Holger Danske - Daily Mixture Classic.
I opened this more out of curiosity than want. Daily Mixture, to me, suggested a probable shag cut, boring blend. So, I took it out of my stash, and from the moment I peeked into the tin I realised I'd made an incorrect prediction.
The blend's presented not as a standard ribbon, but is a coarsely broken flake. The nose from the mix suggests only a VERY mild topping/sweetness, but other than this it just smells like a VaBur. Because the tobacco's concealed inside a polythene bag in the tin the moisture's how I like it: a little damp but smokable.
In the smoke I can't detect much of an added flavour, apart from a very subtle sweetness. The majority of the smoke goes to the Virginia and Burley. It tastes high quality, though. I'd describe it as an even split: doughy, sweet, Virginia, with the same amount of nutty, robust Burley. It burns nicely, to a pale ash, giving a mid temperature smoke, without bite.
Nicotine: medium. Room-note: pleasant.
Daily Mixture? A pleasant blend which would make a good 'All Day' smoke. Three stars:
Recommended.

I understand why many hate this blend but I seem to like it somewhat. It has a good balance between the blended virginia and burley, perhaps more or less 50/50 which gives it good body while not getting hot from too much virginia; That's hard to find these days. Then there is that flavor. It's sort of dark semi-sweet fig fruity with something of a piquant edge that is it's most detracting feature; Kinda like the bitter elements of wild berries. It can be reduced if the blend is dried out and then rehydrated which is what I recommend. Also, the flavor has something of a cola-like element. Despite how thoroughly it is flavored it is rather dry like a dutch cavendish in a ready-rubbed cut plug. I think there is a niche for more blends processed like this. What I like about it most of all is it represents a more rounded and sweeter burley-ish cut plug then is the norm. I find most other burley tobaccos a bit flat. The closest I can liken this tobacco to is the bastard child of Mac Baren's Norwood and Rattrays Marlin Flake, if you can imagine that.

Pretty nice VaBur. The Virginias are mildly sweet hay with a note of citrus. The Burley is earthy and mildly nutty. The Virginias lead by just a little. A fast pace will get you a little harshness on the retrohale. A moderate pace will give you a smooth tasty smoke. Not complex, but a pleasant smoke nonetheless.
Mild to medium in body and taste. No added flavoring detected. Burns very well.
