The nic-hit is mild. The strength and taste levels are medium. The licorice topping is lightly perfumy, and moderately sublimates the tobaccos. The black cavendish plays a minor role with a typical vanilla taste while the gold cavendish is a little honey-like. The burley is barely woody, earthy and nutty, and the Virginia is very grassy/hay-like with a little citrus. The flavor is consistent all the way to the end. There’s an herbal/spicy quality to it that becomes uncomfortable half way into the smoke. Added to that is this blend being a shag cut and burns fast, it’ll burn your mouth if you puff at anything but a slow sip. The peppery tongue sizzle gets stronger as you smoke it down, and some harshness creeps in at the finish. I realize some of these characteristics are often present in Danish aromatics, but this is more annoying than most others I have smoked where it wasn't so bothersome. Even slow sipped, it started biting me, and I almost never experience tongue bite. This is as objective a review as I can write considering the bite problem is so huge.

When I was in college in the late '60's I smoked a pipe. One of the first tobacs I tried was Flying Dutchman. I also tried Amphora, Sail, Balkan Sobranie and the Middleton blends. These were all drugstore blends back then and I tried most of them. The thing about the Dutchman is how hot it burned. The flavor was appealing, I suppose, but it always toasted my palate. Huge disappointment. I hear that some of the new match blends are pretty good, though, and not really like the original, but more like what it should have been.

Chestnut brown crimp cut in the tin with a fairly heavy tin aroma of licorice. Came rather dry and took to the match like it was doused in gasoline. Flavor started out mild but the tongue bite that seems to be this ones heritage came out quickly. Not a full-fledged bite but a healthy tongue sizzle that felt like pepper had been poured on my tongue. Most unpleasant, and slowing down my puffing cadence to a point that I found irritable did not tame the sizzle.
If that were not enough, the licorice-vanilla flavor became wearing early in the bowl. Along with the sizzle, it felt like my tongue was coated with a graininess that required some effort to remove. To sum up, I found no redeeming features to this one and could only tolerate 3 bowls. This one is best forgotten and it looks up at one star on my personal grid... somewhere around 0.75 stars.

Not the same as it was back in the 70's, I was told. I wasn't alive back in the early 70's, but I can tell you the blend of today will never be placed in my pipes again. A scorcher for sure.

A very typical dutch-style aromatic with its pros (few: great aroma to the nose, either raw or smoked) and cons (a few more: excessive sweetness - although, in this case, more natural than usual for an aromatic -, some tongue biting if you don't smoke it very, very slowly, a long and annoying persistence in mouth). 2,0/5 in my personal rating system.

I received this blend along with a Wally Frank pipe offer (25cents, a long time ago). The pipe was a briar screw-in type that fit onto a nylon shank. The shank proved to be he best smoke of the entire offer.

This is my first review, and it will probably be the most negative one i am going to write Actually i registered to prevent people from buying flying Dutchman.
I,ve smoked quite a few tobacco's, and i have never felt buyers remorse before, most of the better tobacco's do have their time of the day or season of the year. i,ve never thrown away tobacco before,but i was even afraid of blending with it. I kept the tin for 7 years, i thougt aging would be good for it. but actually, after those 5 years nothing has happened with this stuff. it looks the same, feels the same, it even smokes the same way. Hot and tasteless it is, maybe a very long claypipe will tame it and give some taste when drawing mouths full of smoke. but as most of us are Briar lovers, i surely would not recommend this rolling tobacco to burn out our precious pipes.
The guy who gave this blend 2 times 4 stars must be involved in the Niemeier/Orlik company, or dates from the 17th century.

A very finely shredded tobacco, that reminds me of cigarette shag tobacco. It smells so good in the tin that you'll want to put it under your pillow at night. The room note is sweet and smells like Christmas cookies. BUT, this tobacco blend will bite you so hard that you may have a real burn on your tounge and not even be able to taste BUTTER for a week. Be warned, this blend has to be petted or will violently bite.Don't even bother petting it, throw this rubbish as far away from you as you can.

How can anyone resist a a blend called the Flying Dutchmen? The answer is once they get the smack burned off their toungs and have to leach the flavoring from their pipe over days of careful applications of grain alchol. Perhaps it would taste better with a charcoal 9mm filter. I will leave this question unanswered for me.

Scorched my pallet, couldn't touch a pipe for 3-days afterwards. Tried multiple times there after, in a cob & a meer, same roasted tongue. I'm mostly a VA smoker, with occasional bowls of Carter Hall/PA & an English blend (such as Penzance), hot blends usually don't bother me.
But Fry-ing Dutchman is a blow torch. Shame really, as it has a decent taste. Reminds me of eating hot peppers, you'll pay dearly afterwards.
