Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG) Indian Summer

How can I top the review below? I can't. All I can do is ask the same question about Indian cut, concur that the tin is beautiful and agree that this is not a bad smoke for those seeking lighter fare. My tin came with a group of tins I purchased from Dan Tobacco about six years ago. If aging did something for Indian Summer, it wasn't much.

Life is an experience, including both the good and the bad ones. This tobacco is in the second category. Is the kind of tobacco I like to try from free samples, or because someone else gives it to me. Too sweet, and light. The fruity taste is too much for me, but to be fair, I'm not into summer tobaccos. keep it in a well-sealed container, or the ants will find it.

Yep I'm pretty much in the same territory as the other reviewers.

I suspect all the cobblers about Amish/Indian cut is just to make this blend stand out from the rest of the competition. And my word, isn't there a lot of it ?

Don't get me wrong I love aromatics like this, but there are so many around that they just seem to blend into one another and this one is no different.

It's a almondy sweet and syrupy Danish which, whilst pleasant enough, has no single redeeming feature, other than, of course, it's price. I know I always moan about price here in the UK and as usual I am getting on my soapbox (yet again) but this isn't available in the UK but until Brexit buggers everything up you get it for 9.35 euros from my favourite tobacco shop on the continent.

The sweet taste stays for about 2/3rds of the bowl and then disappears, so it's time to regroup and fill another bowl. But that's the thing ; with most aromatics of this ilk I can't smoke 'em day in day out. It would just get sickening. Fortunately this one stays quite moist in the pouch (don't know anything about a tin) and retains it fragrance, so you can cellar it a while if you want.

This blend is a cut above the REALLY cheap German tobaccos like My Mixture, but really not by much. Think a lower end Larsens or Stanwells mix and you'd be about right.

A friend of mine donated me a small 10 gr pack of this blend.it's smell was very intense including sweet notes( honey) ,sweet fruits and some alcohol notes.has a decent amount of burleys mixed with bright virginias and brown cavendish.the moisture level was very low.packs and lights decent,some relights are needed.while burning now the flavours are very strong containing honey notes,sweet fruits,nuts ,some spice notes and citruses.burns fast and warm and leaves some dumbness and moisture at the end of the bowl.the nicotine level is almost medium.the room note is pleasant.no tongue bite for me.if you are a fan of strong aromatics i recommend it.for me it is not a unique aromatic because i prefer milder flavouring.

I bought Indian Summer in a 50 g. pouch a number of years ago, during a period of intense experimentation with pipe tobaccos. The illustration in the pouch was rather nice, and the description enticing (quite appealing to think one would be smoking the same stuff of American Indians of lore, whilst retaining a certain Amish purity).

Alas, the content was something else. A rather bland, semi sweet Cavendished-type of leaf, pale brown and uniform in color, that nonetheless burned pretty well. There was really nothing memorable about this smoke. It can be a nice change of pace as a summer smoke, but its lack of character and structure make it difficult to recommend. If looking for something similar, with a bit more poise, try Troost's Cavendish.

Another of the selection I purchased in Majorca.

As a few other reviewers have said, Indian Cut? It's a coarse cut/mixture. The blend is brown in appearance, with a few flecks of yellow, so the cavendish isn't the black variety. The pouch's aroma is one infused with wine. The hydration's good.

The smoke isn't that bad, but I wouldn't have it often. The flavour's a honey-sweet VaBur, with a slightly bitter, grapey type of addition; some wine. On the low side of things it burns hot, quick, and doesn't exactly need to be pushed to bite harshly.

Nicotine: above mild. Room-note: Not great.

Indian Summer? Two stars seems fair:

Somewhat recommended.

On my pouch there was no information about Amish nor any other Info on the blend. It is easy to fill and light and stays lit most of the time. The taste is ok, liquorice and sweetness. The first few pipes are ok but over the time it just gets boring. Don´t get me wrong there´s nothing bad about this one but also nothing special either. I´d say a good one for beginners but almost no offering for pipe connesseurs... somewhat recommended
