Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG) Skandinavik Mixture

I gave those commonly found OTC tobaccos one last try. Tastes like cinnamon apple and walnuts without any real tobacco taste to speak of, it just tastes unnatural. Its very gloopy and wet. Overall disappointing.

I must confess that Im not an aromatic smoker at all. But this one really don´t has Tobacco flavor, nor smell like Tobacco... It is a nice mild blend of some leaves of something for a very slow smoke somewhat pleasent. But ¿Where is the Tobacco?

My experience with this blend can be summarized by the term "meh". The topping it's quite interesting, but you could hardly taste it while smoking, and the blend has no complexity, so it's ok but nothing special.

I think that the true story behind this taste, is that you need to smoke it as cool as it gets. After you open the pouch the smell of the Black Caventish with vanilla, cocoa and some coffee bites gives you a pleasant feel for what is about to happen when you light it up. It is the tobacco that everyone who want to start with pipesmoking needs to practice etc. It burns well, the aroma stays unfortunatelly in the room and not in the mouth. It is a blend that can be easy a daytime tobacco without any demands for a pipesmoker. It is a light choice for a light smoking in a good price.
Perfectly well for the meaningless puff puff of the day.

Yes, I agree with Gigilos: this is definitely the one that a pipe smoker starts with in Greece... although it's aroma is the best I 've ever tried, it is not recommended for every day use due to the tongue bites it gives... the best room note ever, it is a true delight to be in the same room with one that smokes it, but it is so moist that burns you... I wish there were an incense to burn in a room with this aroma...

When this blend was available in Brazil - about 6 years ago, and the packaging was diffrent -with a sailing boat on it- It was one of my favorite tobaccos. Good price, very decently blended, not too moist, not too dry. Pouch aroma was of toffee / light caramel and nuts, very pleasrable. Burned cool to fine ashes, great smell and nice flavour. I never got an opportunity to taste the new version though...I hope it stills as good as the old one.

This is most probably the first step to one's experimentation with pipes in Greece. It features in childhood memories of bearded uncles and family friends smoking it and leaving its imposing scent to linger in the living room after they ve left.

It has an intriguing aroma and burns quite well without bite. Serious consideration however, reveals that this is not in any way a blend of any complexity, quality or depth. My own fond memories force me to classify it with 1 star but more stringent examination would hardly give it any. This is a case where one's implicated sensual memory enforces a kind of affection to the blend which wouldnt be here if there was no personal relation to it.

The pack has changed in recent years and I dont know whether the blend has also undergone alterations. My review concerns the version which visually featured "the boat".

What a flat tobacco! I have tasted two pouches of this and I hated it from scratches. Skandinavik is one of the mocking companies which want to be convinced as a good Danish tobacco. Maybe the worst mark...Let me consider Clan once again... Oh yes, Scandinavic is the second worse.

This is a typical Danish pipe tobacco: mild, a little aromatic and a wonderful room smell. When I opened the pouch, the tobacco was quite dry so I could load it in the pipe immediately, without a pre-drying. It tastes almost like pure tobacco and it has a slight walnut taste that makes this very enjoyable. The room smells like roasted walnuts, which is really fantastic. You have to smoke this relaxed and slowly, because if you somke too fast it will give you a hard tongue bite, so be careful. But in the end, it is a good tobacco and, along with Vanilla, it is the best version of Skandinavik.
