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.)

Some time ago I unexpectedly discovered another W.O. Larsen, from the same family, the True Delight, that became one of my favourites. So now I wanted to try them all. This is a decent aromatic, where you feel the sweet aromas without that they overhelms the real tobacco taste. I guess most of the aromatic game comes from the really sweet Burley, the one I can perceive more. Orientals and Virginia I feel them more as comprimary in the background. Cavendish I think is there giving just some more character to the ensamble, and it appears more and more evident after the alf bowl. Good lighting and regular combustion. I'm not so much for persistent aromatics, so luckily for me, the more intense flavor flies away after first 15 minute, giving a continuous evolution of the smoke, in the direction of the rial tobacco taste that in the first minutes is in some way hidden. The thing I could not explain is the way it is so cool smoke...no high themperature, no bite, no acid irritation to mouth and tongue, really atypical for a cheap aromatic! Finally, a good, honest, cheap aromatic, with some good sweet flavor and still a good tobacco taste. I am not going to make a regular stock of it, because I prefer natural aromatics more, but I think I'll buy it now and then.

Nice blend for an aromatic smoker but not for me. I use this for mellowing Cornell&Diehl Bayou Night. Quality tobacco none the less, as all Larsen blends.

I like aromatic tobaccos but am not keen on ones that are overly sweet and sickly. This one smells slightly boozy in the pouch though I'm not quite sure what of exactly. This is not as sweet as Alsbo Black but has that similar continental aromatic casing.
I found it had a tendency to burn quite hot and there is a vague threat of bite lurking there if puffed really hard - for these reasons it will not be replacing Glen Piper as my current all day smoke. I will however be happily finishing the pouch and may even order another...
Good room note so should please non smokers for those of you allowed to puff indoors! Nice classy packaging from Larsen.
Recommended for those with a sweet tooth.

I was given a pouch of Simply Unique as a gift from Germany and had a really hard time finding it in USA. Eventually we were reacquainted via a Spanish online store and I must say I am Simply Delighted !! Aroma from pouch is very pleasant - a nutty backtone - but subtle and mild.Packs and lights easily. A balanced non aggresive smoke - consistent from first taste to final few moments.Nothing to go "woo hoo" about but a nice regular in my stable of tobacoo's.Comforting sums it up !
