Holger Danske Golden Harmony
(2.38)
Blended by hand from loose cut Virginia tobaccos, rounded with ready rubbed burley, black cavendish and Oriental leaf.
Notes: Formerly known as "Mango and Vanilla", due to regulations this blend is now called "Golden Harmony" and it now comes in a 40 grams pouch. Also, the recipe has been changed a bit. The old pouch description was, "A blend of selected, slightly toasted Virginia and burley tobaccos. The aroma of mellow mango fruit topped with a touch of vanilla gives this mixture a unique tropical character."

I highly recommend this blend as an aromatic. The tobacco is quality and you can taste it. The mango does emerge while smoking in both the aroma and the taste but it is not excessive or too sweet. I haven't really tasted the vanilla in the 6 or so bowls I've smoked. Aromatic lovers should definitely try this blend.

Delightful summer morning smoke with vanilla and noticeable mango aroma. Pouch smell is very fruity, fresh and enjoyable. Tobacco burns equally with rich aromatic smoke and low condensate. With new version you can feel the oriental that gives it more of tobacco taste but doesn't really fit in, in a way. It burns fast and hot if you puff too strong, so be gentle with it.
I'd recommend it as an option for aromatics lovers, but it definitely doesn't beat my other usually cherry and vanilla aromatic favorites.

It is a nice aromatic, actually among all aromatics that I've smoked this one deserves a try.
You will not notice much of the taste you want... neither mango nor vanilla will catch your attention, but it has some fruitty unclear taste that I think is nice but not very special. Make sure to use a pipe for aromatics, I recomend a corncob pipe.
Room note is not that great but pleasant, the people around you will not get impressed. The smell out of the tin is just fantastic, unfortunatelly it does not translate into the tobacco itself!
If you're looking for a nice aromatic or in the begining of your pipe experience this is a good start in aromatics.
* Make sure to dry out a bit, aromatics tend to burn hot when too moist! Let it take some fresh air 😉

Like smoking an air freshener.
This one smells great and tastes awful. If that isn't bad enough, it will also roast your mouth.
Remove the tin lid and set it out for use as an air freshener. After the scent fades, throw it out, but beware, your garbageman may consider this toxic waste and charge you extra for hauling it away.
