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.

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 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.

It's just a junk product & complete waste of money. This blend has a very heavy smoke with strong bite and very unpleasant room note. It is anything but aromatic!The only usage of this blend for me was to mix it with other blend of aromatic tobaccos to alleviate the exaggerated aroma of them!

The first tobacco I have ever tasted (this one) was a complete failure after I have tasted the second one. Boring, with no aroma at all and very irritating in throat. Stay away, even if it doesn't cost so much...

IMO, this is a cheap tobacco, to be used by those that, actually smoke a pipe just for the looks... I really don't understand why someone should smoke this stuff... not much taste, not much aroma, not much room note and the one that exists after the smoke, isn't that good... Grade:D

Not really much to say about this one, just another overflavoured danish mixture. The taste is sweet, boring and even people around me found it unpleasant. Thankfully the pouch was a present; so at least I havent wasted any money
