W.O. Larsen Simply Unique
(2.97)
A mixture with a base of Old Belt Virginia, Tennessee burley and Orientals. These have been slowly fermented into a perfect black cavendish. A mild aroma of vanilla, chocolate and walnuts.
(A very velvety black cavendish from Old Belt Virginia and Tennessee burley makes the base of this loose cut mixture. Virginia tobaccos from Africa and U.S.A. and broad-cut bright Virginia of Brazilian origin combined with fine aromas of walnut and vanilla offer a tasting experience of a deeper, finely sweet note.)

Very pleasant room note. It's very diffrent from cheaper tobacco I used to smoke. It's nice even for people that don't smoke. Taste is nice, but the flavour wasn't strong evnough for me. Leaves no bad taste or "burned" tounge. Ignites nicely, even though I'm no master in this art.

When buying, I thought it was a non-aromatic. Only after opening the pouch it was obvious that I was dealing with some stout casing. The nose is wonderful, mostly dominated by chocolate and some bitterness, perhaps walnut. Smokes best after a 20 min dry-out. Simply Unique among aromatics is top notch when it comes to the taste, but what really pleases me is the room aroma. It doesn't bite and glows cool, even if you suck on it hard. Good for a sweet, desserty smoke. Quality aromatic!

This Larsen offering is a mild and yet satisfying Aromatic: it's unsurprisingly sweet but not cloying, nutty and creamy (even the pouch has now a cream colour instead of the former black), it smokes smooth and quite cool leaving a good mouth feel, definitely it has all good things one can ask to an Aro. Regarding room aroma, well, it seems that someone has lit up a Lampe Berger near you.

I can smell walnut aroma from the pouch. Sweet! I found walnut+vanilla note is dominant, with mild chocolate hint. Nutty and slightly creamy. This blend is quite sour (not sure, maybe because of my old pipe). Such a well-mixed aromatic blend, simply unique, like its name. Smokes cool and almost no bite. Great aftertaste.
I bought some pouches and use them as my daily tobacco because it's tasty and unforgettable. It's such a good blend though it's not very amazing. 3 stars for this blend.

In my opinion an extermely balanced tobacco.Virginias are blended very well with Burleys.To be honest i didnt find any note of Oriental...A nice cut.Beautiful flavor to the smoker and to the room without being overwhelming.Ideal for an ''all day'' tobacco.a tobacco with aristocrat character.

I'm a new pipe smoker, and I've got only two tobaccos to compare, this and some Stevenson, which is not even on this site's list, and is no pleasure at all.
The way I feel it, it's nice and mild tobacco. It was a bit strong (maybe because I'm new to this 'doctrine'), to my taste, and if you smoke it too often, it might fill your room with soundly stifling smell. As I started to season a pipe, the tobacco had a more perceptible taste, but now it seems to have weakened, bringing the icy note.
I think this tobacco is a good start whether you're going for aroma or not (yet I never decided where to go).

Nice mild tobacco. Not for everyday smoke but sometimes when you need good aromatics. I think it is good for winter holidays and public smoke. Smooth taste during all smoke. No bites.

Elegant black pouch with golden letters, this is a nice, easy going, mild smoke, on the sweet side of things. The Orientals are barely noticeable, whereas the Burley and the Cavendish are very much in evidence. A slightly floral-honey like flavor, in that great Danish aromatic tradition, rounds things up (if only the guys at Lakeland used these flavor agents in their Grousemoore thing!!! ).
Nothing to get excited about, Simply Unique is a mixture that, without being all that unique, it presents all the fine qualities of Larsen's tobaccos: beautiful leaf, perfect moisture level, easy to light, and if smoked at a proper pace it won't burn your tongue (fast puffers beware!). A nice indoor tobacco, polite, suited for the beginner and very mild.

Simply Unique is a mild Danish classic that manages to hit my personal sweet spot when it comes to balancing out tobacco taste and subtle flavoring. Leaving the tin open for a while improves the pleasure imho and does not do any harm, just allows the tobaccos to take a little more room. For some reason I associate the tobacco and the tin/pouch design with a gentlemen's blend, that just asks to be smoked in public combine with an elegant, sleek or sophisticated looking Danish freehand pipe.
Looking for the answer to what the definition of a Danish classic could look/taste like, ... well, this is it! Enjoy.

I bought on-line 5 pcks 50 grammes WO Larsen Unique......Is this the same as WO Larsen Simply UNIQUE??? Packaging is 50 gram in a brown resealable pouch........Bought in Asia,maybe different name and pack for a different market? Paid a very low price of USD 5 for 1 pouch. Tobacco smokes fine,slow,no bite.....right moisture content.....happy with it and worth trying to get more for this price Maybe someone knows the answers to the questions above
