and moisture content make packing your pipe a little tricky.
I usually need only 2 matches to light my pipe, but as I already mentioned, this was too moist for that, so it took me 4 matches to get a proper light. Once lit, you have to draw frequently to keep it going, again due to the moisture. This entails the danger of tongue bite, if you're not careful. This, again, is the reason I recommend drying the tobacco somewhat, which alleviates the problem, making packing, lighting and smoking much easier. It does burn all the way down without leaving a dottle.
Black Luxury offers the smoker a pleasantly sweet and full bodied aroma, rather reminiscent of Bailey's Irish Cream with just a hint of cinnamon, that is not at all overpowering. My wife commented that she really enjoys the room note. I do not notice any nicotine kick or buzz, which is why I rate the strength as mild to medium.
If you are not a full fledged lover of aromatics, then stay away from BL! This is a classic Danish aromatic, and in my opinion a very pleasurable smoke. I would recommend it for a cold winter's day or an evening with company, as the room note will definitely please the crowd.

A good / average black cavendish with a mocca / toffee casing. Burns cool and delivers good taste and aroma.

Is kind of pleasant in a church warden pipe and with a little bit of care but when I changed in a typical Peterson pipe was like a struggle to keep it burn. Anyway the taste is good enough, flav kind of pleasant, the rest average. If you have nothing better than this one is enjoyable enough for you and people around. Try it for a change...

Trying to enhance the average rating of this nice blend. I bought it in Bern (CH) as in Italy it is no more available since some year.
At pouch opening: very pleasant smell. I would not say only Vanilla, for me has a nice, sweet and round smell, may remember a Baileys. For sure it has heavy flavour, but very pleasant.
At touch: too wet, nice ribbon cut.
Loading and lighting: after leaving it a couple of hours to dry, loads easy, but needs some patience to light.
Smoking: nice, sweet and mild, no tongue bit, no artificial taste. No moist in the briar.
Room note: sweet and pleasant
The after taste is very pleasant and persitent.
I'd say it's a nice blend for winter evenings, not an all day.
As for it's moisture, not easy lighting, and the hot season coming, I leaved this pouch in the drawer for about one year. I still find this tobacco interesting and may be easyer to get lit and very pleasant to smoke.
I would reccomend it for Aromatic lovers.

This tobacco is good. It tastes very sweet and the aromatic is very pleasant. The tobacco burns very well. The flavoring is strong. You can even taste the sweetness of the vanilla on your tongue. If you like aromatic Black Cavendish tobacco I can recommemd this one.
Edit: For me best in a Liverpool or a Billard.

Danske Club Black-Pipe tobacco created by Virginia and Burley tobaccos.The double fermentation creates the black color and delicate sweet taste These are written on the 50 grams of tobacco. So what can I say about this aroma? At the opening you are delighted with a very pleasant flavor of vanilla and caramel and yet to the smell and even to taste, very similar, I feel with Thomas Radford's Sundays Fantasy.It comes to eat it I could say. The first smoke was with him, the tobacco left just about an hour to breathe, so a little wet and often hot. It was expected for an aromatic . From what I read, left to dry, it would be a smoke a little more pleasant. I've burned about 10 sticks from one head to another. The fluffy smoke is sweet, sweet flavor. Black Cavendish makes her feel sweet , there's something to be expected. My conclusion is that Black Luxury is a modest tobacco that does not give you back. It is recommended to smoke in the cold season and around the winter holidays. It is not a whole day tobacco.

Good. Sweet. Not at all "Sugar in a pipe" although I liked this description used by some other reviewer! Not artificial to me, but also not compareable to quality tobaccos such as W.O. Larsens Signature. I like it, although you can only smell the vanilla flavoring- not taste it.

Very mild and very wet and you have to use lighter more than usual but the flavouring is very mild I like this tobacco and I use it.
