I could cut this very short and add my “+1” to the reviewers before me.
But each of them calls different flavouring, and that’s the point regarding this very educate VaBur mixture in the Danish style. Regarding me… I don’t feel the rhum which would qualify this as “Navy”, as first thing. To be frank, some alcoholic topping is present in the pouch note, over a grassy/nutty base, which is not reflecting in the smoke flavour. Seems to my tongue that the aromatizing factor is some nutty/almondy cream (or milk chocolate) plus raisins. Whichever, it’s all a faint thing and I have to say … a bit chemical, but nothing fastidious.
Not a memorable experience. The first similar tobacco coming to my mind is the Skandinavik White, but this is way better.

This is the same as Skandinavik Aromatic, now sold as Skandinavik Navy due to the new EU laws. And pay attention: it is not a navy mixture. It is strongly flavored and it has no Latakia. Maybe it has some Rum but it is not enough to define it a navy blend. Back in the ‘80s Skandinavik Aromatic was terrible, no more than half star (in my opinion of course). Now it is better, I would say it has improved compared to the past, which is really rare. At the moment it is a classic Danish flavored blend. Unfortunately there is something chemical I do not like. Anyway an OTC blend, cheap, an all -day smoke for aromatic mixtures’ lovers (not natural aromatic but flavored blends). In my personal rating system (from 1 to 10) my score is 5 and two stars.

A rather interesting mild everyday blend. However, it feels nothing like an aromatic to me and reading the description as well as other reviews i am thinking stg might have actually changed the blend. It is slightly scented, so that i can detect a little bit of topping, smelling and tasting somewhat nutty. No alchohol or chocolate detected and to be honest my pouch had zero black cavendish inside. It's a simple virginia-burley mixture with mild strength and room note. Overall, nothing to get excited about, just an enjoyable everyday blend suitable for both aromatic and non-aromatic lovers, as well as for new and seasoned smokers.
