Dan Tobacco Shannon
(2.35)
A rather short cut mixture of sun-ripened sweet Virginia grades, aromatic Burley and some Black Cavendish, refined with a finely balanced fruity flavor.

As I really like Galway, I decided to give a try to this tobacco of the same German company. Fine cut, with an intense and imprecise aroma. Something like an Irish Whisky maybe. It doesn't light up easily and I also noticed that hits up the bowl too much. Its marks were quite intense on my pipe. Those who were with me, though, while I was smoking it, were delighted. It is a good tobacco, but spoiled by the many different scents put on to it. It is not particularly strong.

This tobacco exemplifies the word "pleasant." Sweet, but not too sweet. Mild with no chance of being overpowering. It reminds me of angel food cake -- airy, sort of sweet, but no real substance. This would be an ideal tobacco for first-timers, or for a first-of-the-day smoke, or to cap off a good night. I like Dan Tobacco's flavors, and this is a good smoke. I give it only two stars, however, only because I wish it had a little more punch to it.
The mountain was windy -- wispy even, and the missionary lit twigs in the hut's fire to light his thin clay pipe. The Dan Tobacco Shannon seemed remarkably apropos in this surreal landscape -- frost, bamboo shacks, goats, and only the occasional monk traversing the pristine snowfall. He exhaled and thought that perhaps he had found Xanadu.

Billed as "Sweet & Mellow" on the tin, a more appropriate description might be Sweet and Melon! A sniff of the paper placed over the tobacco smelled like the Original flavour Hubba Bubba my grandmother used to buy for me (when did she decide I was too old for gum anyway?!?). The tobacco itself, though, has a very pleasant melon scent to it.
In keeping with their other blends, this one is of the highest quality: cool, easy burning and without much bite to it. The melon flavour detected from the tin comes through clearly on the tongue, but indeed mellowly (let's pretend that's a word). I would rate this blend higher but for the fact it was a taste sensation that I find a bit odd in a tobacco. This feeling, however, may change the next time I get a chance to smoke it on a warm summer evening instead of bundled up in fleece on a cold, damp fall day.

It's tastes and smells like Erinmore Mixture. It's nice, and you may love it, if you like sweet aromatics, but as for me, there is nothing special in this bland, it's just like many others.

Sweet scent in the tin, but not so much in taste. My tin was dry, no need to let it sit out. I remembered this blend being fruity in the past, but this time around I didn't get very much sweet or fruit tastes. Fairly bland, a step above captain black. I wouldn't buy it again, but did find Dan Tobacco's Donnegal blend to be good.
