This is a perfect aromatic mixture. It is enhanced with flavoring and it is the ideal mixture for all smokers who don't like English mixtures. Especially those smokers impatient of Latakia and Perique. In my personal rating (from 0 to 10) my score is 10 and obviously four stars.
UPDATE 2021-3-1 Perfect for beginners but not for experienced pipe smokers. Otc blend, Danish aromatic, cheap, tasty, but unpretentious. Simply an all-day smoke suitable for inattentive smokers. At the moment it is a good flavored mixture, but nothing in particular. Really mild in strength. One less star; three stars is a correct rating.

Discount tobacco for the Danish aromatics lover or pipe "apprentice". It's like a mid-tier exotic escort: lovely when you buy it, acceptable but not really what you had imagined during, and a slight aftertaste of regret in your mouth after.
Jokes aside: The pouch smell is sweet and pleasant, but not all of it transfers to the smoke itself, and I mentioned it as being good for starters because there is little to no actual tobacco taste to be seen and taking care of it (packing/lighting/avoiding tongue bite) makes you sit down and reconsider your methods if you do it wrong, and you will if you don't dry it a wee bit and smoke it very slowly. Room note is gruesome, while generally pleasant in itself you will get sick of it soon. Its most outstanding feature is the price, and for the money spent on it, it's not half bad. I personally wouldn't buy it again if it doesn't happen to be the only aromatic available (I don't smoke them much anyway), but to each their own as they say. Two stars because it would only warrant one strictly quality wise but for the price it sells around here, it's more than adequate, as I said.
Strength: Mild. My late grandfather called it "children's tobacco" once haha
Flavoring: Medium to Strong. Chocolate, vanilla, coffee, raisins?, some other sweets I can't exactly tell, I'm at a loss to guess all of them correctly or detect which is actual tobacco casing and which is added chemically later. In any case, "subtle" flavor my arse.
Taste: Medium to Full. While not all of the smell and room note can be tasted in your mouth, it's still aromatic lover's galore. Not full-bodied or too complex at all, indeed it's rather flat when pitted against other, "better" aromatics, but it takes a fistful of different aromas and punches you in the teeth for what it's worth so +1 for effort.
Room note: Pleasant to Tolerable. Smells nice but oh dear will you hate it after a while.
Overall Rating: two stars. While a laughable low-shelf aromatic compared to some others, it does good what it has to and it's unbeatable for the price. For fans of the genre (especially those interested in Danish mixtures), worth a try, if only one.

Skandinavik - Mixture.
This is a bit of an improvement on the blend I reviewed from this company a few days ago: Skandinavik Aromatic, that was simply foul. This on the other hand isn't a four star blend, but better than Aromatic.
The pouch contains fairly well rubbed, medium size ribbons, with good moisture and a slightly nonplussing aroma: It smells a lot more aromatic than it tastes. It's quite tricky to put a finger on exactly what the pouch-note is, it smells slightly alcoholic and a little floral.
This is quite simple to light up, and to be fair it burns well. The added flavour comes over at a mild to medium strength: the first added flavour to be recognised is the vanilla from the Black Cavendish. There's nothing floral like I found in the pouch-note, but there is a subtle alcoholic taste: it has the sweetness of rum, but none of the sharpness from it. This doesn't bite as bad as some blends but it still issues a bit of agro, and this is exacerbated by the heat from the smoke; it's not too bad at first, but heats up rapidly.
The nicotine's a little below medium, and the room-note's quite nice.
This is better than their Aromatic blend, but better doesn't mean great:
Somewhat recommended.

Maybe the best blend from inexpensive brands.Very nice aroma from the beginning you open the pouch until the end.You can smoke it every day,with your coffee,after dinner even with a drink.The tobacco quality is excellent.It doesn't bite if you smoke it slow.Aroma is a mix of chocolate,rum and coffee.Taste in your mouth is exactly as it smells.For me it's highly recommented.

The Virginia is mildly grassy with a little citrus as the lead component. The burley is a little nutty, earthy, woody and molasses sweet as a supporting player. The black cavendish offers a mild sugar and vanilla to the proceedings. The sweet toppings are hard to define (orange? and something else?), but notes of alcohol accompany it. They tone down the tobacco a bit. The strength, nic-hit and taste levels are mild. Burns too warm, and can bite if pushed very far. The sweet flavor is very consistent as it burns at a moderate pace. Requires few relights, and leaves a little moisture in the bowl. The after taste and room note are pleasant, but if you don’t sip it, your tongue will let you know about it. An all day smoke.

I think I'm gonna try the natural version because the aromatic version didn't do a thing for me. I really would have preferred the natural, but there wasn't any in stock.
The blend does not contain much casing, which was a blessing, but it is such a light tasting blend that I don't enjoy it. In fact, I kept checking my pipe to make sure it was lit.
This really is quality leaf, just too Danish for this American's taste buds.

The fresh smell reminds me of hazelnuts and wine must; but once lit, it has a "dry and sour" taste, typical of northen flavoured tobaccos. It would taste better if smoked in a cold winter day rather than in an italian spring. The flakes, yet humid, still kind of hard when packing into the bowl.

A Classic danish aromatic. Upon you the pouch you can see and smell the Black fermented cavendish, classic of the danish court. Easy to stove in the pipe at the opening without drying it out and lights easily with only one relight. Wonderful sweet taste and room note but with a lack of vitamin N. If your a cavendish lover, this is the right tobacco for it's taste and price. An all day smoke for my aromatic pipes. 4 stars.
