When reviewing aromatic tobaccos, it is only fair to compare them to other blends of the same genre. So, that is why I am giving Larsen Classic a 4-star rating.
This aromatic is noticeable as far as room bouquet. but it has a rich tobacco taste in the foreground. And, for an aromatic, it burned quite cool.
Those of my briar brothers and sisters who are consistent aromatic smokers may thoroughly enjoy this Danish offering. I sure did!

I've been lucky enough in the recent past to receive some of this marvelous tobacco.
Now, I've grown a lot less fond of aromatics over the past year. I still like Blue Note, and I still smoke some of the others, but English and Orientals, Perique and Latakia have all seized me in their grips.
Then, along comes this pretty tin, with an aromatic that doesn't leave my throat tasting like an old fireplace, and that has a nice taste in my mouth. Sweet, without being cloying, rich without being heavy.
So, I've now found a great morning smoke, or a smoke for when I'm around others who might find the Latakia too much to handle.

This is good aromatic. Toping is mild, so you can feel natural taste of tobacco. No tongue bite, even puffed fast. Hints of vanilla, dried fruits and nuts. not the best aromatic for me, but worth 4 stars !!!

W.O. Larsen - Classic.
I opened this thinking it was an English, the tin note rectified that idea! That's the first thing that confuses me: the unlit aroma suggests a strongly flavoured, slightly floral, and possibly perfumey aromatic; this is way off the mark. As has been previously stated by Krg1000, the moistness is good, so it's a case of open, load, and light!
I'd say, for the inaugural part of the smoke, the figs are dominant in the smoke; more so than any other flavour: I get a superb dark fruitiness. It takes around ten minutes for this to abate somewhat, and then I'm unsure as to what the 'other/misc' flavourings are, but other than the figs, cherries are the only other taste I can identify.
The other details concerning Classic are fairly straightforward: I get a mild nicotine amount, the room-note's very pleasant, no bite whatsoever, it burns superlatively (leaving a white ash), and the smoke's cool.
I can't understand why I'll be the first to award this four stars, but it's the subjective nature of piping that makes it fun!
Highly recommended.
