Holger Danske Golden Harmony
(2.39)
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 wanted to buy an aromatic tobacco. Went to the tobacco store near to my place, grab that, went back home, packed the pipe. OMG.....!! I don't want to bury this tobacco, I just didn't liked it at all...too much flavor, too much aroma, it seems that if I put an aromatic candle in the bowl it wouldn't be that different...I'll just pass.

Thick cut rather promising looking tobacco out of the pouch. Fragrant aroma of, rather surprisingly, Vanilla and something fruity that may well be mango.
It's rather moist but not unpleasantly so and needs a little rubbing before loading.
First mouthful is also promising. There is vanilla in there for sure, mango - possibly. Progress through the bowl requires frequent relighting and the tobacco itself becomes rather messy and needs a lot of tamping and prodding. Maybe my inexperience though, relatively new to the art of pipe smoking as I am.
Three quarters of the way through I got a nasty backbite and the bowl got hotter than hell. Returning to the pipe after letting it cool wasn't that much better and again it took no time to bite me again.
Returning to the tobacco after resting it a while did little to either improve the flavour or the tendancy towards biting. Mrs RW made no comment on the aroma, hence 'tolerable'.
A disappointing blend then, with only the whisper of vanilla/mango. I shan't be repeating this purchase anytime soon.

I don't recommend this. It was too strong in room note, too fruity for my taste, not very pleasant... Maybe I should try to smoke it outside in the spring or summer, but now, in the middle of winter I find it a bit too flavored.
I think I will just let it age a bit in my jar and try it in the summer, maybe update my review then...

Where is the mango in this stuff? It neither smells nor tastes like mango, but to some strong chemical. If there's some tobacco here, I sure couldn't tell. It also burns way too hot.
If I could give it 1.5 stars I would (just because I have tried some aromatics that are even worse than this one, i.e. Borkum Reef's).

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.
