For me this is the kind of tobacco that you find in gas stations and super markets, cheap and boring. A friend of mine (not a pipe smoker) compared the smell from the pouch with Baileys. Well I couldn't see that resemblance. Very little aroma for being an aromatic.

A very sweet, Irish-coffee tasting blend, that will be loved by those around you. I bought this in a 50g. plastic pouch, and as soon as I opened it, someone sitting next to me asked if I was going to EAT it, the aroma is that yummy.

In my opinion, this blend could be put to better use if added when baking a cake, than smoking it. Think of a stronger version of Radford's Old Scotch, very similar to, but sweeter than, Daviddof's Scottish Mixture.

I bought a pouch and I'm still repenting. If you really want something good to be smelled by those around you, buy incense sticks instead or buy flowers. Tobacco is for anothere use.

An abominable "tobacco", highly irrecommendable. I won't even send a package of this "tobacco" to my own worst enemy.

This blend is mild and sweet and it burns good, but it's really boring! I've smoked only a half of a pack. There is nothing intresting in this blend.

I used to smoke this blend as a young man in Europe around 1980 or so. This is the first time that I tried it since. As a committed aromatic smoker I would say it is not particularly heavy-topped; with mild vanilla and fruity (apricot?) overtones. A pleasant mix of Virginia and Black Cavendish clearly coming through. The tobacco itself is not particularly refined or complex, but burns cleanly without much of a bite unless pushed. It is a perfectly smokeable blend if you have no great expectations; I would probably prefer the "real thing" like Stanwell's "Melange" or Peterson's "Connoisseur's Choice" if I really crave apricot flavour. On the other hand, if you crave high class, satisfying, European aromatic leaf then the best standard is either Solani or W.O. Larsen.
Pipe Used: Stanwell billiard with 9mm filter
PurchasedFrom: tobacco kiosk - Narita village, Tokyo, Japan
Age When Smoked: fresh out of a packet

I bought three different Sweet Dublin Mixtures on a trip through Denmark. With this one you’ll get bright and brown Virginias with some Black Cavendish and an “Irish whiskey” topping. Even some ready rubbed parts are to be found, giving it a quality look and feel. It says “with a sweet topping” in the description. I found this to be true for those who predominantly smoke unflavored blends, but approaching from the side of aromatics the topping is hard to be considered as such. It is definitely more of a sweet Jameson than peaty Connemara (if true whiskey at all).

Every time I push it and the bowl gets too hot, I get a slight soapy/artificial kind of taste in the background, nothing to write home about, but I can see why so many don’t like it.

You’ll find the tobaccos in the lead the entire time, pleasant and satisfying overall. Together with perfectly easy handling this is worth a recommendation when you’re on a budget or gone out of pipe weed on a trip. I guess the fact that it is readily available also at gas stations got me thinking of a cheap, low quality blend. I was wrong.

Pick the yellow for Virginia plus casing, white for Burley with minor casing, the red for Black Cavendish without extra topping.

When i very first started pipe smoking, this was what i smoke. This blend has a wondeful smell, Lacks a bit on the taste,therefor i think this is a good blend to start out with.

Its not that harsh and no hotspots. I think this is a good blend for a fresh soul that is looking into pipesmoking.

from what i know its been around for years. it packs easy lights easy. a blend that does not need much attention, upon lighting there is taste, fruity/bourbon, that will hold till the end, smoke it slow or it will get somewhat hot, no tonguebite. there are better whiskey blends out there for sure but all in all its a nice smoke.
