Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG) Kentucky Bird

Hello i'm a recent pipe smoker. This tobbaco is like empty of anything could make me feel i'm smoking something like tobacco. Nothing really enternaining in my mouth. i would say it is really better to smell in the pack than anything else. Sorry for my english (native language french). I was more entertained with WO Larsen aromatics than this one whitch seem to me that he maybe try too mutch to be pleasant and finaly doesn't have much carracter.

Bought some of this In Holland on a trip and enjoyed it. Can bite a bit if you are puffin away. Not the best aromatic blend (that is what I prefer) I have had, but to my palate not offensive at all. Just had to keep it slow and steady. Been through half a pouch and will buy more if I can find it around my area.

As other people said, this tobacco is much too hot when smoked. For those who want to try a better quality while keeping the flowery-taste, i'll recommend Von Eicken's "Springwater Exotic Cut".

At ?2.50 a pouch I thought this might be a bargain. After 3 draws on the pipe, I see I was ripped off. I think this may be an attempt at a Sunday's Fantasy kind of blend. Whatever it is it didn't work. There's a plethora of jokes comming to mind in remembering this vile stuff, but it just isn't worthy. Our time zone here is 9 hours ahead of California (pacific standard time) So, I speak from the future. Steer Clear.

December 2005. Lighting Kentucky Bird was easy,but after 5 or 6 puffs my throat felt like it was on fire,and my tongue and lips felt as though they had been overly cooked on a red hot BBQ. The flavour is very strong,and accompanied by "HOT HEAT" leaving me with the feeling of smoking etremely extra hot coles from a vulcano.(No,I'm not exagerating) I'm a lady pipe smoker with 34 years experience coming up next New Years Eve.But,never has any blend burnt me like Kentucky Bird. If the heat could be turned down,then the flavour might be more enjoyable. The only positive thing about this experience,was the photograph of the bird. If you do go ahead and try it,make sure your near a fire hydrant!

I'm not an aromatics smoker. I just tossed a pouch of WO Larsen Black Diamond in the bin. That being said i didnt find this stuff half way bad. I did like the delecate tender leaf and a rather not too heavy casing and topping tbh. I was wondering wether there were rose leafs in there or those were small light VA leafs. Other than that light VAs and maybe white burley and lets say about 10% of Black cavendish. There seems somewhat of a slight rum like casing and a topping of something that gives a scent of roses and ... chrysanthemum maybe? The pouch note translated very well to the actual smoking experience. Has to smoked at a slow pace or it will bite, lose flavour and get harsh. Smoked out of a cob. Holds the flavour throughout the entire bowl. Mild nic hit. Can be an allday smoke for someone who likes mild aromatics.

Mmmmmah...premetto che non amo gli aromatizzati, se non nel profumo e nella nota d'ambiente. Per essere un aromatizzato si comporta piuttosto bene: è più discreto dei vari panettoni Skandinavik e Cube. Buono il sentore floreale, ma troooooppa vaniglia. Lo consiglio, ovviamente, agli amanti degli aromatizzati. Io ora, un po' nauseato, torno a Capstan e St.Bruno.

Flavored mixture with natural flowers. Mild Virginia and sun cured Kentucky tobaccos. This is what was declared! Therefore, it is an innovation in pipe smoking. However, the outcome is not that great! My advice: if you prefer flavored blends and if you like floral essences but you can’t stand Lakeland flavoring this is for you. Again: if you don’t like Kentucky flavor in a blend this is for you. Mild strength, medium flavoring, the taste is sugary and redolent. The room note is pleasant. Suitable for those who love particular aromatic flavors. For me simply banal. Nothing else to say. In my personal rating system (from 1 to 10) my score is 5 and two stars.

Tin note is sweet burley floral some citrus. Course ribbon cut. The VA gives this just a touch of sweetness. and the Kentucky give it some boldness. Defiantly an aromatic blend. This one has a good balance , not too much flavoring. This is a higher quality blend and I would recommend it to Aromatic smokers that like a nice floral taste very light nic hit and a touch of sweetness. I would use a small bowl as the VA keeps this one very warm if pushed at all. Doesn't bite. Recommended for Lakeland smokers.
