If you like aros that have a delicate flavor this might be the mixture for you. It smoke dry & cool with no bite. As others have mentioned in their review, the flavor is more like orange rind than orange fruit but is is subtle & tasty.

As many people know I am an aromatic pipe smoker. However, I have grown to love English and Virginia blends, along with strong Latakia. But, this Holger Danske Original Mild Orange outweighs almost all of the aromatics I have tried.
The tin is a good o?l Holger Danske picture. When one opens the tin remember you are opening ?Original Mild Orange,? so look at the tobacco. The tobacco is mixed with a light Cavendish and the mixture itself appears to be very orange in nature.
This is a pre-rubbed blend. No work involved here!! Grab a pipe, fill her up, and find a lighter! When the flame from your lighter hits that tobacco and you take your first little puff the sweetness from the tobacco slowly fills your mouth and you can just barely taste the ?orangish? flavor. The ?orange? is not like that of biting into an orange, but you get a hint of an orange while smoking. The aroma that the tobacco gives off would please anybody, even those that hate the smell of smoke.
At about the middle of the bowl one needs to run a pipe cleaner through the pipe. This tobacco is sweet and the juices in the tobacco will leave a little in the bottom of the pipe. But, no problem, run the cleaner, and light her back up. The tobacco turns a light grey when being burned.
This tobacco is not boring at all!! There is no tongue bight with this blend, at least not that this reviewer found. But, there is no need to smoke this blend fast, puff slowly and enjoy all of the flavoring you can get from it.
Personally, I say use a larger bowl for this tobacco, but for those that don?t like aromatics; a small bowl would be just as good.
This is a blend that will be in a constant rotation, a tin will always be open and a large contribution to the cellar. Get it and give it a chance!!

I am not of those who has not picked a favorite; I enjoy a good English on some days, and a top-end aromatic at other times. I always keep ten blends on hand to suit the mood. This Holger Danske offering is making me re-think my strategy, however. Forget about that business of the aromatics smoking hotter than a nice English blend; this one has the taste and room pleasing aroma, but burns as cool as any English blend every time, from first puff to dottle. I'll keep up with the habit of having ten good blends around the house, but one of them will always be Holger Danske Original Mild Orange.
