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.

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.

The first pipe tobacco I ever tried was Borkum Riff, which left me very sceptical of Danish aromatics in general. However, I decided that I should at least give this classic a try before giving up on the genre entirely.
The tin aroma is absolutely delicious, like red fruit with a touch of cream. This is the only tobacco I have tried which literally smells good enough to eat. The taste is very similar to the tin aroma, which is a good sign. Not much tongue bite, even when smoked fast.
All in all, an extremely good tobacco. I wouldn't buy it again, as I prefer other types of blends. However, if you like sweet Danish aromatics, you would have difficulty finding better than this.

The person blending this stuff gets it right. The topping and/or casing is neither too in-your-face cloying nor too subtle as to be undetectable. I get the delicate taste of strawberries during the first half of the pipeful and flavor of quality tobacco during the second. Imagine a desert of strawberry shortcake without the calories. Delicious.

Larsen Signature is a Classic, a Legend.
I propose that this will be considered a Benchmark between the Aromatics, as Presbyterian is, between the English mixtures. It may be voted for the Hall of Fame in Tobacco Reviews.
Sold in a beautiful Blue Can, very well packed into a internal aluminium foil pouch. Their method of packing is quite elegant.
So sweet,pack in the bowl and lights easy, never Tongue Bite, smokes cool and cold, burns very slowly, never burns hot, made with Golden Virginias, Medium Virginias, Little Burley, some Black Cavendish, not charged in Nicotine, (in the manner that fom me, all the Aromatics can be).
Both in the Pouch and in the smoke, i recognize Notes of Caramel and Fruits. Seems to me Pineapple and Mellow. Excelent.
Is a Tobacco without defects..An example of first class Splendorous, Wonderful Aromatic.
Is distinguished between my Favorite Aromatics, among others, as Cellini Classico, Planta Exotic Mixture and Alsbo Silver.
I fully recommend this tobacco.

Although this blend is too light and mild to get me excited, I can still appreciate the diverse aromas of the burning tobacco and vanilla casing which mesh perfectly and are truly sublime. Unfortunately, the taste includes a slight sourness/bitterness/spiciness that doesn't meld with the significant vanilla casing, and it lingers on the tongue. I will have to try this again in a balsam-filtered pipe.

A good tobacco with a bit sour taste if you smoke without filters. (When i smoked with filters the sour taste gone) I smoke it in meer and brair both wasnt bad but not a best tobacco. An aromatic must be try. Maybe i buy it again if i cant find any better aro tobak cuz there is nt much good tobacco here.

I am not an aromatic man, by any means. I'm not opposed to those who are but I'm more of a strong, English-blend smoker. But most of what I smoke has a tendency to send my family running for the hills.
The only reason I smoke this is because it is the only pipe tobacco that my family will allow me to smoke in their presence. And I really only smoke it around the autumn and winter holidays.
It has some bite and bitterness to it (typical of aromatics this sweet) and it smokes hot, and requires some drying out before it is manageable. I always seem to get a "wet smoke" if I don't smoke this REALLY slowly.
If you're looking for a family-friendly pipe tobacco, i suggest this or Rattray's "Bagpiper's Dream."

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!
