Black currant and apple aromas give this black cavendish based blend a fruity note. Lightly pressed and fermented ready rubbed Virginia and burley with bright wild cut Virginia leafy supplement this gentle tobacco.

Typical Danish sweet blend from Stanwell's.
The pouch aroma is, as they claim, apple and blackcurrants. The trouble with these really fruity, sweet varieties is that they can easily end up being one of the following.
a) a pot-porri ingredient b) a cough-drop substitute
c) long-time occupant of jar and hidden away in your tobacco store cupboard alongside all the other hideous blends that you have tried from Dan Pipe.
Don't get me wrong, This isn't a Dan Tobacco blend and none of their own concoctions can remotely be regarded as hideous or unpalatable. It's just that DT just sells such a huge variety of blends you want to try them all good or bad. Especially when the world ends on 29th March and Germany stops all tobacco shipments to this country.
Sorry, to continue with the review.
The tobacco mixture is black and tan and very, very dry. It's very coarse and difficult to load unless you break it down a bit more. It takes hundreds of relights and is very frustrating. When you think you a got the core alight it just dies on you.
The taste is something like candy floss meets english orchard, with a twist of ribena. The aromatic haters will have this one on the bus of doom for sure. There is no tobacco taste I can detect and I can see this one really making you feel sick if imbibed on a regular basis.
So, put this alongside Sundays Fantasy, your Captain Black and the majority of Larson's Danish pouch blends at the back of your cupboard and just dig it out when you fancy something sweet and sickly or when you've got a cold.

Got a huge sample of G&I from a friend as i truly was excited to have a taste of apple in my bowl. So far for the theory.
Look is nice and dark with golden Virginia and brown Burley ribbons inside. Smell is sour like cider and nothing else.
Packs well takes flames easily and burns nicely with no relighting and no tongue bite.
The first half of the bowl there's nothing but perfume of apple and citric notes. No tobacco taste at all. Aroma is really too much for my head and I was about to quit but then the flavors got less annoying in the second half. Still not a hint of tobacco detectable feels a bit like smoking aromatized cardboard.
This one is especially for the kind of smoker that doesn't like to have tobacco in a smoke. Probably going to end up mixed with a pure and quality tobacco but never smoked pure again.
