Sillem's Copenhagen Blend
(3.24)
Virginia, burley, and black cavendish topped with the flavor of Amaretto and toasted nuts.
Notes: Sillem’s Copenhagen Blend smells like a mild winter’s evening by the fire with your favorite libation. It’s a mild aromatic blend of Virginias, burleys and creamy black cavendish.
Some sites, as this one used to, note that perique is a component. We have decided to go by Smoking Pipes description.

Sillem's - Copenhagen Blend.
It's quite a coarse mixture, including a few bits I chose to sift out and discard. The VaBur side accounts for more of the blend than black Cavendish. The aroma's mildly alcoholic and the moisture's perfect.
From the start the topping flagellates and pushes the tobaccos aside. As you'd expect, nutty and alcoholic. The nuts give more flavour at the start of a bowl, but after halfway the alcohol overtakes and causes the flavour to become astringent and sour. As I anticipated from the appearance the tobacco flavour's mainly a VaBur one, the black Cav' only gives the smoke a delicate softness. The burn from Copenhagen's self regulating, needs little maintenance, but can be a touch quick. I get no bite.
Nicotine: medium. Room-note: pleasant.
Copenhagen Blend? I think this epitomizes a two star smoke:
Somewhat recommended.

I once thought Sillems was unstoppable, as they make one of my favorite blends still produced (Black) and did a fantastic job on the other concoction I tried from them, but this one was off the mark. The amaretto topping is quite accurate, though the overall smell is woody and not terribly sweet.
The cut was rough and the packed bowl was happy. The tobacco leaf quality was also present. While I was glad it wasn't overly sticky with additives, it just didn't have the beef this aromatic fan wanted to chew into. Another oddity, was the lack of a label on the tin, not sure if that is standard or just a "lucky" me thing.
There wasn't anything inherently bad here, but it was nowhere near the eye-popping robustness of their other products.

The taste reminds of Davidoff's Danish mixture, with more nutty taste. The room note however is fantastic and the tobacco quality is top notch. Personally I find it the taste too mild and unexciting. 3 out of 5 stars.
