it's one of the first tins I've ever tried, about 2 years ago, and didn't like it much, but I revisited it again yesterday, I kept the tobacco in the tin(half of the tin was full) and interestingly it's still moist! not too much, but after 10 mins it's ready to pack, I'm smoking it right now, I taste, chocolate, vanilla, sweet, honey, it's tasty! Virginia in this is grassy and citrus, but it turns down by the topping but you can taste the tobacco. it won't bite(sometimes a tingle on the tongue) if you puff on this slowly it taste better. room note is good, and it didn't ghost your pipe. I'm not an aromatic smoker but it is a good change every once in a while.

I am sorry to say that i didn´t like this one at all! The smell out of the pouch is just overwhelming artificiall and reminds me more of candy floss than anything else. Because of the ribbon cut i find it hard to fill and difficult to stay lit. The taste is very sweet from the virginias used and gets even more sweeter through the flavouring to become almost overwhelming! Unfortunately i could not taste any vanilla or honeydew at all! For my taste just sweetness isn´t enough and with all the atention needed to keep the pipe going i can not recomend this one...

I have a feeling that all Dan tobaccos are extremely long cut. It's not the easiest to pack a pipe - at least in my fashion and not easy to keep lit. Will have to pack tighter maybe let it dry out a bit before the false light. Best flavor was mid-bowl. Harsh light if exhaling through the nose. Decent flavor. Maybe a bit too rich for me. Cellaring for a year or two to see how it develops.

Pretty tasty, does bite a little, but all in all.......right good! The room note is outstanding, and in the tin smells like a desert. I would recommend this.

I bought it in Austria, it was a pouch of 50gr. When I opened it a strong flavor a Vanilla reached my nose. The tobacco itself is easy to light and charge in your pipe, is a little bit "fat" it leaves most of it's flavoring on the pipe but after a good cleaning the pipe lose it's ghost. It's a good aromatic but it didn't flash me enough.

I've always liked Sweet Vanilla Honeydew. Very sweet aromatic with a great flavor and room note. Recently, I've found it to have somewhat of a bite, perhaps because I smoke fast with a lot of puffs, but you can't beat the distinctive sweet honey flavor.

I bought a tin of this due to all the favorable reviews. I don't know what other people were smoking, but it couldn't have been this Sweet Vanilla Honeydew.
This tobacco has zero tobacco taste or smell. There is also hardly any vanilla taste or smell, and no sign at all of any 'honeydew'. This thing is so mild it's like smoking fresh air with a slight hint of vanilla.
By all means try this 'tobacco' (I hesitate to call it that because apart from looking at it in the tin, there's no actual smell or taste of tobacco), but why not just suck fresh air through your pipe - you'll get the same result and save a lot of money.
Recommended for people who want to smoke something that hasn't got the slightest smell or taste of pipe tobacco.

This blend had a lot of potential. With an amazing room note and taste I liked it for a while. The wife found it very pleasant and basically asked for it to be smoked once in a while.
Like other tobaccos in my opinion it was over cased and bit too much. The taste did have vanilla in it, which is difficult to achieve, kudos.
In the end it was an awesome blend to try, but not one I'd keep. I would however recommend it to an aromatic smoker.

You will never feel alone with this one, you could whatch the most beautifull girl in the world without paying attention. If you have a wife, wait she's not home to smoke this one she could be jalous, and open the window before she comes back she may think an other girl was there and be jalous also 🙂

This tobacco has an unusual aroma...a bit sour...kind of artificial and not what I would call honeydew..vanilla very low note. This is another one that I'm going to let sit and revisit. There is something about it that reminds me of my travels to the far east ..I can't quite figure out why. I'm hoping it improves with age. I would recommend asking someone for a pinch to try but if you are expecting true vanilla and sweet honeydew melon you might be disappointed. Will update in a few months.
