It is a bit forbidding to smoke a pipe tobacco with the name of a cheap cigar. Dutch Masters as a pipe tobacco easily outshines Dutch Masters as a cigar.
Don't let the name throw you off. This is a not a blend with cigar leaf. In fact it used to be named Old Grand Dad, after the bourbon that was used for flavoring. I don't know if the brand for the flavoring agent was changed, but there was some sort of difficulty in using the liquor's name. Hence the name change, and a puzzling one it was.
Whiskey is not my favorite flavoring agent in a pipe tobacco, but this one does quite well. The pouch aroma is very strong, but the smoking experience is definitely milder. And the tobacco flavor does get past the flavoring.
This is a cavendish tobacco, with a ribbon cut. I take it to be primarily burley, but the Virginia is there too. And oriental. Yes, the oriental is definitely there, and the oriental taste creeps through.
The room note is pleasant, not overly sweet. A freshly opened pouch tends to be a bit too moist and thus smoke steamy. But once opened a day or two the tobacco smokes well with little tendency to bite and very moderate goop for an aromatic.
I smoke aromatics about a quarter of the time, and usually I smoke them with cobs, meerschaums, and Dr. Grabows. With my last pouch of this, I also used a Leonessa, and it handled this tobacco quite well.

Just signed up on the Altadis website and presto, this showed up with three other 1.5 oz pouches in my mailbox. Nice gesture that. As for the tobacco, it wasn't bad. It did seem to leave the toungue feeling like there was a chalky feeling left over but I wouldn't call it a bite. The flavor is there, but very mild, and the smoke smells even milder. I thought I could detect some kind of synthetic fake taste to it sort of like one of the cheap cigarettes that I hated so much. You might like this if you want a mild smoke but I prefer something with a little more kick and taste. Still, not bad after a couple of bowls and I'll probably try a few more fills before I dump it in the big jar where I store all the "cast offs".

So far this is the the best tobacco I've tried in the Altadis sampler. That really isn't saying much, though; I had to dump it out after 3/4 bowl instead of after 1/2 bowl like the others. On the positive side, it burns pretty well and doesn't get very gooey. The room note is nice. It has very little flavor. At about 3/4 bowl the cheap quality of the underlying tobacco comes through and it gets bitter and harsh. Lane BLWAB is a similar, but better, tobacco than this.

An American drugstore Burley-n-Bourbon blend, rather typical in construction and components.
The casing is slightly synthetic but generally nice, though it can lean a bit toward incense as the liquor flavoring burns off. For the most part of the bowl this aspect stays under the radar and lets the whiskey do the talking.
Like any other product in this category, this can and will bite if not smoked with a little patience.
Plenty of aromatic acrobatics for those around you and a little tobacco flavor for you. It is what it is, and ain't bad for the price.
