This is a great aromatic blend that I occasionally smoke alone or add to a less expensive blend to add a bit of taste. I tends to ghost a pipe if smoked straight often, but that's no problem, as I have many pipes, and am not a purist. I think of it as a sweet treat or dessert blend, although I am a Latakia and Perique fiend. I will avoid smoking it in the pipes I use for my Latakia and English blends. I highly recommend it as an alternative to strongly cased cherry or other fruit -infused aromatic blends. It's been berry, berry good to me.
Pipe Used: Lorenzo Freehand, my own freehand briar.

I was blown away when I tried this.Not as sweet as it smells in the tin (disagreeing with other reviews)Somewhat complex VERY enjoyable smoke. Pairs very well with coffee. I could smoke this stuff all day. I will be buying this in bulk to make sure I don't run out!For me the tobacco flaver comes through to mellow out the sweetness which puts this over the top in my book.Sip slowly and enjoy to avoid a bite and bitter finish. Another 4 stars in my book.

Desert tobacco? nice note, little bite, a little overpowering fruity taste, some nic- kick....overall ok. Colors meerschaum slowly but with a seamless gradiant.

I enjoy good aromatic tobaccos but couldn't handle this one. Too sweet and extremely cloying. Too much berries and not enough tobacco. I turn slightly green just thinking about the overbearing sugary berry aroma. If you want a classy berry/cherry tobacco, try Karl Erik Private Blend No. 16.

I have had this on my tobacco counter at home for five years. I like the tin art on this. As for the tobacco, terrible. If you blend this into another tobacco you will ruin it also. It smells so good in the tin, as for alot of aromatics. And again, as in most aromatics, the smell does not translate into flavor. To be fair, I am not an aromatic smoker. I like the flavor of tobacco and I love nicotine. That is why I smoke pipes and cigars.

When I opened the tin all you could smell were the berries.Something came up and I didn't have a chance to light this one up for about a week.It didn't seem to completely dry out when I reopened the tin. It packed and lit easily but needed just one re-light in a Pete's 2nd billiard.It wasn't too sweet for an aromatic and to my surprise it didn't burn hot at all.The first tin didn't last very long and occasionally I like to smoke this one right after the dinner dishes are done.The berry smell reminded everyone in the house of the potpourri my wife likes to put out in trays. I've picked up 10 more tins and have added them to my small collection. I would highly recommend this blend to any aromatic smoker or anyone else looking for a change.

Devils Holiday, another winner from Dan Tobacco of Germany. I see what they mean when they say Devilishly Delicious, because it is. It also has a nice little kick to it that i absolutly love in a blend. This one is chock full of wild berries that gives off an irresistable flavour that is both zesty and tangy. Dedicate one of your favorite briars to this blend because it is a very lingering kinda smoke. Very little tonguebite from DH, just light it, tamp it a bit to settle, relight and enjoy. The roomnote had my motherinlaw beleiving my wife was baking a cherryberry pie upon entering the kitchen where i sat puffing away at this very exotic blend. Though it is a delicious smoke to be sure, i can get burnedout quick if i had to smoke it all day, that is why i rank this one three stars. It isn't even a part of my regular rotation, but i will come back to it from time to time.

I was reading some reviews the other day and read about this one and noticed that the poor pipe smoker was having a hard time getting this stuff. Seems like every pipe club meeting I would walk past a jar of this offered in bulk but just never got around to trying it. So, on my next visit I went to the bulk jar selection and low and behold it was gone. I asked what happened and was told that someone came in and bought the whole bag that they had for filling the jar. So much for leaving some for other customers, I fumed inside my brain. A fellow member of the club brought in his tin the following week and I have to admit this is great stuff. The tin note knocks you out with the scent of berries or like a berry wine. Smokes sweet and pleasant but not too sweet which I prefer sometimes in smoking an aromatic. The next time the jar is back out on the shelf I am going to buy a couple of ounces. Another elusive weed that I was able to try. Thanks again, pipe club member.

if you like over the top goopy aromatics, this is for you. For everyone else I'd say there are twenty better options. Dan Tobacco makes some great non aromatics, but their aromatics tend toward the very sweet and goopy.

Dan tobacco devils holiday is truly a hodgepodge of flavors and smells. The tin note was just of a mixed fruit flavor with a caramel topping. This blend is very unique and I would say a must for aromatic smokers. The tobacco is easy to pack and keep lit which is always a plus for pipe smokers. The taste is just of a mixed berry medley and it is delicious. The flavoring isn't overwhelming there is still a tobacco taste to this, but it actually reminded me of smoking sheesha. Overall a true treat for any pipe smoker who wants a break from their English's, Virginias, vapers, kentuckys, Balkans and burleys. So enjoy everyone this one is a good one a day type of smoke I just can't see smoking this all day though. Also will ghost a pipe you have been warned.
