W.O. Larsen Selected Blend No. 80 Mahogany Mixture
(2.71)
High grade Virginia tobaccos and black toasted cavendish are blended to perfection in this exquisite mixture. The smoothing touch of aged burley imparts a fresh, light sweet note that is beautifully enhanced when smoked in a medium-sized pipe. This mixture is perfected with the nuances of coffee and caramel.
Notes: Formerly known as Selected Blend No. 80 Light Aromatic, the name was changed to conform to EU laws.

I found a tin of this at Iwan Ries's discontinued discount bin. I can see why it's discontinued. It's a refined enough tin, seducing me to try it. I like the chubby chair with the man smoking in it. That's about all there is to like. Tin aroma is initially sweet & overpowering, but it settles as the tin remains open a few minutes. Tobacco is dry but presentation elegant. I have a feeling that this factory is the same one packing Dunhill blends. It's pressed tightly into the tin & offers a dazzling array of speckled autumnal colors. This is where the pleasure ends. Taste & aroma are flat, hot, insipid & offer no dimension of flavors. This is a thicker cut cigarette tobacco with a casing; like smoking hot wind with a noxious after taste. A friend of mine often comments how he loves Danish pipes but hates their tobacco, loves English tobacco but hates their pipes. I don't know if I would go that far, but Larsen is some of the worst junk I've ever tried. Not worth any discounted price or even free.

In my never-ending search for a good aromatic, my tobacconist recommended this. Upon opening the tin, I was disappointed, but this is not to the fault of the fine people at Larsen. Just like with my coffee or chocolate, I do not like the smell or taste of fruit in my pipe tobacco, and that's what I detect when I open up the tin.
Getting past that, it packs and smokes easily, but there's nothing of that fruity tin aroma. In fact the taste is a bit bland. If you're looking to taste something aromatic, then I suggest you move along. But if you want a mild tobacco with a neutral and nondescript flavor with a tolerable room aroma for non-smokers, then this is your tobacco. Again, since it stays lit easily, you can expect to find no tongue bite.
This is a neutral, polite tobacco, and I'll smoke it when I don't really know what I want to smoke. But once I finish the tin, I doubt I'll buy another.

The can intrigued me with it's Light Aromatic so I had to try it. I could not tell when I was smoking it as I puffed harder till the bowl was almost too hot to handle. I also did not care for the after taste
