Holger Danske Black & Bourbon
(2.72)
The greater part of this blend is double fermented Black Cavendish made out of bright Virginia tobaccos. The blend is balanced with Ready Rubbed Burley which provides a slow and cool smoke. The taste is a match between the tobacco and the special bourbon whiskey flavor that has been carefully added.
Notes: Previously blended in Germany by Planta. Currently blended in Denmark by Mac Baren.
Due to EU regulations, this is renamed and sold in those countries as "Black & B.

Even my inexperienced pallet can notice a difference in quality between this blend and blends a few dollars more expensive. If you only have enough money to buy this blend, go for it. It satisfies and isn’t harsh. It has the sweet, smooth, velvety texture from its cavendish base, complimented by the mild burley. The bourbon casing comes across as more of a muddled mix of subtly sweet fruit flavors. This blend can bite if pushed but generally has a tendency not to. Good for the price point, but I personally don’t plan on revisiting this blend.
