Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG) Skandinavik Aromatic

You get some nutty, earth, wood and light molasses from the burley. The Virginia has a little citrus and some grass in a secondary position. Not sure about the sweet toppings, but they have a chemical taste that is a little off putting, and sublimate the tobaccos a little. Has a small amount of nicotine. The strength and taste levels are mild. Burns rather fast, and may bite if puffed beyond a slow pace. The flavor is very consistent from start to finish. Requires few relights, and leaves little moisture in the bowl. Has too many drawbacks to rate it higher.

Skandinavik - Aromatic.

Good God, the pouch smells like a swimming pool! Sadly the smoke isn't much of an improvement either, I'll explain.

To avoid completely slagging this off, I'll point out the better things first: it arrives nicely hydrated, it's quite a light colour, the ribbons are an even size, and it burns well. Positives over.

Negatives? Well, where should I begin! Whatever the aromatic ingredients are doesn't matter; either way, it tastes like chlorine. The same can be said of the tobaccos too; I don't care what they are, the chlorine covers them. The tongue bite's atrocious from it and the heat's way too high; it's like putting my tongue into a fire.

This is by far the worst blend I've had until now, it's that bad even Clan seems good compared to it.

Not recommended.

Not a good choise.very strong aroma not pleasant at all.a bit dry packs ok lights easy.it burns really hot and ghosts the pipe after a few bowls.it leaves moisture at the end of the bowl.i also noticed that it leaves a bad mouth taste after smoking it.defenitelly a waste of time to me.

Classic Danish aromatic blend. Strongly flavored but unfortunately strongly chemical. OTC blend, cheap, unpretentious. To make a comparison, if you want a good classic Danish aromatic try Skandinavik mixture, but not this one. Not at all. Skandinavik Aromatic is rather a “panettone”, full of chemical flavorings, cloying. Really ordinary. The new european version of the blend (Skandinavik Navy) is certainly better than this one, but not exciting. At the moment it is currently available as Skandinavik Aromatic only out of Europe while Skandinavik Navy is the name in the European Union. But substantially it is the same blend. If you are looking for a cheap blend and if you like Danish flavored blends give it a try, but there is so much better on the market. In my personal rating system (from 1 to 10) my score is 4 and one star.

This blend doesn't have much to offer. The tobacco is so mild there isn't much flavor. The room note is not unpleasant but it isn't much better than cigarettes. There is no reason for it to be labeled as aromatic. On the positive side, it burns cool and stays lit with no bite at all. Obviously, quality tobacco is used and it would be an outstanding blend if it were not so bland. I would likely keep some of it on hand for the times I don't want a robust blend but I can find a "house blend" at my local tobacco shop that tastes better and costs less.

This was the first tobacco in my pipe after a 7 year hiatus. What was I thinking?

This is one of the worst blends I have ever tried, if not the worst. If I had to describe it with one word, it would be soapy. Very chemical, bland taste. If you want to try skandinavik, try skandinavik white instead.

This is not a bad tobacco, but definitelly not what i was expected! Not a value for money and certainly not an aromatic i would add in my rotation. It burns Hot.

The tobacco is not to bad but it doesn't deliver what it says the flavoring is not strong enough in my opinion and the taste is sapid. On the contrary the rome not is very pleasant.

Not a bad light-aromatic blend, although it´s got not much to remark: No tongue bite, good burning qualities, and flavoring that enhances the underlying tobaccos (mostly burley) instead of masking them completely.
