Nording Pointer
(2.75)
A blend of the best Virginia and burley tobaccos subtly flavored and aged under pressure in the Danish tradition. To make a point, it's mellow and satisfying.

Well...my poetry isn't any better than lustra's, so, I'll bypass rythmic descriptives here. I must also bypass lustra's short & to the point analysis of this Nording blend because I don't quite agree with it. Instead, my impressions are more in line with NEWMAN's regarding the surprising tobacco flavor I received despite the initial thought that I'd opened a box of Crackerjack when I popped the lid.
Other than the candycorn odor wafting from the tin, there were no surprises here. This is a typical Danish style combination of Burley/Virginia (a light sweetness), and it burned cleanly and fairly cool too.
If you like to taste your tobacco in light doses, then flush out a tin of Pointer!

Not a bad blend, just not what I am looking for at the end of the day. It stays lit well and I had no problems keeping it going. I would recommend this just for the trying of it. Who knows, it may be just what you are looking for, just wasn't for me.

To me this is just an OK blend nothing really sets this blend apart. It taste so much like so many other blends I have tried it simply does not stand out in any catagory and doesn't offer anything to make you want to return for another bowl full. This is at best a two and a half star blend at best.

When smoking aromatics, I tend toward those that are blended with some Cavendish, so I needed to work through a few bowls with an understanding that the pace of the puff and the underlying flavors would resemble more or a straight Virginia/Burley blend.
After 4 good smokes, I would agree with those reviewers who found it to be a fine, yet unremarkable blend. It does seem to benefit from a period of drying before smoking as it can be a bit harsh right out of the tin. Once I settled into the pace of the puff, I found it to be a agreeable smoke. It is mild and pleasant in aroma, but after 4 bowls I never quite got the flavor of the Virginia that I was hoping for. I agree with CaptnDan that Burley may be overwhelming the Virginia a bit here. This was especially evident as I got the bottom 1/3 of the bowl.
While this is not a blend I will include in my regular rotation, I can see how it could be a favorite for some aromatic smokers, although for the price, I think equivalent Virginia/Burley blends by other blenders (I am thinking specifically of some of the blends by Russ Ouellette at Pipes and Cigars) may be a better choice.

This particular blend of finely cut, light and dark brown tobacco consists of Virginia and Burley. The scent from the tin is indeed quite near to a bag of Cracker Jacks!
The label refers to the tobacco as "Mellow. Satisfying." Considering the overt caramel scent it actually has a fairly mild flavouring. I had to smoke this blend carefully a couple of times to really get a sense of the flavour. As I suspected, it does indeed have a mild buttered-caramel popcorn taste, but subtlely so. The room aroma is likewise sweet and smooth.
This is a caramel-flavoured blend that I'm likely to keep coming back to because of its mild flavour?often aromatics have the fault of being too rich, and this might prove to be its best feature. It does pay to smoke this blend as slowly as you can manage, however, because it will bite if you don't pay attention to it.
