W.O. Larsen Scarlet Passion

Very nice blend! Vanilla is imperceptible until ½ of the bowl. After that the flavour shows itself however the fruity note is much more noticeable.

Great room note from my wife and it leaves a pleasant after-smoke taste into your mouth (not a ash or cigarette-like).

When compared to other black cavendish based aromatics smelling like a detergent or fabric softener, it's a well-balanced burley-virginia-black cavendish mixture. I would say 20%, 10%, and 70%, respectively. Virginia is unnoticeably low whereas the burley inside plays a very significant role, that's why the black cavendish does not give any overwhelming taste during the entire smoke. Licking my lips even increases the initial burley note.

Apart from all, the cut of the tobacco is quite unusual. I thought, at first, that my smoke will surely be hot and the bowl will suffer from it because of its thin ribbon cut. Contrarily, it burns perfect.

One should notice that "Sweet Aromatic" (SA) and "Scarlett Passion" (SP) are said to be the same tobacco by its manufacturer. However, in my opinion, they are fundamentally different, still both are fine and worth to give a try. I did not notice any cherry or vanilla in SA, but SP will surely give a nice changing taste of both cherry and vanilla. SP is more aromatic than SA, if compared.

Just finished my second pouch of this tobacco and I think W.O. Larsen never disappoint you, their tobaccos give you want you want. The Sweet Aromatic is not to strong and doesn't punch your tongue with a strong taste. Also, the cut is fine and easy, it smokes by itself and it doesn't requires a strong attention during your smoking session. It is an all day tobacco.

Another great Larsen blend. Caramel flavours well blended with top quality leaf. Cool buring, fragrant, no goop on the pipe. If you want to get to the next level in Larsen blends try the Simply Unique blend. Recommended.

As most Larens? tobaccos, Sweet Aromatic is made from high quality leaf, careful blending, and a topping that is at once flavorsome, sweet-ish, but not at all cloying, dense or enervating. The tobacco taste is there, but it?s mild, elegant and fresh.

I like most Larens? blends because of these qualities, and because they are far from having an artificial or chemical undertone. The tobacco, as noted, is not musky or humid. Like Selected Blend No. 80 it?s rather dry, but not in the CD sense of dryness: it?s more a natural state, perfect for immediate consumption, and with excellent burning qualities.

The flavor and aroma are very nice. There?s a certain politeness to most Larsens?, and this one is no exception. Most civilized people will compliment the smoker on the aroma. It does lack a bit of strength and it can become slightly dull. But if having coffee and just wanting to relax without annoying anybody around you, this one of those ?perfect blends?. A nice change of pace, even for those none-aromatic smokers.

W.O. Larsen tobaccos I usually veer away from, but being a pipe smoker who enjoys a good aromatic I had to give this a try. Over the past couple of weeks I have smoked this tobacco maybe 5 or 6 times in several size bowls finding it smokes better in the medium size bowl.

This tobacco reminds me of Stokkebye's Black and Tan with it's taste, cut and aroma. I added this to my occasional list of tobaccos as it is a mild tobacco IMO.

As I smoked this tobacco I find it gets better once you smoke it through the half-way point of the bowl with the mild Vanilla aroma, although, I never did taste or detect the fruitiness of the tobacco. This presented itself as slow cool tobacco down to the bottom of the bowl, with, IMO had no tongue bite.

I tried this tobacco about a month ago, and i have to say that it's not bad at all. It is a mild tobacco, for every occasion. The aroma is great, but sometimes the bowl can go really hot. Pipers searching for a change, and pipers who like vanilla tobaccos, you have to try this.

This tobacco I just bought after reading at the backside of the pouch.

I was looking for something mild/sweet and aromatic. -It is, but not really the very mild that I wanted. Very nice tin aroma.

I find it to easy to smoke varm. Too harsh to my throat. And I do use filter...

About vanilla; I don´t know. I can´t tell, but very nice room note. I get quite a good taste after a smoke.

50g pouch is also avaliable

Update of recomendation Because it has so nice room note and tin aroma, even if it burns to varm, -3 stars

WO Larsen is one the greatest makers of high quality tobacco (it almost broke my heart when I saw that they had closed down their faboulus shop in Copenhagen (I beleive there's a Nike store there now)), and this is no exception. And when it comes to aromatics no one can beat them. This is a typical Larsen, not the best but good enough. I really appreciate aromatics but this one is a little bit too sweet for me to be having four stars.
