Dan Tobacco Devil's Holiday

A dark mixture with a few yellow bits which adds visual interest.

Smells and tastes like blackcurrant cordial to me. Which is a good thing. When I go to a tobacco with a strongly sweet aroma I want it to have a strongly sweet flavour too. Along with Cornell and Diehl's Autumn Evening this is one of the few aromatics I have found were the flavour not only matches the smell but is also delicious. Nor does it require you to smoke it at a snail's pace to avoid a scorched tongue and a spoiled flavour.

Good stuff.

I'm definitely one of those lovers of this unique aromatic tobacco. I always have trouble finding aromatics that are classy and quality. I just like having a couple on hand for when the mood strikes, so I am very particular about what I invest in. Devil's Holiday is pitch (fork) perfect for my palette, and it is unlike any other I have tried. Yes, berry; yes, premium tobacco...but what you don't hear is how sinfully decadent it makes your pipe smell and taste. It's like how those chocolate dipped cherries smell. Just fantastic. I definitely recommend picking a dedicated pipe for this one, as it may ghost - but that is one marvelously wicked ghost. I love what my dedicated pipe smells like, and my pipe bag, too. Absolutely a huge advocate of Devil's Holiday. Truly one of a kind, and a sure bet for someone who is looking for just one or two aros to have on hand. Great tobacco. A+

Having tried Blue Note, it is a wonder that I had yet to come across this blend. Based on the previous reviews, I was surprised that the tin aroma was not as strong as I expected. Just as with Blue Note, the leaf is of high quality. This is however a much darker more dried fruit smelling kind of leaf. The mixed corse and ribbon cut strands are surprisingly dry to the touch but noticeably coated with some substance (top casing I would guess). Fruits and berries (mostly raspberries), some dried fruits/figs, and the slightest hint of whatever gives Blue Note its candy like aroma. Overall a high quality tobacco with an easy burning leaf, moderately cool for this aromatic of a blend, and a room note that is pleasant to the majority of bystanders. A good blend for the Virginia lover that needs a public friendly option (but still heavily aromatic of course). On par with Blue Note in quality. Maybe a bit preferred due to the cut, leaf, and smoking properties.

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.

The first time i smoke,i try to find which one is the best aromatic tobacco. Then i try this and i feel lot of love with it. This is the best aromatic tobacco i have smoke. Sweet smoke.

This is one of the first tobaccos I tried as a pipe smoker. I liked it then and I still like it. I've been through about 4 tins and they have all been great. The tobacco is dark and a little moist out of the tin. It smells great if you like berries. It is easy to light and after one charring light it stays lit. The taste is sweet, you can easily taste the Virginia in the mix. The berry topping is strong but not overpowering. No problem smoking down to the very bottom of the bowl. I would recommend this as an after dinner smoke as it is very sweet.

The 1 year aged tin that I just opened, had a wondeful aroma of wild berries.(Warning you must be an aromatic fan to enjoy this tobacco).This tobacco has a great berries aroma to it from start to finish,packed well,lites well,burns well,smoked great.I happen to like berries which makes this tobacco enjoyable.Another fine smoking Dan Tobacco.The best berry tobacco I've smoked.Non smokers and the Ladies are drawn to the berry aroma.

If you like the taste of berries, you will like this tobacco! The flavor is very authentic blackberry, not artificial. I like this even better than Samuel Gawith Firedance Flake. This is high quality tobacco with right amount of moisture. It burns to white ash with almost no dottle left at the end. Not much kick in the nicotine department. Fills the room with the aroma of forest berries....very nice! It is monochromatic in flavor, but it holds the flavor throughout the smoke. The tin is pretty cool too! I give it 4-star rating, because I like the berry flavor.

This is one of my favorite tobaccos for the warmer months of the year. I bought it after trying some at a fellow smoker's house. I also loved the name.

It comes across as berry mostly to me, the flavor lasts through the bowl and the tobaccos are obviously high quality backing it up and can be tasted through the flavoring.
