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.)

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 !

Ok, I smoked only a couple of bowls of this so don't take my word, but this seems like a close cousin of Amphora Black, only it's slightly better. You can certainly find a lot worse in the world of aromatics: at least this one doesn't leave your pipe full of gunk and is actually quite plasant and tasty.

A brilliantly light, yet tasty baccy from W.O. Larsen. Vanilla and chocolate dominate, at times providing a distinct likeness to a mug of great hot chocolate. Alternating with this is a more "baked" taste, slightly spicy (this must be the orientals "kicking" in), like, say, cinnamon added to your hot chocolate. So there's fine, quality tobacco underneath the casing. The taste is quite light all the way, developing more to the spicy variety by the last 1/3 bowl.
Charring light fine. Burns well, tends to need a few relights. No big japes there, just the normal procedure. Works well indoors as well as outdoors (a sunny winter's day, fresh air of the forest provide a great backdrop).
Room note is very pleasant, and has been favorably commented on by many a patron at the house bar.
Overall, the lightness of this blend is nice for a smoke any time of the day. OTOH, lightness can induce tongue bite, though Simply Unique is quite well-behaved in that respect, allowing one to puff quite at will. Made it to my regular routine in one go.
UPDATE: Half a year later, still fine. Actually, has gained a few points from me now in the Summer time. The warmer air helps open up the taste, more "filling" now, not as narrow a taste as in winter. Good choice for the lighter smoke, any day. (And any season).
