In the Tin: This has a pleasant fragrance of Virginias and a fruit essence, perhaps apricot.
Packing and Lighting: This comes in a fairly narrow ribbon, and packs, lights, and stays lit quite easily.
The Taste: To me this tastes mostly of sweet Virginia, and Burley, just considerably sweeter than a Virginia/Burley blend. I don't detect any apricot in the smoke. You'd have to puff pretty hard to burn yourself. Overall a very pleasing easy to smoke sweet aromatic without an in your face taste.
I'd give this 4 stars but this doesn't make it into my regular rotation of aromatics.

This is too light for my tastes, even for an aromatic. Very little taste whatsoever. Very sticky stuff. The tin aroma has that Danish trademark liqueur smell, but the room aroma is nice to bystanders. I don't really dislike it, but I happily gave my tin away to a new smoker.

Like the estimable Col. Panic above, I feel this is a good now-and-again smoke. Needs 30+ minutes to dry, but then packs fine. The topping has a nice subtle smell -- dried apricots I think -- can't quite put my finger on it. The char light reveals some PG aroma, but this dissipates fast. Room note is not bad, but not the crowd-pleaser you might expect from the pouch aroma. Good when "DGT'd" i.e., finishing a partial bowl several hours after the initial light. Not as complex as, say, Two Friends' Valle Crucis, but a good change of pace.
