Aaaah! Ripples. This almost forgotten little Danish beauty, made its appearance on the market almost sixty years ago. Last time I tried it (ten years ago) I kinda liked it, but forgot all about, until now (2011), I decided to give it a shot again.
ST-group tend to change their blends when taking over production - i.e. Dunhill, St. Bruno etc., but the original danish blends, stay just the same as always. Therefore Ripples is as I remember it.
Pipestud mentioned spiciness in the beginning, and of that I agree. It is almost a cigar-like aroma, which vanishes after a couple of minutes. After that there is only sweet, heavy, creamy and toffee-like VA niceness left. monochromatic, but what the heck: you don't want the goodness to stop!
It burns a little fast, so I recommend packing it a bit firm, and smoking it slowly.
This might be the next blend ST-Group will pull off the shelves, so be shure to buy some tins (www.danishpipeshop.dk). I am not shure if it's listed, but I know they carry it. Probably the highest quality danish curly out there - the only one by ST, but WAY better than any of MacBaren's offerings!

A friend from Denmark sent me a tin of Ripples since it is not available here in the USA. The discs are beautiful to gaze upon. The tin note is delicious, sort of a mildly sweet and grassy smell that told me I could be in for a treat.
The discs were a bit moist and difficult to rub out. Once dried however, they broke up much more readily. The strands are long and I broke them up further to make loading easier.
At the match, Ripples starts out just a wee bit spicy and then settles into a fairly naturally sweet smoke that doesn't change much in flavor as the leaf is consumed.
My palate was left with a fresh, cool and pleasant after taste.
This one is a winner!
