W.O. Larsen Signature Vintage Mixture

This is one of those aromatics that will be either a stepping stone for the beginner into the realm of "natural" tobaccos, or one of the four-star pinnacle tobaccos for people that chose to stick with aromatics.

Truly well blended quality tobacco with a good taste, the casing/topping doesn't overwhelm the mixture at all. The room note is of course, as pleasant as an aromatic can be.

Good tobacco, and will easily give many, many of the Va and English tobacco blends a run when it comes to quality.

Aromatic smokers who have not tried this should do so!

I am not an Aro smoker first off. I bought this because the smoking lounge I frequent only currently sells this and B. sasieni which I already have in my cellar. This is a nice tobacco that I recommend. It smells just like the cereal Crunch Berries, especially after a charring light. I smoked right out of the tin and got zero bite from it, the taste is pretty good for an Aro and smells wonderful. IMO this is the perfect Toby for smoking in the company of non smokers!

This is a decent product. It smells more like liqueur than caramel or vanilla .There is nothing very special about it. It seems more natural and not so aromatic that is a good thing. Very smooth burning with no bite. I think you should try it.

This is my first review. Most of what has been said is correct. My only problem is that I can never finish a bowl. What I mean is that I have tried to pack this differently many times, but about half way to a third of the way it goes out. So I scoop out what has been smoked and relight. But I still love it, flavoring is amazing.

EDIT: It makes a great outdoor smoke. You get alot more flavor from it and it helps keep it lit

*Edit:

smoked one last sample through a new peterson system 314 i recently acquired. i must say this opened up a whole different experience. SWEET. SWEET! first one third very sweet with the berry of unknow origin punching along with. 2/3 still very sweet with the berry easing up. finished up nicely. no bite if taken leisure. with the system i could not believe the difference in sweet flavor. didnt sour in the stem either





a lot has been said about the flavors in this mix.

i have only smoked 5g. sample packs and most of what i have recieved has been very dry. i really need to purchase a tin to get a more objective view.

i like aromatics, if you dont like aromatics i cant see this being for you.

now to the mysterious and curious berry flavor mentioned. it is indeed puzzled. some say strawberries? i was more inclined to think cranberry or some other odd berry. almost like a boisenberry (for those of you familiar with the pancake syrup). etiher way it is indeed unique. raspberry? who knows?

if you like aromatics, i would recommend you trying this when possible.

This is one of those rare blends that is extremely aromatic, yet retains it's tobacco character. I find that it does not bite, nor taste cheap like a typical Danish blend. A good after dinner smoke to satisfy your dessert cravings. (requires a dedicated pipe).

A blend that had to grow on me.

The tins are quite expensive, but it has the looks and smell of a very high quality aromatic. That being said, the tin aroma is overwhelming when opened for the first time. It smells predominantly of caramel and vanilla.

The first time I smoked it, the taste was delicious. Like eating a rich dessert. At other times it can be too sweet. It can also smoke very hot. I suspect the packing is rather delicate.

Letting this tobacco get some air first makes it much more enjoyable. The taste is predominantly burley/virginia.

This is my first review so I thought it fitting to review my first tin I ever bought. I picked this up not long after I started smoking pipes. I hadn't much experiance with many blends but I knew I was on to something with this stuff! Very enjoyable all around. Smells great in the tin and in the pipe. Not cased too much so there's no soapy taste I hear you get with some other aromatics. Beautiful colors as well. Sometimes I just open the tin to look at it! I give it 3 stars just because I don't have alot to compare it to.

I'm sorry but if you've ever smoked an Acid Blondie you know why I find pipe tobacco aromatics lackluster to say the least.
