W.O. Larsen Signature Vintage Mixture
(3.19)
W.Ø. Larsen's Signature Vintage Mixture is blended with Virginias from the best growing regions in Malawi and Virginia and burley from Mexico and Kentucky. The burley tobaccos are first pressed into cakes and matured before being sliced and rubbed out, while the Virginia leaves are cut into broad ribbons. For added smoothness and rich flavor, black cavendish joins the mixture, with flavors of caramel, fruit, and vanilla.

One of my favourite pipe tobaccos. Not something I smoke every day, but reserve for when I feel like a treat. Tastes great with a cup of coffee or an herbal tea. It is a relatively mild smoke with a delicious taste. The flavouring is not overwhelming but comes through clearly and pleasantly. For an aromatic, it is not overwhelming or artificial. Just a pleasant, smooth, mild and enjoyable smoke with a very pleasant flavor.

Yet another superlative tobacco from old Larsens seemingly endless supply of quality aromatics.
I am fortunate enough to be on my second 100g tin that my son brings back from Spain and at only 14.20 euros this is amazing value.
Inside the beautiful tin (which you'll want to keep) you will find a foil insert rather than a paper one keeping the large quanitity of tobacco fresh, yet not wet, just right for a really big bowlful.
It's smells of rich dark and fruity chocolate, underpinned by a sturdy virginia aroma. As with most of Larson's best this dark strawberry taste comes through in after lighting and gives a really satisfying smoke that lasts pretty much until the last puff.
The only down side is that this blend does not like being relit very much and as a result can become a little sour, so it's best to take all in one sitting if possible.
The room note seems to be acceptable but surprisingly muted for a top Danish aromatic, but that's just a minor quibble.
Unobtainable in British tobacconists this excellent blend is one of the very best from this blender and is an all year, all day round smoke.

This is one of the most wonderful aromatic mixture ever tried, I have smoked to 100g tins . Even after been dried , many months after opening the box, it is still great . Like most danish aromatics even this one does not bite.
ARZAKOA found so many scents in here, that I suspect he blended the Vintage with something illegal. That would explain the bite he expressed, in italian.

This is the best Aromatic I've ever smoked, hands down. This beats even Peterson's Sunset Breeze, which is no slouch. It lights easy, produces a very rich white smoke (especially for an aromatic) and the flavor is a subtle blend of caramel and some citrus, which give way to a beautiful tobacco flavor about halfway through the bowl.
The best part is that no matter how hard I puffed, I could not get this to bite. None whatsoever- just a delicious smoke.
If you're an aromatic fan AT ALL, this is a must-try. Amazing.

I like this tobacco. The smell is great, and it has good flavor. I have a rum aromatic that is very flat to me. Probably because it's pure cavendish. This one blends several tobaccos and the taste is very nice. I get the best flavors on the sides of my tongue. I open my jaw to draw back with my tongue to get the flavor to the right places. I think it may have it's best flavor when the cherry is small for a lighter density smoke drawn through the tobacco. This being the case, a bowl lasts a good while. I think it's important to profile my tastes a bit. I like McClelland's 3 Oaks Original very much, as well as their Frog Morton on the Bayou. I don't like my Buttered Rum black cavendish, because I only smell good rum aroma while tasting absolutely nothing. I have no experience with flakes save one bowl that was to powerful a nicotine jolt for me to enjoy. So, I think my review is more relevant to those who go for English blends and are hunting for an aromatic they would enjoy.

Outstanding aromatic. Usually i m not a big fan of flavored tobacco, but trying this changed my mind. Perfect ballance between natural tobacco flavors and toppings. Flavors of vanilla and fruit, orange peel and bluberries perhaps, all with slight alcoholic feel. Underneath that is unmistakable burley taste, cavendish and virginia provide sweetnes and smoothness. Doesnt burn too hot and doesnt bite unless you really push it. Produces rich creamy smoke. Comes very dry in the tin a little too dry for smoking but rehydrating a tin of tobacco is really simple.

I found a forgotten pouch of a little test package i onced received from my favourite local tobacco store just before leaving to the park on a nice and warm sunday in the middle of may. The little transparent plastic zipper which had been laying for month in the darkest deeps of my pipe and tobacco drawer surprised me with a mix of amazing colors from golden virginia, maple burley and dark-smokey cavendish - such a nice looking melange back in sunlight. Opening the pouch and taking a first breath i was welcomed with a very gentle aroma of virginia and burley coming along with a sublime smell of - maple-vanilla-fruit. I was very pleased by this mild and retaining topping. I stuffed my Pipe and the tobacco was just in a perfect condition so that lighting it up was easy and it burned calm and well. Oh what a taste - still having enough of its sweet and original taste of the described tobacco leaves it came along with this undefined mix of subtile aromas, reminding me of maple, vanill and fruits i just smelled before. But whenever you focus on one of those tastes it changes and thats why i really love this smoke. Beeing in my world of sensation i noticed barely that my wife, sitting next to me, mentioned the pleasant note and said sonething like "this is the one you should smoke whenever you are with me" - definetetly not an english or latakia mixture. I put it on my favourite list as an mild and pleasant high class all day smoke!

A very pleasant tobacco in two ways, taste and room note! Makes a bit the bowl hot but if you smoke your pipe very chill it's ok.

I don't know enough about tobacco to say much. I'd say only this: I enjoy it in the evening, with a good cup of wulong tea. It's comforting and sweet. It has an exquisite smell. I enjoy the taste too, but it seemed a little flat to me after I tried Dunhill Nightcap. I do enjoy enjoy the smell of the room after and also the smell of the pipe I used to smoke it.
